Week 8: Ending it off in Barcelona…

Over our free weekend in the program, my friend Justin and I thought we would maximize our time by going to Barcelona, Spain. Since we had four full days of freedom (Thursday through Monday), we knew we wanted to see and do everything this lovely city had in store for us—from stunning landmarks to exhilarating adventures. We got a beautiful hotel situated directly next to the beach, with an awesome oceanfront view that immediately put us in vacation mode. Waking up every morning to the waves and sunshine glistening on the water certainly made this trip feel like a dream. […]

Campbell Coonley: Week 8 – Thanks a mil, Dublin!

I can’t believe I’m writing my final blog post of the summer! These past eight weeks have been some of the best of my life – exploring and living in a different country, learning so many new skills, travelling to incredible places, and making some of the best friends I could ask for. I am so sad to leave behind a place that truly feels like home.  My friends and I took advantage of our free weekend and travelled to Mallorca! Norah and I departed for the airport on Thursday afternoon to catch our 6pm flight, but didn’t take off […]

Sienna Hurd: Week 8 – Until Next Time!

It’s our last week in Ireland, and I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. This past weekend was our free weekend, so on Thursday, Molly, Kayla, Nora, Campbell, and I all flew to Mallorca, an Island off of Spain. We spent 4 nights there, soaking up the sun as much as we could. It was a very relaxing trip, and we spent the whole first day lying on the beach. Unfortunately, the bus drivers were on strike while we were there, which made getting around very difficult, but we made it work. On the first night, we had […]

Anthony Bell – Ireland Week 8: A last Hurrah

I can’t believe this is my last week in Ireland. The eight weeks have truly flown by. Despite that, I can say I am looking forward to going home. I enjoyed my time in Ireland and am so grateful for how much I have learned and grown through this experience, but I am ready to see my family and friends, and embark on my next adventure. However, there were still some notable events and reflections that took place this last week. My internship experience has been absolutely amazing these past eight weeks. I have really settled into my role, finishing […]

Norah Wolff- Week 8: Ireland, You Were Good to Me!

Final blog time! The Bucknell in Dublin program has provided me with incredible memories, even better people, and an insurmountable amount of growth that would not have been possible otherwise. Going into an experience as such, there are so many unknowns. Reflecting on these past two months, I can not believe where I started and where I am ending the trip. In my final weekend abroad, my friends and I chose to go to Mallorca, Spain to soak up the sun and finally spent some time on the beach. Thursday evening was a long flight to say the least; Campbell […]

Week 8: Looking Back

As this final blog post begins, I just want to say, I can’t believe how quickly this summer flew by. Honestly, it still feels like I just arrived in Ireland, and yet somehow, it’s already time to leave. Over the past two months, between exploring the country and working at Prodieco, I’ve created memories that I’ll carry with me for a long time. Working at Prodieco has taught me a lot about myself and what I value in a professional environment. Being part of the R&D team showed me how collaborative and close-knit a workplace can be. People are always […]
