I’ve been back in the states for a little over two weeks now. Something I didn’t really expect about coming home was this period of readjustment I’m still going through. While I was getting used to a certain way of living in Dublin, I was also forgetting some of the things I had learned from…

I’m back home. My last week wasn’t terribly eventful compared to my other weeks of the program. Things were mostly the same besides the fact that things were coming to an end. The program held an ending reception on the Wednesday of our last week. I was accidentally the first one there out of everyone…

It’s our last week in Dublin! It’s hard to believe how fast the time flew by. I feel like it was only yesterday that I was playing solitaire during the plane landing while fighting off the motion sickness. I’m pretty sad to be going home, but there are also a few things about America that…

It’s hard to believe that we only have 2 more weeks left in the program. I feel like time’s been going by so quickly. I didn’t go on any trips this past weekend, so this post might be a little more mundane and scattered than they usually are (sorry!) I spent the past week revealing…

I think the birds are out to get me. I bought a loaf of bread last Wednesday so that we could start making sandwiches again and I left it on our kitchen table. I left to go to an event for the night and came back to find that somebody had gotten into my bread….

The past week has been a lot of fun! Over the weekend a few friends and I went to Galway. The trip started off a bit rocky because we weren’t sure which bus to take or how to reserve tickets, but we eventually figured it out. We also happened to go during their annual folk…

Hey Blog! I’ve just completed my first full week in Dublin and feel good! I’m still figuring a few things out like how to get around the city or the best places to get snacks, but I’m figuring it out for the most part. One of the first things I noticed was that the people…
