the influence of friday the 13th...

Friday the 13th wasn't actually that bad, nothing happened, everything was quite relaxed.
SATURDAY kinda sucked though...
I got up early to go to school, since we had to meet there for the trip to the Boyne Valley.
AFter waiting an entiire hour, our tourguide told my that there were 7 people over the maximum available seats in the bus, meaning 7 people had to cancel. Well, it took a long time before that was arranged. Our tourguide, Claire, was actually crying...
Finally on the bus I noticed that after half an hour we suddenly turned around, back into the direction of Dublin. I waited for a while and I walked up to Claire to ask what was wrong. Well, we were late for our tour, so it was cancelled, and they were hoping we could get another tour.
When we arrived at the visitorcentre, they told us that we couldn't get a tour. Suckers.
So we just walked around a bit, but we didn't see the hill of tara and newgrange. I was so close to crying...
The bus toured us around a bit more, but we didn't go anywhere very interesting, so I was pretty das when I got home.
I was supposed to meet Jeroen later, so we would have dinner, but while packing my back, I realised my wallet was gone. My wallet with my cash, my cards and my driverslicence, that is...
I was completely devistated.
Well, I ended up cancelling my cards, because the buscompany told me they didn't find it, and the school rang the pub we had visited, and they didn't find it either.
Tom, the director of the school is such a lovely man, though. He's been doing everything he can. I'm sure that if I would have asked him, he would have come over to my house to lend me some cash.
But that wasn't nessecary, Jeoren came over and we did have dinner in this lovely place. It was reaaaally delicious. Afterwards we wanted to go for a drink, but everything was so crowded, we couldn't get in.
So we just went home.
Sunday I've been in bed most of the day, under my blanket. And the few hours I wasn't in bed, I spent on the sofa watching tv. I just needed to feel miserable for a while.

This morning Tom offered me to transfer money to the school's bankaccount, so they can give it to me in cash. So the money-problem is solved. I have to go to the Garda now to report it.

So...fun, fun, fun...But i'll get over it.
We have a new teacher, he's nice, he promissed me to teach us about the Celts. And he's teaching us a bit of Gaelic, so that's really cool :)
I wanted to post some pictures, but I forgot my cable, so they're still to come....
