To say 'School in Ireland is different than it is in Austria' would be a huge understatement, because in some subjects, you really just can't compare it. Even the subjects here are completely different: Chinese Culture, Chinese Language (it seems to be kind of an obsession with China, and I already googled it but still don't know why), Public Speaking, Economics, Guidance and Workexperience. Of course there are also subjects like Mathematics, English and History, but they are quite similar. Except from the fact, that the main thing in maths is finding the area of all kinds of squares, what I already did about four years ago, but who cares. It's great to feel like a genius in maths just once in a lifetime.
The Irish girls are so nice and communicative, I really can't complain. It seems like they are really interested in where I am from and some of them seem really to care about me. They have a great community; maybe because of the fact that it's a girls school.
I'm in fourth year, which is called Transition Year. It's a Special year, focused on your personality development. My host mum says, it's really not a very academic year, and she's right. But I don't mind - because even though I'm not really challenged in the 'normal' subjects, it feels like I really gain experience in making my mind up about so many things. We talk about political affairs and global warming, and we are always expected to have our own mind about this topics, what I really like.
It would be a shame not showing you how beautiful a nun's oufit can look like, so I decided to upload a picture of it. Please don't judge.
