Hi everyone!
  Yes... I am still here! Haha, I have been busy running around England/Ireland! So let me tell you all about it! :) I started class last week. The class is about using drama in the classroom to help the children understand the material better. Needless to say, as long as I show up, it will be an easy A+. So I like that part so far, even though it gets a little dull at times! We spent the day on Friday in London! We got to see a lot of the real "touristy" things like Big Ben, Parliament, Changing of the Guard at the Buckingham Palace, and the London Eye. I'll post a few pictures! Then later that night my whole group took a quick flight over to Ireland! It was great. I fell in love with it! We had a really great time in Dublin on Friday night, we went to the famous "Temple Bar" It was packed. There were all tourists everywhere! We were able to find some other places with some true Irish people, so we made friends and got a feel for what Dublin is really like from someone who lives there! Saturday morning, we took a 4 hour bus ride down to Cork. Cork was so beautiful! We went to the Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney Stone! Definitely a very cool experience. And then my camera died. :( But we went touring around Cork that night and stayed in a hostel and headed back to Dublin Sunday morning on another 4 hour bus ride. (We spent a good portion of the trip travelling) But we made it back to Dublin and took a tour of the Guinness Storehouse/Factory. Also a very cool experience. The whole factory is shaped like a very large pint glass! It was 7 stories high and at the very end you get a free pint of Guinness. Then we began what turned out to be a veryyyy long trip back to Brighton. We got our bus back to the Dublin airport. Then our flight left a half hour late. (It was supposed to leave at 8:55pm, didn't leave till 9:30pm) So we finally landed and then sat on the plane for 30 more minutes! Because the doors to the plane wouldn't open, so they finally managed to get the back door open and we took stairs down outside at Heathrow! They took us through a back door security exit and we didn't even have to go through customs, which was probably unintentional on their part. But we hurried along to catch the tube (like underground train) and we found out the one we needed was being fixed in the middle section. So we had to take the tube to one stop get off take a bus to the next stop and then get back on the tube. As you can imagine it took a long time! Then we got off the tube and found out the LAST train to Brighton was leaving very soon! So we all got our tickets hopped on and it was another hour and 15 back to Brighton. Finally we got to Brighton and you're supposed to take another quick train to the station right by our dorms. Well that train had stopped for the night so we all took our bags and walked into Brighton somewhere close to 2:30 am. Finally we found a bus stop where we waited for another 20 minutes and were able to scrummage up some pounds to head back to our dorms! Needless to say we made it back around 3:15am! and we had to be at the bus stop at 8:45am to go to a school in town! So that was quite the trip home. But we went to the schools, which was such a great experience to see the similarities and differences between that and American schools! So needless to say I have been keeping myself pretty busy around here! I miss you all and I will try to post a few pictures on here for you to see! Love you all! Thanks for reading about my trip! :)
Love,
