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
I’ll probably have a concert when I come home…
So I’m adding another module. Tin Whistle. Never contemplated learning how to play the tin whistle, but both of my roommates are enrolled in the course, so I decided it would only be smart to join them! Because honestly, what’s better than a trio of tin whistlers? Correct. A trio of amateur tin whistlers who … Continue reading
Back to the Basics
I realized over the past day that I’ve failed to inform you all of some of the day-to-day basics of life in the wonderful city of Cork. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with friends and family back home and those question-filled conversations led me here to this. The time change. If you’re in Wisconsin, … Continue reading
The Cliffs of Moher
We took our first day trip this weekend to the beautiful Cliffs of Moher! We left our apartment at 8 am when it was dark and returned at 7 pm when it was dark again. We went with a company called Paddywagon and it was €35 for the whole day. Entirely worth it! The pickup … Continue reading
And when the time comes…don’t miss it.
So my indecisive self finally made a decision (with a little help from those around me). I decided to take a really interesting class that doesn’t actually fulfill any of my requirements (International Marketing and Management in the European Union) and instead drop a class (Market Research) that does…which is completely different than what I … Continue reading
Eventually I found all the right classrooms…
This post is a little dry. Sorry. I couldn’t figure out how to make class descriptions interesting. But believe it or not, I AM actually taking classes while I’m here. We began classes this past Monday, but our schedules aren’t set in stone until next week Friday when we register. We essentially have the first … Continue reading
a beautiful world.
