It is so fantastic here!!! Everything is green, but not the same kind of green! You find so many shades of green here
My host family is so nice and lovely that I already feel at home here. Monaghan really is a small town but the houses are beautiful (and look all the same ;)) and the weather also is quite nice (it hastnt even rained much)

ONE MONTH!
Only one more month and than it´s time for me to start my exchange year! No one who hasn´t lived a year in a foreign country can imagine what this feeling is like you have when you think about this oncoming experience. Actually it´s not just one single feeling but a mixture of nervousness, extreme joyfulness, unsureness and sometimes I have these tiny itzy bitzy moments of doubt where I wonder if it was the right decision to leave my family and friends for themselves for a whole year. But I think everybody doubts his or her decisions sometimes, what matters is if you still think it was a bad decision AFTERWARDS or not.
Anyway, that´s me one month before my exchange year. When I´ll be back we can compare the me now and the me then and look what´s different ;) that would surely be intersting!
Slán agat,
a very ambivalent feeling Resa <3

Irish Humour
I don't know if you already know but the Irish humour is a little... well, weird^^
Here are a few examples of jokes =)
At the World Women's Conference, the first speaker from England stood up: "At last year's conference we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands.
Well after the conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself.
After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb."
The crowd cheered.
The second speaker from America stood up: "After last year's conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had done not only his own washing but my washing as well."
The crowd cheered.
The third speaker from Ireland stood up: "After last year's conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer do his shopping and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I could see a little bit out of my left eye."
An Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walk into a pub. They proceed to each buy a pint of Guinness.
Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage three flies landed in each of their pints, and were stuck in the thick head.
The Englishman pushed his beer away from him in disgust.
The Scotsman fished the offending fly out of his beer and continued drinking it as if nothing had happened.
The Irishman too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer and then started yelling, "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT YOU BASTARD!!!" xD
The Top Ten Signs That You're Being Stalked by a Leprechaun
Generic-looking green van parked across the street with Notre Dame bumper sticker.
Every time you turn around the pitter-pattering stops and that green fire hydrant seems to have gotten a little closer.
Green lipstick marks on the butt of your Dockers.
You're being followed by a large woman with a sultry voice and a dying career. (Oops! That's a sign you're being stalked by Chaka Khan.)
You don't recall owning an anatomically correct lawn gnome.
Card delivered with the bouquet of 4-leaf clovers reads, "I bet you're magically delicious!"
When you come home from work, the potatoes are missing from the cupboard and your parrot is singing "Danny Boy."
Prank caller has a really corny Irish accent, and Richard Gere has an airtight alibi.
Those tiny green hairs on your toilet seat.
Sultry voice from shower soap dish asks, "Is that your shillelagh, or are you just happy to see me?"
Pink hearts, yellow moons, blue diamonds scratched on your car at knee-level, and Ross Perot is nowhere to be found.
Them little green pellets in the litter box ain't M&M's, Chester.
Every day this week you've noticed the same buckle shoes dangling just above the floor in the stall next to you.
Well...^^ What do you think of it? ;)

2 more months!
Only 62 more days until my flight to Ireland! Omg, I'm so excited and a little nervous, I must admit...
I don't know yet what I'm going to pack and I have no idea what I'm going to give my family as a welcome present AND I have nothing yet to give my friends as a goodbye gift o.O
Clara's making me really nervous since she already HAS all the stuff she's going to give us and she's been thinking about it for about a month! I guess my time has slowly come too...
One would think that school doesn't make any more trouble since there are only two more weeks left until the holidays but since I've been ill the whole last week it's not over yet for me. I have to hand in a history presentation until tomorrow evening and I have to study Biology for my test on Monday and I don't know ANYTHING yet o.O well, tomorrow's obviousy going to be a rough day^^
Anyway, at least soon it's all over and them I'm not going to see my school for a whole year! o.O Don't know if that makes me happy...

Orientation Meeting!
Next week on Saturday I'll go to Vienna on an Orientation Meeting of EF! I'm really excited and I hope Stella, my Italian friend who will stay with me in Ireland, will tell me something about HERS since it's already this week! Apart from that, I haven't much to tell concerning my exchange, so good night =D
