I finally finished the video for my second month abroad! It mainly includes our travels to London and to the Ring of Kerry along with RAG (Raise and Give) Week at UCC and a few other random shots. I cannot believe that February has ended and it’s already March 4th. Time truly flies when you … Continue reading

20 More Fun Facts Learned Thus Far (57 Days)
It’s been 52 days since I posted “25 Fun Facts Learned Thus Far (First 5 days)”. Seems like a fitting time to compile a new list. Either that or I just feel like procrastinating my homework a little while longer. It’s rare for a bathroom to have paper towels. About 95% just have hand dryers … Continue reading
Please mind the gap between the train and the platform.
Well we successfully made it out of the country…and back in! Alex, Taylor, and I took our first weekend trip (outside of Ireland) Thursday, Feb. 7 through Sunday, Feb. 10 to London! Our flight departed from Cork Airport at 10:00 pm and arrived in London Heathrow at 11:15. It was exciting getting on an airplane … Continue reading
Ring of Kerry!
We took a trip to the Ring of Kerry this weekend! This trip was one organized by our college. It commenced at 2:00 pm on Friday and we returned home around 5:30 pm on Sunday. And every hour in between was literally packed with the most amazing activities/sites/people we’ll ever be lucky enough to encounter. … Continue reading
The Dublife.
We kicked off February with a wonderful weekend in Dublin (Jan. 31-Feb. 3)! I skipped class (for the first time since being here) on Thursday so we could leave on the 2:00 bus instead of the 4:00. It was €20 roundtrip, which wasn’t a bad deal at all! It’s about a 3.5-4 hour trip, so … Continue reading
A Video! Studying Abroad in Cork, Ireland. Month One.
So I’m doing a monthly video and yesterday I put together “Month One”! I decided to do this mainly because I have the memory of a goldfish. Secondly, my parents bought me a new camera (Canon PowerShot SX260 HS) for Christmas and it has a setting called Movie Digest. As long as you’re on this … Continue reading
We should start living in castles again.
When I began writing this I was finally in a place where I actually had internet. My trusty cafe. Just sitting there with my hot chocolate. But then at like 4:40 they started mopping around me, turned off the music, insisted that I was fine where I was, but I was pretty sure they wanted … Continue reading
I think I’ll go wring out my socks now…
10 Reasons Why I Fit In: 1) I’m short. Being short allows for easy and relatively care-free exploration of caves, castles, and regular Irish doorways. 2) I’m too cheap for North Face, so I don’t own one. Therefore I do not wear one. So in turn, I do not label myself as an American…until I … Continue reading
Cobh. Pronounced “Cove”.
This past Sunday we took our first independent day trip! Look at us. Growing up in Ireland. Our trip two weekends ago to the Cliffs of Moher was on a guided tour bus, so this weekend we decided to trust ourselves and plan one on our own. And believe it or not, we were successful … Continue reading
A Real Live College Field Trip
This past Saturday I embarked on my first ever college field trip with my International Marketing and Management class. Our day began at 8 am and we returned home 12 hours later…a long day, but we were able to see a lot (and I took a nice little cat nap on the way home)! We … Continue reading
