hawkwing_lbWell, I'm kind of disappointed. After investigation, it turns out that if I want to work on another continental landmass next summer, I'd need at least eighteen hundred euro straight off the bat, for visas and flights and other such requirements (like, say, affording someplace to live and some food to eat while I hunted down something resembling a paying job).
Needless to say, that kind of money does not exist in my near future. So I shall be staying home and searching forfools people who would like to employ a smart hardworking graduate.
*insert hopeful smile here*
Maybe by then the Irish economic world will have stopped ending, although I doubt it.

did that help?
on a more serious note, on the odd chance that southern ca happens to be one of the places under consideration, you are more than welcome to crash at my place for the summer. ...in exchange for teaching me how to climb. :) trips to Yosemite, Joshua Tree are included in the deal.

(Besides, you wouldn't want me to teach you. I still need to learn about nuts and cams and prusiks and trad leading myself. :) )

clearly you haven't seen my apartment. *g*

well, for the moment, I just want to 1) learn how to get to the top of the easiest climb ever and 2) learn how to not get people killed when I'm belaying. Anything else is just extra.
