Week 4 in Dublin: Braden Beagle

My fourth week here in Dublin has been an absolute blast! Since I left off last week, the first excursion that we have had since then was going to an Irish pub and listening to traditional Irish storytelling. I learned a lot about the world of fairies that was believed in old Irish times and is even still believed by many Irish people today still. After we heard all of the old Irish traditional tales, we went to Merchant’s Bar for a very good three course meal. A few days later on Saturday, we took a pretty long bus ride […]

My internship is even considered on campus and it takes about thirty minutes to walk there from the apartment that I am at. Besides being more comfortable with the campus the excursions that we have […]

My first week in Dublin: Braden Beagle

My first week in Dublin has caused me to feel a lot of emotions, most of which are a combination of nervousness and excitement. Going into the trip, I didn’t know a lot of the people who are also here and also didn’t know a ton about my internship going into the program, which definitely caused me to be a little bit anxious as I didn’t know how my first week here was going to go. This is also the first time I’ve been out of the United States which also gave me some mixed emotions, most of which were […]
