Continuation.

Tomorrow, I am off to Dublin to continue my exploitation of the study abroad concept to travel the world. While different from my first experience--I spent last fall in Berlin--I am equally as excited to get to play in a new city. :-)

This trip is much more focused. Since it's one class instead of a whole semester's worth, we are already limited in that way, but our class is called "James Joyce's Dublin." It is limited to the novel Ulysses, which is nothing less than a modernist masterpiece, and we will be walking around Dublin as Stephen Dedalus and Leo Bloom do in the novel. The focus is on the novel, which I'm sure could take a whole summer of discussion to get through everything if not more, and also on the city itself. What a way to explore a city, especially for an english major--focusing on the city and its past, both actual and literary.

Even though this is a new trip and a new blog, the link to my first blog is germanforasemester.blogspot.com. Can't make a new journey without looking at where you've been.
