Today was an easy (relatively) morning which I really appreciated. I was in my morning routine, wake up at 8, shower and get ready, then eat breakfast at 9. After breakfast I went to class. In class we just worked on the paper and the presentation. Class ended at noon, and from noon to one…

Flower Child
I finally felt awake this morning…maybe the jet lag wore off or maybe it was the long, restful sleep I fortunately had last night. Wide awake, I started the day with a delicious breakfast at Arthur’s Cafe on Griffith’s campus. I am trying to eat as many croissants as I can with the time I…
Garden of Stone
There is something tragically beautiful about a graveyard. Is it really already Wednesday night of the final week? It feels like it has been both a year and a day. I have learned so much about these people and yet I know nothing. We have seen so many locations and yet the surface of Ireland…
Botanical Gardens
We spent today in the classroom and in the Botanical Gardens of Ireland. The grounds of the gardens were gorgeous!

The Dublin Botanical Gardens are diverse, full of life, and are definitely sights worth seeing, but there is something about how tame nature seems in gardens that is off-putting to me; I would much…
Day 22: Art
Today, we had class in the morning and worked through a case study. It was about supplying drinking water to villages in Africa that did not have clean drinking water. We were split into three groups: philanthropists, engineers, and villagers. I was a part of the engineer group and we had to decide if building…
A Very Grounded Experience
Today we visited the Irish Museum of Modern Arts. To put it more aptly, today we went to the Irish Museum of Modern Arts and I promptly left and walked to the closest thing approximating a forest. I will be the first to admit that I simply do not understand modern art. I appreciate its…
8/7: Pitt > Trinity College
After a long break of no classes, we finally had classroom action. The class was given a cool case study about Playpumps from Cathy. I along side three other classmates were the entrepreneurs of Playpump. The overall theme of the case study was talk and collaborate with other stakeholders. Immediately after the case study the…
