As we begin week two, there are two changes I would like to make in myself to make this a more enjoyable trip. First, I would like to be more open-minded. I want to take risks, spend time with people I usually do not talk to, and be more willing to let the Irish culture be apart of me while I am here. Secondly, I wish to make more time for myself to reflect. Since we have been here, I have constantly been surrounded by people. I think it is important to take thirty minutes a day to reflect on my experience without any distractions or any other opinions.
