Thursday the 8th of may

Hi there people!

Today was not a spectacular day. I went to school this morning and was there at 9:00 am but the class started at 9:20 am because there were so many people too late. In the first lesson however we learned a bit about stressed sentences and linked word and that was pretty intresting but still nothing really new to me. A bit later we got a new classmate, his name was Fernando. He is from spain and got in my group. Together we did some group tasks, I was directed to Fernando and Nacho and the teacher wrote a sentence on the board and the guys had to explain it without using any words from the sentence. I got almost everything right but sometimes it was just a word that was missing. In the second class we talked about jobs and CVs, how do you right one and what do you put in it. The lesson was over really quick and we went home.

Tim and I decided to took a „little“ nap for like 3 hours and then we went to the city center to buy some clothes and stuff like that. I have some problems regarding my credit card because I forgot the unlock the pin before I got here so now I can’t use it, exept I send it back to germany so one of my roomates could do that for me. So now I had to search for a ATM that accepts my girocard and we had to test like 4 different banks until i found one where I could get some money. Now I have some money and finally I can spend it on exploring the city. Tomorrow I will met again with Jane to watch the Giro d’Italia and to do some activities. I am glady looking forward to that!

 

Ireland – First Impressions

Arriving at Dublin the capital of Ireland already proofed that this really is a cloudy country but still I was not going to judge this country by its nasty weather but more by its people and lifestyle. After a bus trip which already gave us some good impressions what life looks like on the countryside and divided our group into their different headings a small part of the AFIB after around 6 hours finally arrived at Belfast.

We were picked up by our agency Intern Europe and met our landlord a couple of cab minutes later who showed us around the flats we‘ll be living in for the next two months. With a smile on everyones faces we had our first very good impression about how life could be throughout our internship.

Now a couple of days later I can say that this changed much faster than expected…
