Week Six

            While abroad, we have Eric who acts as our academic advisor and oversees us as while we are here. He has worked with us to arrange our academic schedules. He has also created schedules for the deadlines of our essays and exams. When we arrived, he was there to pick us up from the airport and take us to our accommodation.

            We also have Sister Mary who works at the college. She was our instructor for the first few weeks of Irish Experience where we got a religious and cultural background to the Irish tradition. She is also the one that takes us on our field trips as part of our Irish Experience course.

            Overall, they have both done an amazing job at making our stay here as comfortable as possible. Sister Mary especially has been around to help us with everything we have needed. She has been here to check up on us to make sure we are happy with our stay here, and to ensure that we are all doing well.

            Our classes are starting to pick up now. We’re learning a lot in the single session classes we have per week. My favourite instructor thus far is my Christology professor. She is extremely knowledgeable in her subject and creates an amazing atmosphere to learn in. She was also previously in charge of the American students who were over here in Ireland. With that, she is very understanding to our situation as international students and takes time to explain things to us in a way that we would understand.
