But I could do my masters in Irish Studies in a year there, so getting a masters in Linguistics somewhere else wouldn't be unheard of. Maybe I'll look into Oxford, or see if Saint Andrews has a linguistics program. Or something.
I’ve considered doing the Irish Studies programme at Galway too, and just taking the Irish class as opposed to focusing on linguistics. I’m not a linguistics scholar, but I’d like to be able to *speak* at least marginally the language of my people.
Gaeilge is amazing and you should. End of story =)

Oxford!! maybe I’ll see you there? I’m considering applying. When do you graduate?
Fall of 2013, especially since deciding to double major! You?

OH NO. I WAS ACTUALLY CONSIDERING DOING MY MASTERS THERE. DARN. I’ve heard the Irish Studies program is good too, and inexpensive (compared to getting your masters in the states!) and Galway is such an awesome place.
I was really sad, honestly! But the Irish Studies looks awesome and the program is completed in a year, so if I wanted to go do both, I easily could
