Week Seven: Starting to Wrap Things Up

As our time in Dublin starts to wrap up, I’m filled with lots of emotions. This past week has been super busy. My classroom was especially emotional this week, as it was graduation on Friday for the children I’ve been lucky enough to teach this summer. It’s hard to explain how special these kids are and the relationships I have created with them. Saying goodbye wasn’t easy and I can’t believe they are all moving on. I got lots of thank you cards and gifts from the parents, which was super thoughtful, and now I can remember these kids forever. […]

Norah Wolff: Week 7 – Welcome to Ireland, Fam!

Titling this week’s blog as Week 7 truly puts into perspective how close we are to be finished up here! As everyone said, it went by so much quicker than I thought it would. The trip my family had for this past week felt so far away at a point in time, and just like that, they had arrived this past Thursday in Dublin. The first day I met up with them was a bit drawn out.. to say the least. I told them to meet me at a restaurant that my friends and I have come to love in […]

Week 7: Muddy Trails, Market Nights, and the Feeling of Home

This week in Dublin, it was rainy in spots, reflective in others, and unexpectedly grateful. Our group extended a day trip out from the city to the stunning coastal path at the Howth Cliff Walk. I’d normally describe it as a serene getaway, but we ventured out on the only rainy day on which the path had been transformed into a veritable mudslide. The scenery was stunning—cliffs dropped dramatically into the sea, large waves crashing, and skidding and splashing in flooded shoes more than once made concentrating on much other than remaining on one’s feet an irksome task. I wish […]

Sienna Hurd: Week 7 – Hills, Hurling, and Howth

Only 1 week left in Ireland, and time is flying by! On Saturday, we left bright and early for the Celtic Boyne Valley Day Trip. We started off at the Hill of Tara, then we went to the Trim Castle, the Loughcrew Passage Tomb, and ended the day at the Hill of Uisneach before arriving back at UCD. It was a long day, but the scenery was amazing, and even though it was supposed to rain all day, we still got some sun, which made all of the views even prettier. On Sunday, my friend Grace was in Dublin with […]

Richard Perez, Ireland: Week 7 – Trivia Tribunal

As the program comes to an end, I realized that I was only going to have one more weekend where I could have some fun. So Thrusday, I decided to go to the casino and try my luck at some card games. Unfortunately, the casino that I picked on Google Maps didn’t have any card games and it just had slots so I played slots for half an hour. I left while I was up 5 euro so it wasn’t too bad, but as I was coming back to UCD I got off on the wrong stop (once again) and […]

Layth Kanafani: Week 7 (Almost Done, But Not Ready to Leave)

I honestly can’t believe I’m writing my seventh blog of this trip. Time has been moving fast since we got here, but now it feels like it’s flying. We’re officially nearing the end of our time in Dublin, and as the days go by, I’m realizing how rare and special this whole experience is. I’ll never be in Dublin in my twenties again, surrounded by some of my best friends, living this kind of life. It’s wild to think about, and it makes me want to hold onto every last moment. This past week wasn’t the most eventful, but that […]
