“The sights we saw were magnificant; everything I imagined Ireland would be. At one of our stops, we could see off of the coast and the many islands that lay before us, beautiful and magical, absolutely breathtaking.” (Entry 02/21)

“The spirit and electricity that runs through the air at football matches is indescribable. They appreciate the game much more than Americans do… Also, the fans aren’t afraid to let their opinions be known in quite a vocal manner.” (Entry 02/10)

“This is the first time in my life where I’ve really been able to “sit back and smell the roses,” and it’s a lifestyle that’s taken a lot of getting used to for me. At the end of the day, that’s a lot of what Irish life is about, not boredom per se, but relaxing and enjoying life.” (Entry 01/28)

“Every day is something different here. Although some are rougher than others, I am very thankful to be here. It is beautiful and my flat mates are so interesting. It is fun to just sit around and hear about the various activities that people are into.”(Entry 02/23)

“We then got into a sing-a-long of sorts with Ali. We sang an American song in unison, he belted about Arabic love songs. Bonfire crackles and water-pipe bubbles provided the perfect background music.”(Entry 02/19)

“Life in Granada this semester has been a roller coaster. My new host dad jokes that we could write a list of things that haven’t happened to me because it would probably be much shorter than the list of things that have happened to me. I chuckle along with him, but he’s probably right.” (Entry 02/24)
