En Route to Dublin, Ireland
Thursday, August 27, 2009
Before I expound on the title of this blog entry, allow me to share how excited I am to be publishing my very first website! This is a project that I have been brainstorming for quite some time now, but wanted to be sure that I had myself sufficiently organized from a creative standpoint to go online. At any rate, here you have it! I've created ShannonChristine.com in order to provide you with:
Living, studying, and working in Ireland has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember (in case you didn't know, I'm nearly 100% Irish!). After jumping through what felt like 100 hoops of applications and interviews, I received my official acceptance last spring to study abroad in Dublin, Ireland from late August until mid-December.
This extraordinary opportunity—this MILESTONE in my life—is allowing me to totally immerse myself in a new and foreign culture. I am also gaining a sense of complete independence as I travel abroad all by myself; I was the lone student from Fordham University accepted into this program, and am only joining a handful of other East Coast college students once I arrive in Ireland. Furthermore, I am so excited to have secured a spot working full-time at an Irish political-talk radio station during my stay.
Although I have seized plenty of "New York City opportunities" to grow and learn, I am certain that Ireland will expand my mind by broadening my understanding of the world. NYC may be an international city, but after studying there for 2 years, it's time to take my learning to the next level in ways I cannot fully anticipate or predict!
Until I write next, I would simply like to close by saying "THANK YOU!" for dropping by! Please be sure to return for frequent updates, useful information, and all of my latest adventures!!
- The most up-to-date information about my intensive platform work in Lima, Ohio, New York City, and Dublin, Ireland
- Daily issues and observations unfolding in the world of health and fitness, and
- Fun and exciting NEWStalgic stories about every adventure I have...no matter where I'm at in the world!
