Welcome to my Bog!

My name is Lauren, and I am a junior at Gettysburg College. I am currently on a European journey in England, which I know will turn out to be one of the greatest adventures of my life! I'm excited to share my experiences with you, so you can get a sense of what I'm going through in England.
Oh and the name of my blog is inspired by my Bostonian roots, which has caused me to use the word wicked in excess.

Pictures from Dublin:So Irish

Pub/club from P.S I Love You: called Whalers and it's my favorite pub I went to, and that's saying something since I went to 9!

If you can't see how enormous St Patrick's is, then I'm sorry but it's really big and gothic. I think it was built sometime around 1100 or so...
This was taken looking at a bridge in St. Stephan's Park. I thought it was beautiful and it resembles a water color painting. I like how the silhouette of the umbrella is visible through the rain and the colors on the tree look like a New England fall!

Dublin Castle: When Dublin needed fortification this is the castle that granted it!

The inside of Trinity College. 


This is the inside of the prison where a lot of political figures were held during the uprising in the warily 1900s. It's based on Foucault's concept of penopticism which I'm studying about in class and is an effective model of control over prisoners. 

This is my friend Rathi in front of the main campus at Trinity College. It was a truly beautiful campus.
This is me in front of the gardens at St. Patrick's. It was so pretty even in the rain!
