And the highway you travel
Be lined with green lights."

About me: I was born in Charlottesville, VA, home to Thomas Jefferson and the University of Virginia. I have a little sister, a dog, and a cat. I'm from a small town outside of Charlottesville. I love anything that has to do with the outdoors (hiking, camping, canoeing, and snowboarding). I enjoy playing sports, mostly tennis, and spending time with family. I also love traveling and experiencing different cultures.
I'm really looking forward to another amazing summer abroad! This will be my third summer returning to Ireland!
Dublin is going to be a blast for all of us. The city is perfect mix of culture, food, and an overall abroad experience. I look forward to getting to know each of you and spending time with you all in Ireland!
5 rules for this summer:
1) Positive attitudes, patience, and optimism are required.
2) A sense of humor is recommended.
3) No drama.
4) No McDonalds, Starbucks, or anything else that you can get/do when your back in the States.
5) Let's have fun! This will be the best month of your life!
I've followed you all's blog all summer and have loved every bit of it. It sounds like moving the program to Dublin has gone off without a hitch & the students have had an awesome time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping me updated on the progress of the program & how much fun everyone is having. Although it is hard to think the program is "Derry-no-more," Dublin sounds like it encompasses anything and everything Ireland!
Cheers to all & thank you all for making the programs what they are,
