While it was a whirlwind, I found my time in Ireland to be enriching beyond expectation. Working on so many projects was challenging, but insanely rewarding. My internship consisted of so many different tasks, yet all of them worked towards conservation and restoration of the marine habitat. In site visits, I learned to apply my…

7/13 to 7/19 | Blinked and I Missed It: 8 Weeks Goes By Too Fast
7/13 | Sunday It was a rough start to the week honestly, Neila and I both woke up feeling very sick, which was unfortunate because we had planned a day trip to Belfast. Of course, it was the only day trip we had actually planned as well, with tours prepaid and set in time. Determined…
7/6 to 7/12 | Omeath Oh My, I am Stuck in the Middle of Nowhere
7/6 | Sunday Sunday was a fun and sort of slow travel day. All we had planned was walking around the Donegal town center, doing some shopping at the craft stores, and Donegal Castle. What we didn’t plan was that we would be done at the shops by midday and the castle would take 45…
6/29 to 7/6 | Mudflats, More Like MID-flats
6/29 | Sunday Though we had just ended our 5th week in Dublin, Neila and I realized that we had not done a lot of the things one usually does in Dublin. Thus we set out to get a quick breakfast and then go to the National Gallery and the Museum of Archaeology. Both of…
6/22 to 6/28 | We’re Halfway There Oh OOO Livin’ on Cheese. Not Joking.
6/22 | Sunday Tired from our long, arduous journey to Kilkenny (two hours by bus lets be real), we decided to keep our day light and simply plan one activity: a meal at CN Dumpling. See the girls had already done this week one, but I had decided to stay home because I wasn’t feeling…
6/15 to 6/21 | Get in, the Water is Not Warm
6/15/2025 | Sunday A lazy start to the week, the roommates and I stayed immobile until 2:30 pm, only stirring to make our pilgrimage to the beach. After the nearly hour commute, we walked onto the beach, and lo and behold, a red flag. Clarity struck me. Half of my job involves checking the water…
6/8 to 6/14 | Oh We’re in it Now
Sunday | 6/8/2025 Sunday started bright and early for a full 13 hours of West Coast exploration. Unfortunately, my alarm was acting up and went off essentially silently, meaning I didn’t get up till the late hour of 6:00 am… the time we were set to leave. After having a near heart attack and getting…
6/1 to 6/7 | Getting into the Groove
6/1/2025 | Sunday I didn’t mention this last week because I pretended it was not a thing, but on Friday, I ended the day feeling slightly ill. I stayed in that night, but the next morning we went to Howth. This was not a great deal for my sickness, and I woke up Sunday feeling…
5/26 to 5/31 | Arrival in Dublin and a New Day-to-Day
5/26/2025 | Monday After seven long hours, Neila and I arrived in Dublin not so bright eyed. As if they sensed my malaise, however, the airline sent my bag to a different carousel, giving me a mild heart attack and most definitely waking me up. We hung around the airport for some time, met some…
