And just like that, I am back home in the States! It’s crazy to think about how fast my experience in Dublin has gone by. The final week was bittersweet, as everything I did I reminded myself it was probably the last time. EUSA hosted the farewell reception at The Odeon which was a nice…

Characterizing Success
In the blink of an eye, it is my last week here in Dublin! It’s currently Sunday afternoon, and I am preparing for the last work week ahead before heading to the airport on Saturday morning. This past week has certainly been busy, and I have been working on a couple different articles for this…
Communication Gaps
It is Monday morning here in Dublin–in fact, the second-to-last Monday morning left on this two-month period in Dublin. I am leaving in just a little under two weeks, which is definitely hard to believe. This past week has been yet another busy work week in the office, and aside from work, I am trying…
Polishing Proficiencies
It’s currently a Sunday afternoon, the 2nd of July. I am writing during my ride on the Irish railway, returning to Dublin from a trip to Ballina, Co. Mayo this weekend to visit my family. I arrived in Mayo on Friday afternoon and settled into my aunt’s house. Saturday, a couple of my aunts and…

Navigating Ambiguity
I have finally completed 5 full days of my internship so far. I am gradually familiarizing myself with my work environment and getting accustomed to a daily routine with my new coworkers, who have been more than welcoming thus far. Despite the friendly environment, many elements of work throughout my days so far have been…
Settling into Routine
I have officially been in Dublin for one full week! This past week has been long, filled with so many new experiences, people, places, and activities. I feel as though I have truly taken advantage of every second thus far. As a group, we began the week with an Orientation Day during which we had…
Arrival in Dublin
Finally! I have finally arrived in Dublin after the seemingly harrowing six hour plane ride from Philadelphia. I have never traveled alone internationally before, so this was definitely a nerve-wracking experience. I did not truly realize just how independent and alone I was until I said goodbye to my parents and they walked in the…
