Greetings From Dublin.

Hey there, my name is Nicky Young. Usually I would be concerned about providing an auspicious and eloquent start for any literary endeavor, but after all this is a blog, and any good blog quickly fills up with so many posts that no one will ever, ever concern themselves with the first one.

If you're reading this, you probably already know me, but in case you don't, I'm a New York University student from Brooklyn, and I'm studying abroad in Dublin this semester. I'm taking a screenwriting course with the goal of churning out a feature length screenplay in three months. There are 20 students here in Dublin. Half of us are writing screenplays, and the other half are taking a course in producing music videos.

In the month that I've been here, friendships have budded and I've proceeded through the most tedious parts of producing a screenplay that you have to complete before you actually get to write a screenplay.

I arrived here in Ireland two weeks before the program started so that I could take a tour around some of Europe. It was pretty cool. I'll have some accounts from those travels in a bit. Hopefully I will make some amusing or poignant observations about my trip all the while the blog some content in order to indicate that I am taking this seriously.
