Greetings from Dublin!
I have been here for about 4 days and I am just starting to adjust to the time zone. It has been a bit of a struggle thus far but I am slowing getting on the right time. Today was my first day at St. Brigid’s, Killester which is an all girls school. The school is relatively close to where I am staying, but I need to take the Dublin bus to get there. I am in second class with a relatively new teacher. The students were lovely and welcoming to me today. I even learned a bit of Gaelic! I was surprised at how small the classroom was for the 26 girls in it.
I don’t have a roommate and there are no international students on campus. Since MIE is typically a school for commuters it has been a concern of meeting people. But so far everyone has been super welcoming and trying to connect me with different people. I am going to go into the city on Saturday to do the hop-on, hop-off bus tour. I will post more after more exploring!
Best,
Ashley
