National Geographic Traveler featured Ireland in an issue years ago, and I've been wishing to visit ever since. Last night, I made the tough decision not to apply for this little fellowship that would allow me to spend a month in Moveen, Ireland. It's actually a competition among the MFA students that I'm not sure I could even win. I decided against it since I need to either go home to Singapore to get my new house ready or stay in Michigan and do research. It feels foolish, but I didn't have time to complete the statement and I thought I'd wait till LK gets enough time off and then we can explore Ireland together.
For now, I'll just dream of those operatic seacliffs.
