It is crazy to think I am going into my last week of work. I will only be in Ireland for 6 more days. I still don’t think this has hit me yet. Everything here has become so second nature that I don’t think about what bus I have to take, my favorite gelato place,…

One of the biggest things that has surprised me so far is culture shock, or the lack thereof. It wasn’t that big of a surprise when I got here since a majority of people in Ireland speak English, and it is pretty similar to the states (but better). Everyone told me that it would set…

This has been a very fast paced week but a really great one! Monday morning my parents landed so right after work I went to meet them in town for dinner at the Hairy Lemon, hands down my favorite pub/restaurant in Dublin. Did some walking around with them, it was really nice to see them…

This past week has been filled with a lot of growth not only in business but with friends! Saturday one of our partners got us tickets to a Gaelic football semifinal match. It was so cool because I got to go with all my coworkers and bond with everyone outside of the office. It was…

This past week was an interesting, fun, and challenging one. I have been sick for a while and finally went to a doctor. It was hard because I missed out on Giant’s Causeway last Sunday because I was so sick. I went to the doctor and hopefully I will start feeling better. The health care…

This past work week went amazing. I am creating designs for the CEO and working with fellow employees on real tasks. At no point in this internship have I felt that I was doing meaningless work, or I wasn’t valued, and I am so thankful for that. I feel like this is pretty different than…

This week was a whirlwind having had my first day and first full week of my internship. I was definitely a little nervous at first, but I knew that no matter what it would be a great experience. I went into it with an open mind especially since the company is so small. I was…
