This past weekend I was able to say goodbye to Dublin for just a few days and spend some time in Galway and the surrounding area. I really didn’t know what to expect but I absolutely loved the weekend we had. The first night we found a pub that had a hidden pizza stand in…

Is It Really Halfway Over?
Hello from Dublin, Ireland! Today is June 27 and it feels like a crisp spring morning at a ripe 62°! I have to admit it’s pretty weird being in a place that doesn’t get much warmer than 65. For my whole life, I’ve been used to wonderful Pennsylvania that is both extremely hot, extremely cold,…
“The art of life is a constant readjustment to our surroundings.”
Adaptability and Flexibility Man, oh man, what a week! This week has challenged and uplifted me higher than any other week I have faced so far. Not only did I celebrate my 21st birthday, but I also got to run reception at my placement by myself. My supervisor had faith and confidence in me to…

Stepping Out of What is Comfortable
An exciting week in the books! I mean this literally after I visited the Book of Kells and Trinity College’s stunning library. My friends and I also got a taste of home when we saw Waitress the Musical at the Bor Gais theatre after work on Wednesday. It was very entertaining to hear British actors…
Working in Dublin
This second week has been amazing because I am moving out of the adjustment period more and more. Instead, I am starting to feel more at ease and able to get around a little bit easier on my own. Dublin I’ve realized is very lively, most hours of the day, and the sun is out…
Pour a Cup of Ambition, Working 9 to 4
Time Management I cannot believe how fast time has already started to fly by. Everyone has completed their first work week at internship placements, and that means we are all one more week closer to flying back to the states. Although I thought I would be traveling around Ireland more in my free time, I…
