BATTISTELLA LINDA 4BLSU

Thursday, 4 February.

Now it's 6.30 and even if I didn't sleep much, I'm not tired! I get up with calmly and I go downstairs to have breakfast. My friend is still in bed, she's sick so today she has to stay at home. On the table, like everymorning, I find a glass of orange juice, some biscuits and a croissant with chocolate or strawberries jam. Here I can have breakfast with poise, because schools here start at 9.00 a.m.so I have all time to prepare myself as well. Instead at home I do all this things (having breakfast, having a shower) with hurry because I have only30 minutes between getting up and going to school. Now it is 7.10, I go to the bathroom, I have a shower and I do my makeup. I also bring with me my clothes because Stefania is still sleeping and I don't want to wake her up.

30 minutes are passed and now I'm going to the bus stop, it is windy, like every morning since I'm here. Fortunatly I stay near my school mates so I'm never alone, we always take the bus together. This is perfect because my orientative sense is terrible so if they woulden't stay with me I surely get lost. In fact, when i went to England 3 years ago I got lost in Farnham, a city smaller than Cervignano!

Now it is 8.20 and we get off the bus,we are a little early so we decide to go to Starbucks to have a coffee. We haven't checked the clock until 8.53, we are late so we have to run if we want to get to school on time. Now it is 9.01 and we are already sitting on our desk, we arrived in time!

Michael, our English teacher starts to write on the blackboard some phraseal verbs. This is a game,we have to guess their meaning so he devides us in 2 gruops and for every right answear the team receives one point. In one minute it is already 10.15, time of break, time flow! In this little time my friends and I are talking about last night and our opinions about the Irish ballet. We are all strike from the ballet, we all enjoed the night. Now it is 10.30, time to return to our lesson. Michael gives us a text, this is a story by Oscar Wilde. At the beginning the story interested me, but now I find it boring… maybe because I'm tired, I hope that Michael will not make us questions. Obviously he does… but fortunatly he devides us in teams so I have time to read the text by myself.

The lesson ends, it is 12.15 and we have lunch. As usual, I have a sandwich that I don't like so I give it to Anastasia and I eat only a pack of cheeps and some fruit. I'm still angry so my friend and go to a supermarket, with our teachers' permission, and we buy something to eat. We have to be at school at 2.00 p.m. because today we are going to visit The Chester Beatty Library and St' Patricks Cathedral.

The Library is quite far from the school but it doesn't matter because we always have fun together. We are arrived here and it is also 3.00 p.m., the walk didn't take long. Our teachers tell us that we have one houre to visit the room.

Now it is 4.00 p.m. and we have to go at St Patricks Cathedral, which is very near from here. From the outside the Cathedral looks very big and hight, it is amazing. I have never seen nothing like this!!. the teachers are worried about Stefania so they go to our host family and we stay with the guide, who explains us some information about the Church. In my opinion this guide is better than the other one that we had before.

Now it is 5.00 p.m. and the guide brings us at the Spire, from here we take the bus and we come back. It is 5.30 p.m. and we get off the bus, it is very dark in fact darknessin Ireland runs down before than in Italy. While I'm alone, my friends decide to go along with me until my house.

Now I'm back home, I go into my room and Jennifer tells me that in one hour we will have dinner. My host family is very friendly with me and Stefania, they give us all we need and the house is very welcoming! It is 7.20 p.m., dinner time, Jennifer coocked for me and Stefania their typical Christmas dish: turkey with ham. They ask me what I have done during the journey and if I enjoyed the day. Rebecca, Jennifer's daughter has also cooked some muffins for me and Stefania, she's very nice !

While I was eating them, my phone rang, so now I'm in my bedroom and I'm talking with my mom. She wants to know what I have done today, so I have to explain my journey another time, it's so boring! In addition, she wants that I send her all my photoes, but she never looks at the phone…. It doesn't have sense !!

Now it is 8.30 p.m. and I'm very tired, I think I will go to bed early this evening, tomorrow will be another busy day !
