I just got the good news: I have ethical clearance for my study. YES!

Now we’re just waiting to hear from the childcare setting. Next week I should know where I will be going. This is so exciting.

Today I went out with Maeve, my Canadian friend who lives in Dublin. We met her boyfriend and his computer programming coworkers. What a different crowd. It was strange to go out with a whole bunch of guys. WIthout my academic sisters I am completely lost!
