Even if I am in TY, some teachers are just devils: They want us to write one assessment per term. We wrote an assessment in History, Maths and English. And because my History Essay about Alcock and Brown is too boring to publish here and I think you guys don’t want to see my Math …

Bad haircuts, old places and a legendary TY trip
This Monday our TY trip to Dublin started. The bus left at school at 8:00 a.m and it was actually the first time in my time in Ireland that the bus left on time. We drove about 3 hours before the first stop somewhere between Galway and Dublin. After two more hours of driving we …

My day usually begins around 6.30 a.m, when my alarm rings. Until then it takes me about fifteen minutes to wake up, to figure out who and where I am and to get up. Since Sunday I take care of the ponies on our farm. They must be feed in the morning and the evening. …

It’s too early for christmas
At the 16th of November all the exchange students from county Galway went with our LSC (Local Support Coordinator) to Galway for the monthly trip. We went to an escape room and for those of you who don’t know what an Escape Room is: You get locked up in a room with a riddle and …
It’s been a long time…
But yes, I am still alive. My year abroad becomes more and more enjoyable. Galway is a lovely city. It is full of life, energy and music. I visited it twice in two weeks. The first time with three friends, who I met at the Arrival Camp in Dublin. One of them stayed over night …
