Here's my blog!
I had some trouble coming up with a good name so that's why I didn't start it sooner, and another reason is that I wanted to have stuff to write about too.
School here is similar in some ways and different in others.
The similarities are:
- I change classes
- Most of the subjects
- I have a locker
- We wear uniforms (everyone in Ireland wears uniforms! Here is a picture of me in my uniform!)
The differences are:
- Longer and later lunch time (they eat lunch at 2!)
- Longer school day (we go from 8:40 to 3:00 on MWF and to 3:40 on T/Th)
- It is "high school"
- They offer "home ec" and "art"
- I take French instead of Spanish

It was really funny when we went to restaurants or shops because we couldn't speak a lot of French except for what I learned in school and what my mom remembered from high school.
The first day we were in Paris Johnny and I walked into a souvenir shop and started to talk to the worker. He totally pretended not to speak English. It was so funny and embarrassing.
I miss everyone and am having a good time here.
