When I went to Dublin I was 17 years old and I was very excited.
ReplyDeleteMy father took me to the airport in Madrid to take the plane to Dublin, when I arrived an EF guy was waiting for me to take me home where I was going to spend a month.
My host mother was very nice, but she did not pay much attention to us.
The house where I was, was 40 minutes from the center of Dublin by bus and I had to get up at 6:30 to go to class at 8:30.
I had classes every day from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m.
At first they put me in a lower level of English, and then I had to go talk to the director to get them changed to a higher level. When they moved me I was much happier in class.
I made many friends and had a great time with them, we made excursions, we visited museums and we walked through the center of Dublin to get to know it better.
One day I got confused by bus to go back home and I called my father because I did not know what to do, I had to take the bus back and take another one to go back to my house.
When I went to Dublin, my cousin was living there, and I stayed with her also for lunch or dinner.
The month passed very quickly and when I wanted to realize I had to get back on the plane to back home.
