(In an English Accent) "Is the building really on fire? Because that would be a shame."

Well my second week of the internship has come and gone and I think it was probably a bit better than last week. We had to do a bit less if archiving this week, which was nice! Monday we did some archiving in the morning and then Nigel worked with us a bit on how the Museum recorded all the...

A Waterfall, Two Rocks, and a Stone

Finishing up my blog about this weekend… I should probably note that things never really go according to plan for us, which meant we never did actually make it to Galway! Haha. It turns out the tour we booked went to Cork instead of Galway (though I still say they had it listed wrong on...

Stag who?! Stagdoo!

I’ll break this past weekend up into two blogs. This one will focus on Saturday. Throughout the summer there are three school-sponsored trips that you can go on that will take you throughout Ireland. One to the North, West, and South (and then we live in the east!) The problem is they’re...

I always want to be where I know I can't go.

We started off the day with class from 10a-1p where we had a quiz- it was pretty basic and I got a ten out of ten on it! Then we took the Dart (the local train) north to Malahide to spend some time in their town there. We went on a walk to a local castle there that was beautiful. On the way...

Night at the Museum

Well the first week of my internship has come and gone and so far it’s been great. The first two days were the best as I feel I got to see a lot of the different museum aspects. On Monday the Keeper (/curator) of the Natural History Museum took us with him as he ran some different errands...

Our day of artistic mediums… and a rude man and his witch!

We woke up today and instantly wanted to fall back asleep. We knew that we would be tired from our travels, but we weren’t expecting to take this long to bounce back, it’s really taken it out of us! As we were both so tired today we didn’t feel up too much other than just chilling out and...

Dublin once more

Another slow, leisurely morning with check out at 11am. We took our time, had a nice brekki before heading off to the bus station to try for a bus to Dublin. We got there with only 5 mins to wait, which we were impressed with. We knew the bus would be slow, but we didn’t realize just how...

Me... at a monastery?! I guess it can happen!

The last two days have been great fun, but I’m glad it’s the weekend so I can just relax! We all went out last night but by the time we had a couple of drinks we were all exhausted and wound up calling it an early night!! Today, I really just want to lay around- do some reading, writing,...

Cork

Cork Today, was the premiere of Fiesta Latina! We also blocked the whole show on the pool deck, which was lots of fun! This show is meant to be done there, but we only do it in the theatre until the weathers warmer! Fiesta went amazing, and Jean Ann was very proud of us all. We then headed for...

Dublin

Dublin Today was our day off from rehearsals, so we all had a bit of a lie in and then left on the shuttle bus for Dublin. After the first bus reversing into a huge metal bollard, we changed buses and got to town at about 11.45am. We found a cute cafe for breakfast and then wandered around...
