Hello Lads,
So since I am here in Ireland for 7 weeks now, I will tell you some bits and pieces about my life in Ireland.
Firstly, I am really happy with my host family, especially because my biggest fear was that I would have to swich my host family, which would have meant a lot of trouble. My host family here is completely different to my family in Germany but that makes the whole thing even more interesting and worthwhile. Moreover, my host mum is a fantastic cook and I just love all her meals.
My school is, according to many irish people, a very good school and I have to say that personaly I totally agree. The Schooluniform is totally fine, the teachers are good and we have a lot of different projekts. In addition to that, I am in the Transition Year and that is probably one of the best things in the world. We don't have a lot of homework, which leaves all the students a lot of time to meet and we make a lot of different trips, and these are always a lot of fun.
The subjects are different than in Germany because some of my subjects are e.g. business, Agricultural Science, Creative Writing, Photography, Accounting, Guidance, Enterprise, ...
Btw, Enterprise is also called mini-company and includes being in a group thinking of a product you would like to produce, producing this product, advertising this product and also selling the product. And all of the money you earn goes into your own pocket, which is really good but this subject is a lot of work too.
Another important part of my life here is my violin. I have violin lessons every tuesday and the obligational theory lessons on saturday morning and my violin teacher is a genius. I learned more during the last month than I did during the past three years. Moreover, I have actually time to practise the violin 4-5 times a week and it is a lot of fun.
I think that is it for the moment and I hope you have a lot of fun wherever you are and that you make the best out of your days.

Best wishes,
Isy :)
