Day Sixteen-Twenty-One: Izzy at Barbers, Service Learning Placement, Pablo Picante, and Midnight 3o Redemption Live music at Barbers is always a must. But this Tuesday was extra special because I met Izzy. She greeted me with a smile and tail wags and is one of the cutest doggos I have ever met ! Her owners,Continue reading “February 8th-13th”

Day Fifteen: Glendalough What and where is Glendalough ? Great question. You sound like me, 3o minutes before I boarded the bus to accompany my classmates to the countryside for the majority of the day. I didn’t realize how nice it was to be outside of the city until we were passing through these rollingContinue reading “February 7th”

Day Eleven-Fourteen: Barbers Trivia/Open Mic Night and Bogmen I tried to take it easy for a couple of days. This meant my days consisted of school, Netflix (Rick and Morty mostly), Settlers of Catan, card games, coffee runs when I couldn’t talk myself into saving money, and attending much anticipated events at our convenient andContinue reading “February 3rd-6th”

Day Ten: Back to Dublin and Super Bowl Sunday Since I am obviously imperious to the ramifications of lack of sleep (we had to wake up at 4:3o am to make the bus that would take us to the airport and then home, getting a total of three hours of sleep) I hopped on theContinue reading “February 2nd”

Day Nine: Iceland ll (Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon, and Northern Lights Tours) Day two in Reykjavik was an early rise. Luckily, we had worked it out so our bus would pick us up from our hostel, but missing it meant that no tour would happen. So. Being the nervous nelly’s that we were, and jitteryContinue reading “February 1st”

Day Eight: Iceland l When I woke up, I tripped out of bed because I was so excited to get a jump on the day. (Which is a nicer way of saying I was very much sleepy and disoriented and actually just tripped because I’m blind and clumsy). I finished my packing, headed to meetContinue reading “January 31st”

Day Four-Seven: Jameson Distillery, Temple Bar, Coffee and Chess Chinese The next fews days were centered around school, food, and sightseeing. Having been told that the Guinness Brewery tour was overrated, we made our way to the Jameson Distillery. I think it is fair to say that we all enjoyed the tasting session that concludedContinue reading “January 28th-30th”

Day Three: Bray Day As if we had not had enough spontaneity within the past 36 hours, our group decided to travel to Bray, a small coastal town an hour south of Dublin.  Treating ourselves to breakfast at WUFF and indulging in a caramel macchiato (which is very different than it is in the US,…Continue reading “January 27th”

Day Two: Orientation and Bus Tour Negligent of the sleep our bodies undoubtedly needed, the second morning was an early rise. Knowing that we had orientation and had not yet located the whereabouts of our school, I think it was safe to say we all were a bit anxious about navigation. However, using our cumulativeContinue reading “January 26th”

Day One: “Céad Míle Fáilte” In Gaelic, this phrase translates to “One hundred thousand welcomes” and was some of the first words that I heard upon my arrival in Dublin, Ireland. From what I can tell, this welcoming is distributed generously to foreigners, to reassure them through their travels and embrace their differences. To me,Continue reading “January 25th”
