Update: Adventures in Ireland

It looks as though I’ll be on my way to Dublin this June 28^th! Tickets were purchased today, and plans about my host family and company are in the making… For those of you just tuning in, I have received the opportunity to complete an internship in Ireland for two months this summer in the field of Journalism or Communications. YAY.

“But I don’t know where I should sit!?”

“Sit near an exit…that way you can bail if you need to.”

“Nate…that does not help my fear of flying.”

“Just saying…”

“And am I really going to ‘bail’?!

“I would.”

“Yeah…me too.”

I am not petrified of flying, but this will be my first flight by myself… and I’m going overseas. Yikes. Even so, while choosing my seats with a friend in the library today, I was not completely consumed by nerves. The prospect of immersing into another culture for 8 weeks, plus receiving an internship, could not be more thrilling. And since these tickets are nonrefundable, there is no turning back now…

I will use this blog throughout the summer to keep in touch with all of my family and friends back in “The States.” Hopefully I will provide updates (at least weekly) so you can experience my adventures with me. As they say in Ireland, Slan!
