Welp, Sick Again

Geez, Jason. Can you stop getting sick? Those back home watching the news are gonna get worried. I know, I know. I started feeling bad after my Ring of Kerry trip. I mostly stayed in and rested for awhile and then felt up to going to things again, although it has put a significant damperContinue reading “Welp, Sick Again”

Ring of Kerry

Hey Jason, I heard your ISA program did a bus tour around the “Ring of Kerry”. First off, what is that? And secondly, was the travelling in the bus miserable? Oh man was the travel miserable. I know you asked that question second but by golly does being in any form of transportation (except boats,Continue reading “Ring of Kerry”

SUAS

Hey Jason, what’s SUAS? What does it stand for? Hey there! SUAS is a climbing gym in Limerick, although I haven’t got a clue what it stands for. My friend Johan from Sweden has invited me along a few times now, and I get a discount on Tuesdays as a member of the Outdoor PursuitsContinue reading “SUAS”

Escape Limerick

So, a little birdie told me you and your father got captured by pirates. Care to explain? Well, first things first, don’t wander around places you don’t know when you’re in a foreign country. Especially don’t board suspicious boats going up a river unless you’re ready to get attacked by pirates. My father and IContinue reading “Escape Limerick”

Hey Dad!

Dad? Did you get a chance to see your father? Yeah! My father retired recently and I think when he’s not fly fishing he’s in danger of getting bored at home 🙂 So he came over to see me now that I’m a little bit settled. He was here for about a week and IContinue reading “Hey Dad!”

Jason Brugman and the Pursuit of the Outdoors

Alright Jason, I heard you joined the “outdoor pursuits club” at University of Limerick. I have to say that sounds like a whole lot more “going outside” and “doing things” than you have ever wanted in your life. What was that all about? Okay, maybe lay off the judgement here, although I do hate goingContinue reading “Jason Brugman and the Pursuit of the Outdoors”

Getting Sick in Ireland

Hey Jason, I heard you weren’t feeling well, how’s it going buddy? Aw man thanks for asking, no one in particular. It’s nice to know someone cares. It’s been a little rough goings. I’ve just been feeling some general cold and flu symptoms, but when they first arrived they hit me like a truck andContinue reading “Getting Sick in Ireland”

First week of classes

Hey Jason! How was the first week of classes? Hey there! The first week of classes went pretty well. Everything is a little different here and that’s okay but it’s weird. I’ve gotten used to the small school atmosphere of Wesleyan. It was strange going up to a professor after a lecture and recognizing heContinue reading “First week of classes”

Whoah, A Castle!?

So Jason, I heard you got to see a castle with your ISA study abroad group! How was it?! … Well. Growing up, I lived in Northern Virginia right near Washington D.C. We went to museums and DC, all the time. Whenever my cousins would visit from Connecticut, all they wanted to do was goContinue reading “Whoah, A Castle!?”

Orientation and Getting Settled!

Hey Jason! So now that you’re in Ireland, what’s it like getting settled? Hey there! It’s pretty good. My first day I went down to an Aldi within walking distance of my apartment and got some essentials like food, soap, and of course, chocolate. The apartment I’m in has eight single rooms, four upstairs, andContinue reading “Orientation and Getting Settled!”
