It is hard to believe that I have already been in Dublin for two weeks. Now that I have settled in a little more, I feel like I am finally finding my routine and becoming more comfortable with both my internship and life in Ireland. This past week gave me the opportunity to begin my…

Working with Crazy Weather and Crazy Kids
Wow, what a long week. I spent Monday, my last day without responsibilities, at the mall with some other Pitt students. Being in there reminded me how people really all are the same. Even though we are an ocean away, I felt at home amongst the stores and food spots. This was a great way…
Deadlines in Dublin: Time management abroad versus the United States.
This past week has been the first official week of working as a broadcast intern for Babylon Radio. My hours Monday-Friday are 10AM-6PM. I have a one hour lunch break from 1PM to 2PM and another short “brain break” from 4PM-4:25PM. This past week my “normal” day has looked like getting up around 8:00AM, getting…
The Standards For ID Services

I will be working at St. John of God ID Services, which is a community-based mental disability and health service that supports roughly 750 children and adults with intellectual disabilities across South-East County Dublin. They prioritize…
Week 1: First Rainbow 🌈
Note to self: don’t jaywalk until you know which way the traffic’s coming. It has officially been one week in Ireland. The first few days here were uncharacteristically sunny and dry. The Pitt cohort has experienced a honeymoon period, weather-wise. But, over the bank holiday (Sunday and Monday), the real Dublin has reared its misty…
When in Dublin (POV 5)
This week I had a great time getting introduced to Dublin. I arrived on University College Dublin’s campus on Monday morning after a long travel day to be met with a couple more hours of waiting around for my room to be ready. While it was less than ideal, it gave me the opportunity to…

Although I find the question stressful, I will happily tell you what I’m doing after graduation…for 10 euros…
Finding My Way in Dublin
My first week in Dublin has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I arrived on Monday, marking my very first time traveling abroad. As my plane landed, I felt overwhelmed by a mix of emotions: hope, joy, fear, excitement, and curiosity all at once. There were so many unknowns ahead of…
When in Dublin (POV 3)
Grand, what an incredible week. This week I arrived in Dublin early on Sunday morning and we stayed moving since touch down. Everyday has been an adventure so far. Adjusting to life in Ireland has been challenging. From 30+ hours of no sleep upon first arriving to adjusting to the air and breaking out in…
