Last Monday my school started. Well, it started for me, the other students had school since Friday. I imagined how my day could be and had a very fixed picture of that in my mind. This was the reason why I was so frustrated and disappointed after school. This day was so horrible for me. Luckily, the next days were better. I started to make friends and talk to other students. The subjects are very interesting. We have many in lessons in computer skills, accounting or psychology. I think that our school system in Germany is much better than in Ireland, but we need some of the subjects, which are here in our time table in Germany, too.
We are driving every morning in a singing school bus to school, because our bus driver has is radio on and it is a very small bus, so everyone is singing when a weel-known song is played.
The school is very exhausting. It starts every day at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m.. On Friday school is only to 1:20 p.pm.. Sometimes I go to our small gym after school or take a walk along the beach.
I live in a very lovely host family, I can always rely on. Everyone is so friendly and relaxed. The three kids, Emma, Jason and Ethan are very lifely, so it never gets boring. We are often doing activities like going on walks to Clifden Castle.
On Saturday all exchange students went to Cong, an old village, where parts of the movie “The quiet man ” were filmed. We also visited Ashford Castle, which was built in the 13th century. It is a hotel now with a very beautiful garden and a perfect view on the biggest lake in Ireland.

Wow, das sind ja tolle Bilder von deinen Ausflügen! Da möchte man doch gleich in den nächsten Urlaub aufbrechen. Aber für uns wäre es dann tatsächlich Urlaub, während Du fest in den Schulalltag eingebunden bist. Dennoch macht so ein wunderbares Rahmenprogramm auch den härtesten Schulstart ein wenig wett, oder?! Und, Kopf hoch, jeder Anfang ist schwer und schließlich bist Du ein Kämpfer!
Auch hier ist der Schulstart nicht immer einfach, frage mal deine Schwester… 😉 Da gibt es auch das ein oder andere “Schockerlebnis”.
Jedenfalls gilt die Devise “Immer den Kopf hoch halten, auch wenn der Hals dreckig ist”!
Fühle Dich herzlich umarmt
