Today was the end of my first of my last three weeks in Dublin. It is bittersweet because I am thrilled at my progress on the dissertation (completed my 3000 word Introduction and submitted it today) but I am also getting sad about having to leave Ireland soon. This year has truly been life changing and wonderful...I'm not quite ready to let it go. I am, however, ready to be done with the dissertation! I am just happy that the next chapter of my life looks so positive - so many great things to look forward to in Southern California!
Now that the introduction is complete it is time to move on to the first chapter which will focus on the fiction of Elizabeth Bowen. The introduction was quite long and involved a lot of background information about my use of psychoanalytic theory in my interpretation of the novels. I also set up the distinct response each of these female writers is making to my guy James Joyce (that part was great!)
Oh and a new press release today confirms how lucky I am to be studying English at Trinity College! It is ranked 14th in the world for English studies!
