“Once we were settled, we got to walk around Lahinch for a bit, checking out the town, finding places like the post office, the in-town grocery store, pubs, restaurants and the ATM. 我们在一家叫Randaddy 's的咖啡馆喝茶。 Then we made our way to Cornerstone for dinner,” Hastings College senior Amanda Miller wrote in her blog about her first day in Ireland as part of the 爱尔兰研究员计划.

米勒是科罗拉多州伍德兰公园的新闻专业学生，他是十大彩票游戏平台六名在爱尔兰待了一个月的学生之一。 每个学生在特定的兴趣领域设计研究项目，他们在这个月的重点。 One of Miller’s interests is photography.

“Capturing moments and stories give me a sense of satisfaction that I’ve never really known before,” she said.

在爱尔兰期间，她的主要项目是拍摄克莱尔郡地区救助船志愿者的照片。 “I want to show what these people do as part of their job on the boats, what they do within the community, how they are leaders, how they transform others’ lives, how they interact with their families and more. I want to tell their story,” she said.

While there, she’s also blogging about daily life and the sights she and her housemates experience.
