Yay, I have my certificate! Level: very advanced!
How cool is that?!
To celebrate I went out :p
Crazy, crazy, CRAZY night!!
I met Caitriona first, she had some friends with her. They were a bit goofy actually. But Caitriona is really cool :D
At school, when she's working, she looks so well-organized and calm, I thought she was a 'good girl'. Well...she isn't. My god, that woman is mental! In a good way, though, we've had a laugh, but, wow...I never met anyone like her.
I can't even explain. And she can imitate EVERY voice!!! I was very impressed.
Well, she gave me her e-mail, and she's planning to come over to Holland soon, anyway.
Later April arrived, and Ann, and some other weird chick, Natalie, who was VERY annoying. We had a really good time, though.
This morning I got up, packet my stuff. That took some SERIOUS skills, by the way!!! My God, I thought it was never gonna fit! But I managed to get it done, and I'm quite proud of myself ^^
I'm at the busstation now, and I thought my bus was leaving at 15.00, but it doesn't. Apparently it's 16.00, so I'm pretty bored. And I'm facing a 4-hour-busdrive. Fun, fun, fun :s
Well, I'll probably just sleep through most of it, and I have a very interesting book with me. 'Irish Myths and Sagas', it's great.
Well, that's pretty much it for today, I think.

DAY 15!
Wow, it's been more than two weeks already! My last night in Cork...
I do have some nice plans for tonight, hope everything will pretty mch go as planned, because the Irish aren't very punctual..
When I get home, I should really do my laundry and start packing already, clean the room and such. After dinner I'm gonna meet Caitriona at Fredz, she' one of the orginizers of the school and the apartments. Today I told her I'm leaving tomorrow, and she was so sweet. "Oh, no! I was hoping we could have a drink together sometime!"
I mean, that's how great our schoolstaff is, I love it! :)
So we're going out tonight, and later on the evening some of my friends will join us to go to a nightclub nearby.
Yesterday my one-to-one teacher, Maeve and I went for coffee after class. She's such an interesting woman! She has been teaching in Korea and Spain, so she's so full of stories! I love it. And she has a great musical taste ^^
She gave me her emailadress, so I hope we'll continue our contact.
Although I'm looking forward to go to Dublin, I'll really miss Cork. I feel so at ease. I love the city, I love the countryside that surrounds it, I love the view, she shops, the pubs, the people. I like my teachers and my classmates. I really hope things will be just as nice in Dublin!
Well, I'll let you know when I get there, wish me luck!

DAY 12!
Damn it, this site is doing the weirdest things, so I hope you guys can still read my posts.
Haven't written for a while, I know. Ok, let's see, what have I been doing lately?
Last Friday and Saturday I actually wanted to go for a walk or make a little trip to the coast, but the wheather was kinda bad :( Maaaaaaybe this Saturday before I take the bus to Dublin, I think the school is planning a little trip to the ring of Kerry.
On Sunday my new housemate arrived, Francesc, a 21 yr old giy from spain. I'm really concidering to learn Spanish, it's not that hard...
Anyways, I showed him around, got to know him, he's a really nice guy. Later I met April for a drink at the Brog, but she wanted to go to 'Fred Zeppelins', and that was really cool! I met some people there, they're kinda crazy, gotta love it! :)
Monday the day started way to early to my liking, but my new classmates are cool. It's 6people now. Danielle, the girl from Brasil is still here.
The new ones are: Ann, 23(?), Sweden. Gabriella, 34, Tzeck(?), Alexandre, 21, France. Karin, age unknown, Switserland.
Today I went out for lunch with Ann, Karin and Gabriella, that was fun. Ann is a metalhead (although she's a very tiny, fragile girl), so we're probably gonna go to a party next Friday.
Wow, seriously, all I'm doing is going out here!! But,ok, my Enlish is surely improving because of it, so...
It's all fine with me!!

sorry
Something went wrong while I was posting my pics in the previous post, so it looks kinda weird, I'll fix it later, sorry!
DAY 8!
Last night I did go out with Marta again, and her Spanish friend. And I met many of her friends from Cork, who are SO funny! They're all musicians and they all have the typical Irish humour. Laughed my ass off :)
Afterwards, we went to another bar with just the three of us, great fun.
Again, I didn't sleep much, just 2 or 3 hours, and this morning I had a test. I scored 80% though, so I'm satisfied :)
Tonight I'm going out with April and her friends, hope they're nice!

DAY 7
hiii.
Yesterday I had a really good day! My teacher, Finbar was absent, and so another teacher, Suzanne, took his place. She's so...intriguing. I've never met someone as ultimately happy as she is! It's almost unnatural, like she's on drugs the entire time. Normally I think that's very annoying, but she's just amusing actually. Everytime you tell her something. Even stupid things, like...'I had a drink in the pub last night', she goes 'wooooow, that's lovely!'. 'wooow, that's fab', 'ohhh, good stuff', 'that's so cool', 'that's grand', 'wooow'. Frigging hippie!
We had fun, nevertheless. After school I went home for a shower, and went to Marta's home. Which was extremely hard to find, btw. But we had an amazing time, we have a very good connection, somehow. I promissed Soibian and Martyna to be in An Brog at 20.30, so we had to leave, but Marta came with me, and we've been talking for another couple of hours. What an amazing woman. Eventually she went home, and I joined Siobhain and her friends for drinks, before we went to a club. We've been dancing like crazy, too bad the music kinda sucked, though..
I got home about 3 o'clock, but somehow I managed to get up early this morning.
So I went to class, where we had so much fun :) Tomasso and Gabriella are kinda shy, but Katrin and Marta are so funny :)
My afternoon-class with Maeve was pretty interesting, we've been reading Yates' poems.
I don't really have plans for tonight yet, I should do my laundry :)
Maybe go have a drink with Marta, but not for long. Maybe I'll just take a walk. The wheather is lovely. Which is kind of Ironic, I think. It's raining pretty much everywhere around the world, but here in Ireland is very warm and sunny.
Well, that's it for today.
