About My Blog...

Hello friends! My name is Carly Plasman, and I am a student at North Central Michigan College in Petoskey, Michigan. This year, I have had the honor of receiving the Joseph W. McCarthy-William McCullough M.D. Memorial Scholarship. This is the result of an essay competition put on by the Robert Emmet Society of Petoskey. The society saves money each year to give one student the experience of traveling abroad to study at GMIT, the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology in Galway, Ireland. I am beyond pleased to say that for 2015 that student is me, and I would like to begin this blog by expressing my overwhelming gratitude to the Robert Emmet Society for this once in a lifetime opportunity. I know it will be amazing!

I'm planning on devoting this blog to update my friends and family back home on my experiences in Ireland. The goal is to post at least once every week or two, just showing new things I have done, new people I have met, and new places I have been to. It will be pretty laid back, as this is a casual blog, and I expect to leave with plenty of fun stories! Hopefully I will write a bunch of them down on here so I won't twist them up later ;)

Read on if you are interested! I can't wait to share my adventures with you.

Much love!
