My birthday last Friday was really awesome! At midnight, Mariana woke me up with a German birthday song she played for me on her iPod and in the morning my whole host family sang me a birthday song and I got a beautiful blue bracelet from Marie! School was boring as always but all of my friends said "Happy Birthday" and it wasn't too bad ;) When i came home from school my wonderful sisters Stella and Mariana had prepared 17 muffins for me with 17 candles in them! The muffins were delicious =)
In the evening we went out to an Italian restaurant which was REALLY good. Even the Italians said it tasted Italian! Afterwards we tried to get into some pubs but no one would let us stay. Therefore some people bought some alcohol and TRIED to mix it with 7up and orange juice but completely messed it up and in the end it was just disgusting o.O Nevertheless, I had a great evening!
But the best thing about the day was that my dad and my grandpa came to visit me! I saw them only for half an hour but I spent the whole weekend + Monday and Tuesday with them and I really had a great time! On Saturday I showed them the few things that are worth seeing in Monaghan and in the afternoon we went to Glaslough, a small town near Monaghan where we visited a beautiful castle and took a lot of photos. On Sunday they both came to mass where I was singing in the church choir and after that we headed for Sligo. Of course we didn't go directly, we stopped in some small towns and admired the beautiful Irish landscape. I liked especially the countless lakes that are to be found all over Ireland! The water is not deep at all but they are really big and as I already said EVERYWHERE! haha ;) We even went to Mullaghmore, a village next to the sea and enjoyed the beautiful Antlantic ocean and the comparably warm weather.
The B&B we stayed at in Sligo was really cool, the people that run it were extremely friendly and they had the cutest dog I have seen =) no offense Cora and Simba, but he was cuter than you ;)
On Monday we went on the road to Dublin and arrive in the early afternoon. Afterwards we saw a little bit of Dublin but spent most of our time in the B&B. Tuesday was really nice as well, we went to Trinity College, a bookshop, Starbucks and I was even allowed to spend half an hour in Penny's ;)
In the evening I met Stella and Mariana at the bus station who had also spent the whole day in Dublin and we headed to Monaghan together. At the end of the day I was really exhausted but also extremely happy about having spent a great time with my dad and my grandpa!
I hope you enjoyed Ireland and are seriously going to buy that house! haha ;)
I miss U!
Love :D

Last weeks
The last weeks were partly really cool and partly quite boring.
First the cool parts:
Last Friday Lukas and Lorenza came to our house to watch some movies! We bought ice-cream and cheesecake and watched Donnie Darko, The Notebook and half an hour of Ice Age 3. It was really fun and my favourite of the three was definitely The Notebook: Though it wasn't particularly sad it made everyone cry when they both died hand in hand in the end! ;) (<- haha spoiler xD)
As far as Saturday is concerned: well, that's the boring part. We didn't really do anything the whole day and when we wanted to go out in the evening no pub would let us stay and we had to run around in the freezing cold! horrible...
Sunday was better again. We went to the gym and met some friends afterwards at McDonald's! On the whole it was quite a nice day!
This week is the last week before mid-term holidays. They are only for one week but it's nice to have some time off anyway.
Since my birthday is on Friday I'm going out to an Italian restaurant in the evening with some friends. But before that I'm going to meet my dad and grandpa!
Saturday and Sunday I'll spend with them in Monaghan and then we'll go to Sligo and stay there overnight. On Monday we'll continue our little journey to Dublin and stay there one night as well! I'm really looking forward to seeing them again because although I really don't want to go home yet I miss my family and friends A LOT!
Love ;)

Derry!!!
I'm sorry, I completely forgot to tell you about last Friday:
We had no school because the rest of the students were on a trip with Geography, so we (Francesco, Stella, Lorenza, Lukas and me) decided to go to Derry instead. We were a bit nervous because there had been a bomb (I don't know if it was only a threat of if it actually exploded) on the previous Sunday, but our host mum told us not to be worried because there would be loads of security now after the threat. And she was right, we had a wonderful day in Derry!
Although I didn't have much money I bough a really cute clutch for only 2.50 pounds and blue fun-glasses for 50p. We even went to a park there which was great fun as well, some of my friends put some of the photos we took there on the facebook so take a look!
Derry is a really beautiful city, although around half of the city centre consists of one shopping centre :) but the houses are realllyyyy cute and old-looking! =D
This Friday we'll probably have no school again, so maybe we'll go somewhere agaaain <3
i lOVee and MisS uU a LooT! <3

Hey everyone!
At the moment there's not much news to tell, except
a) my hair is now red. At least it's SUPPOSED TO BE red. Actually it's kinda purple but not in a bad way. In a good way, so don't freak, my parents ;)
b) I was in the Rossmore Forest "near" (about 40 minutes walk) my home yesterday afternoon and had a lot of fun with my friends Stella, Mariana, Francesco, Marina (Brazil), Barbara (Germany) and Maike (Germany). The three of them go to the same school as Mariana does (if I haven't mentioned it or you already forgot it: she had to change school because there was something wrong with her visa...) But this forest is rather a park and we KINDA broke into a garden by climbing over (or under) the fence. BUT later we discovered that in the very back of the garden was a hidden gate so ACUTALLY we did nothing wrong ;) Well, we had a little picknick there and felt like we were in the secret garden from "The Secret Garden" (do you know the book?) There are really a lot of things to see in that park, for example a mausoleum, a waterfall and a pet cemetery.
c) I would be very grateful if someone would send me chocolate bananas from Austria. I really feel like I need some right now although I don't even know why o.O
AND last but not least:
I wouldn't mind a few comments ;)
Love ;)

Friends, Books, Music
Saturday was my favourite day of last week:
In the morning I went to the library and afterwards me, Stella, Mariana and Lorenza (exchange student from Italy) went to Francesco's house (from Italy as well) to have lunch there. I have to say it was probably the best lunch in a looong time: Tagliatelle and for dessert we hade chessecake <3 <3 <3 <3 YUMMYYY!! =) Unfortunately he wants each of us to pay him 6 euros for the ingredients now... o.O Oh well, I'll do Marillenknoedel sometime and then I'll charge him TEN EUROS just to be mean ;)
In the evening me and Mariana went to Gemma's birthday party (a girl from our school who turned 18 last week) in a pub and it was REALLY COOL! She and her family had rented a part of the pub so it was only some awesome music and even awesomer people!! The things that happened there include a peanut-battle (peanuts flying through the air are certainly something, I can tell xD) some everybody-dances-like-crazy and boys paying us drinks... only a little something of course ;) We were REALLY exhausted from that tiring day so on Sunday we stayed in our pyjamas the whole day, sleepily walking around and didn't leave the house =)
To keep the promise I made in the heading I'm going to tell you how many books I read in the month I've been here:
- To Kill A Mockingbird
- Lies Of Silence
- Shiver
- Fallen
- Sherlock Holmes: The Sign Of Four
- Night World: Volume Three (three books in one)
- The Red-Headed Stepchild
- The Mage In Black
- The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones
As you can see most of them are Fantasy books and I really have to say that I am a HUGE fan of them ;) nothing new actually but I really only read fantasy in the last weeks o.O
AND I have a new favourite band: The Modena City Ramblers
They are Italian (and sing in Italian o.O) but the music is just AWESOME (they mostly sing about Ireland and therefor the music itself is kinda irish). My favourite songs are:
- Bella Ciao
- I Cento Passi (une due tre quattro cinque dieci cento passi *hmhhmmh* probably spelled wrong but who cares ;))
And everything here (especially the all present rain) is really inspiring, I already wrote a few songs here and I still have loads of ideas for some more ;)
I guess that's it for the moment!
love;)
