Graney- Week 4 in Ireland

I can’t believe I’m already halfway through my time in Ireland. 4 weeks in and I am still amazed by how many new experiences I am exposed to daily. From folklore to verified history, I enjoyed all of the excursions we were lucky enough to go on this week! On Thursday, I hopped on the Green Line train for the very first time and headed toward Temple Bar for the Irish folktales and fairies event. After learning about all of the sadder and more graphic history of Ireland at some of the museums we visited, it was a nice change […]

Graney- Week 1 in Ireland

I’m finally in Ireland! Ever since my admitted students day when I first learned about Bucknell in Dublin, I have been anticipating this day. After a somewhat restless airplane ride, I landed in Dublin with Tyler and a handful of the other Bucknell students. The next few hours of checking into UCD, unpacking my clothes, and taking a nap flashed by so quick yet the following hours felt like an entirely new day. Once everyone in our suite arrived, we decided to go out and play some basketball with the locals. After dominating for the first few minutes, the jet […]
