Time is going fast here in Dublin; more than half of the program is over. Just typing that made it so real that time is actually flying. Just like Seton Hill, the program I am going through has a fall break right after midterms. The majority of my group had the opportunity to travel Europe;…
Well it is official; I made it to the one month mile marker in my study abroad program! I cannot believe how fast time flies when you are traveling, and now I am making a point to make everyday count. A few weekends ago I got the opportunity to visit the Blarney Castle and of…
