Graney- Week 2 in New Zealand

Already, I feel as though I am fully in the swing of being an honorary kiwi. Most of my time was predictably used up by my internship, but I made a great amount of progress on my project. I have now converted and optimized all of the blog posts for Tomahawk’s client and will be doing some final revisions on them before they are fully complete. I’m unsure of what my next project will be but based on the clients that they are working with, I am very excited to find out! This week I also said bye to Dana. […]

Graney- Week 10 in Australia and Week 1 in New Zealand

Okay, now I can safely say goodbye to Sydney. After the longest and most stressful weekend of my life, I am now in the ground in Auckland, enjoying exploring the city and eating at a wide range of restaurants. On Tuesday, I took my final trips on Sydney’s public transportation and arrived at the airport with a few hours to spare. During my time, I grabbed dinner and did some souvenir shopping for a few gifts that I couldn’t find to that point. I then boarded and had a very great flight to Auckland. This flight mirrored my last flight […]

Graney- Week 9 in Australia

Well this is not the country I expected to be writing this blog in. I’ll touch on it once I get to that part of the week, but I am unexpectedly still find myself in Sydney at this time, awaiting the chance to head to Auckland. While this has not been the most enjoyable process, the first few days of last week made for an amazing end to my major Australian adventures. Monday was spent traveling around the Atherton Tablelands, hiking around the rainforests instead of out in the middle of the ocean. We first stopped at a trail where […]

Graney- Week 8 in Australia

And just like that, it is time to say goodbye to Sydney. I truly cannot understand where the last 8 weeks went but I’m very excited for what is ahead. At this point, I’ve received most of my grades back and am very happy with what I have gotten back so far. Other than wrapping up my classes, I did not get up to very much during the course of the week, knowing the following week would be full of adventure. On Saturday, we checked out of the hotel and spent most of the day traveling to Cairns. Once we […]

Graney- Week 7 in Australia

And just like that, I’m in the last week of my time in Sydney. When I reflect on the past few weeks, I feel that this time as a whole has passed much quicker than it did last summer when I was in Dublin and I can’t believe how little time I have left here. As a result, I decided to make the most of my final weekend, checking off some of my final Australia bucket list items. After a relatively normal week (for Sydney standards by including a few afternoon trips to the beach), I entered the weekend very […]

Graney- Week 6 in Australia

My 6th week in Australia emphasized the study element of a study abroad program. This week, I began a group project about the Japanese Yen, aced my international marketing quiz, and began to prepare for my international finance midterm.  The most significant story from the week came from Wednesday night when the clouds helped to make a very nice sunset. After looking at it in the apartment for a few minutes, Tomy invited me to go on a walk to try and catch a better look at the evening sky. This walk quickly became a run and while we covered […]
