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 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. Like every morning on the table. I find a glass of orange juice, some biscuits and a croissant with chocolate or strawberriy jam. Here I can have breakfast with poise, because schools starts at 9.00 a.m.so I have enough time get ready.At home I do all this (having breakfast, having a shower) 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 my clothes with me because Stefania is still sleeping and I don't want to wake her up.

30 minutes have passed and now I'm going to the bus stop, it is windy, like every morning since I' have been here. Fortunatly I stay near my school mates so I'm never alone, we always take the bus together. This is ok because my sense of direction is terrible so if they didn't stay with me I woul surely get lost. Indeed, when i went to England 3 years ago I got lost in Farnham, a smaller city 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. Now it is 8.53, we are late so we have to go back soon if we want to get to school on time. Now it is 9.01 and we are already sitting at our desk, wehave arrived in time luckily!

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

The lesson ends at 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 chips and some fruit. I'm still hungry so my friend and I go to a supermarket, obviously 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. When we are arrived it is 3.00 p.m., the walk didn't take long. Our teachers tell us that we have one hour to visit the place.

Now it is 4.00 p.m. and we have to go to St Patricks Cathedral, which is very close. From the outside the Cathedral looks big and hight, it is amazing. I have never seen anything like this!!. The teachers are worried about Stefania so they go to our host family and we stay with the guide, who gives us some information about the Church. In my opinion this guide is better than the other one we had before, she tells us much more !!

Now it is 5.00 p.m. and the guide brings us to the Spire. From here we take the bus and we getback. It is 5.30 p.m. and we get off the bus, it is very dark. Since 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 really casy! It is 7.20 p.m., dinner time, Jennifer has coocked for me and Stefania their typical Christmas dish: turkey with ham. They ask me what I did 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 am eating, my phone rings, 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 make 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 !
