Max Wilson – Ireland Week 2: New Tastes, New Places, New People

After a long but amazing second week in Dublin, my excitement for what’s to come only grows. This week, I was especially able to get accustomed to my new internship. All of the people who work at Carraighill are very welcoming and always willing to help me learn when I need it. My fellow interns, Charlie, who is also one of my roommates, and Lucy. Both of whom I have enjoyed working with as we converse throughout the day, getting to know each other at lunch, taking the bus to work, and within the office. One of my favorite things […]

Aidan O’Malley: Dublin Week 2 (Saint Patrick’s and more)

Over the past week, I have started to finally adjust to living in Dublin. I have become familiar with the buses and how to get around the city easily. On Friday, my friends and I went to a Saint Patrick’s FC soccer game. We were able to sit close to the field and watch some good Irish soccer. Unfortunately, the game ended in a draw with a score of 0-0. We were lucky enough to watch Mason Meila play, who just signed a record-breaking deal to go play for Tottenham Hotspur FC. We saw him take a penalty kick, but […]

Layth Kanafani: No Job No Problem!

It’s been a pretty good second week for me here in Dublin. Since my last blog post, I haven’t been back to my original internship. After realizing that it wasn’t the right fit for me, I stepped away from the nursing home placement. Although I was only there for two days, I knew that this would be the right thing for me to do so that I can enjoy the trip and make the most of the experience. But just yesterday I was offered a new internship role to do research and job shadow at Beacon Hospital and I am […]

Nathaniel Falcon – Ireland Week 2: Turning 19 Abroad!

Good afternoon everyone! Week two in Dublin has been nothing but a blast and there are so many highlights that will forever be remembered, especially the moment when time hit 12:00am on June 14th! However, lets take a few steps back, rewind, and reflect on the earlier end of my week. My time at Financefair so far has been nothing but bliss. I could not ask for a better situation to be in, I have been able to continuously learn not only from my mentor/supervisor, but also from all of my coworkers! Being able to do this in such a […]

Richard, Ireland: Week 1 – Ire We There Yet?

I’ve only been in Ireland for less than a week right now, and yet it’s already become one of the coolest experiences I’ve had in my Bucknell journey! I took off from Newark airport at around 9pm on Friday night Eastern time and arrived 9am Saturday morning Dublin time. Since then, I’ve been on a roller coaster of events, from checking into my room in UCD village, attending my first class, and completing my first couple of days on my internship. So much has happened in such a short amount of time, that I know it’s going to be a […]
