I’ve been looking through all my photos from last year and I cannot believe it’s been a whole year since I moved into my little apartment in Ireland. I thought it would only be right to reflect on things since I lived in Maynooth.
A Year Later
Back At Bonas
I have (sort of) unpacked and moved back into St. Bonaventure once again. The weather may be cold but the smiles are warm and welcoming. It’s been fun seeing friends and catching each other up with what wild adventures we’ve taken last semester. Today marks the first day of class, so it might as well be my first day back to reality.
Well if this is reality, it’s not too hard to adjust. As of right now, I only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so it leaves me with a lot of free time throughout the day. So why not catch you, my loyal reader, up on my move back into Bonas?
Talkin’ About The News
If you have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you most likely missed all of the headlines reporting on the sexual assault allegations of different men in Hollywood.
My social media feeds have kept me up to speed with all the men being accused of sexual assault. Part of the reason I wanted to go abroad was to see how the news was covered internationally. Here are some things I’ve noticed about the media during my time here and how this “American” news was reported here in Ireland.
Thoughts And Prayers With Las Vegas
I thought Sunday night was going to be a night of eating food and watching Netflix to prepare for the school week. As I checked my phone one last time before turning off the lights to go to bed, I started to notice headlines report a shooting happening in Las Vegas. Being a journalism major, I’ve been following several American and Irish news sources since I got to Ireland. I stayed up a little longer to try and follow the story, but decided to sleep and see what happens in the morning. After a few hours of learning more, I decided to share my observations of being an aspiring American journalist, but mainly an American, outside of The United States.
