An Average Day in My Life

When I was brainstorming this post, I won’t lie, I was trying to figure out my best days here so that I could seem super cool and fun and interesting, but the reality would probably be more helpful than the highlights. I chose to detail Wednesday, October 16th because I feel like it accurately represents my life abroad:

The Power of Latte Art

Fall in Ireland has begun. This to me means chunky scarfs, the Cocteau-Twins, strolls in St. Stephens Green, warm lattes, and most of all, missing home. As the semester has started to take off, so have my feelings of catching a flight home.

Packing! Thrifting!

I knew I overpacked. I knew I would overpack before I began, I knew it as it was happening, and I am especially aware of it these days, as I’ve been spending far too much time in las tiendas para ropa de segunda mano. There are actually so many good thrift stores here, which may be a story for another day…But all this to say that I probably didn’t need to bring so many of the same jeans, tank tops and wool sweaters. But I am glad that my tendency to over prepare reminded me to bring some of the things I actually use every day, and am super glad to have brought.
