I am hoping to find the time to write two other blogs today (in the midst of checking into our flights and finishing packing), but this is not one of those two. This post is messing up the chronological order of my blog posts, but I guess I’m willing to compromise on that. Just as … Continue reading

A Video! Studying Abroad in Cork, Ireland. Month Three.
Hello friends. It has been a while, but let me give you a quick recap in terms of March’s video. Month three was filled with two shared celebrations for 4 birthdays! Taylor and Norton’s birthdays were both on March 10th and Julie’s and mine were both on the 17th. Plus St. Paddy’s Day celebrations of … Continue reading
Pet Peeves & Some Things I Love the Most
I mean these more sarcastically than I do negatively. Don’t get me wrong, they are my pet peeves, but it’s not like a hate list or anything to that extreme. Enjoy. Professors who expect you to study absolutely everything you’ve ever learned the entire semester…but then only test you on 8.3% of that. I don’t … Continue reading
10 Precious Gems in Galway
So we made it to the wonderful city of Galway during the first weekend in March (Friday 1-Sunday 3). It is the first place I have been to (other than Cork) where I have felt “at home”. Not in the sense that it’s a small town like home, but as a city of 75,000 people, … Continue reading
What up homework?! Nice of you to show up.
So let me rewind a bit and take back all I said about not having homework. I guess it’s true that I haven’t really had “typical” homework (like what I’m use to at SNC), but I definitely have work. That needs to be done. That I’m procrastinating. But I’m only procrastinating in terms of my … Continue reading
A Video! Studying Abroad in Cork, Ireland. Month Two.
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
