Cassandra Bailey-Langjahr
An American studying Liturgical Music at an Irish University during a pandemic. You know, normal stuff.
Come follow me @thingscassiefinds on Instagram for more shenanigans!
Remember that time I said this wasn't an educational podcast?! Well, we're getting a little window into the nitty gritty of chant this week as well as a hot take on church history.
There may even be a take-home assignment for you along the way, but it's easy.
I promise.
Welcome to the cluster.
In this episode, we're getting into the wins and woes of technology and why no one is allowed to complain about 8am classes ever again.
It gets real.
Ever been way in over your head?
It's one of my favorite pastimes.
Here's the tip of the iceberg of my first semester abroad (but virtual) in a field I sort of know a lot and also nothing about.
Woo-hoo!
Who am I?
How the heck did I get here?
What on earth does 'Pontifical' mean?
True to its name, this episode is here to set the stage for the hot mess --- ahem, ADVENTURE --- that is my first semester studying abroad (from home).
Enjoy.
Hey you!
It’s Cassie.
Welcome to Bits and Bobs, the true story podcast about an American getting their master’s at an Irish university in the middle of a pandemic.
Sounds exciting, right?
Who am I? As I said my name is Cassie, short for Cassandra Bailey-Langjahr.
My school is St Patrick’s College in Maynooth, Ireland. It is a Pontifical University (more on that later), and I am starting my first year of the Master of Liturgical Music program. Many more details on that forthcoming.
If you want to take a little trip with me through the ups and downs, adventures and frustrations of getting your master’s from across the ocean, feel free to keep listening!
And if you just want someone to commiserate with over the trials of living in this day and age, this might be a good place for you, too.
This is Bits and Bobs.
I look forward to talking to you.
