Scott's weekend in Howth

        This weekend I had a chance to sleep in. While waiting for Hugh to come back from his hammer throw training, I ate a breakfast of toast and talked with his mom. Once he got back we played Madden and plenty of Fortnite. Then at about 2:00pm, we left the house and went to the yacht club to have lunch with his dad after his regata. I had a burger with chips, which are what we call in America french fries. Once we got back to his house we invited Simon and Greg over. We played Madden and Fifa for most of the night. We also devoured 2 pizzas. After they left we watched a little TV while eating ice cream and after, we went to bed.

         On Sunday I had another opportunity to catch up on some sleep. I woke up, had another breakfast of toast, and caught up on what happened in sports the day before. While Hugh was waiting to go to his rugby practice, we watched TV. Once he left I played Fortnite until he got back. Although I didn’t get any wins it was quite fun. Once he got back we headed into the harbor of Howth to meet up with Connor Waddilove and Owen Defao. We walked around the harbor in the rain until we met up with another one of Hugh’s friends. He brought a rugby ball so we played rugby for a while. After playing we worked up an appetite so on the way back to Hugh’s house we grabbed some spice bags for the road. The were very good with a good amount of spiciness. When we all got back to the house we played some more Fortnite and after a while everyone had to leave so they could eat dinner at their respective houses. For dinner we had chicken with potatoes and broccoli. After dinner Hugh and I played Fifa. We played Simon and Greg online and I was so bad. We lost in both games we played them. Then we had some ice cream and went to bed.

Matt's weekend

Friday night, April 6th, we traveled through non-ideal weather and too much traffic, but we finally arrived at Logan Airport. After only one forgotten passport, the group was ready, and we checked our bags. There were many group pictures and goodbyes from parents as we moved on to security. After some of the bags were checked, including mine because I forgot  that I had a bottle of sunscreen from 7th grade in there, and a few pat downs, we continued on to our terminal. Students dispersed for food and waited in long lines to get snacks and drinks for the long plane ride ahead. We boarded the plane, and everyone tried to  trade seats last minute for an aisle or window seat. The flight was filled with sleep, movie watching, talking with friends, and eating the dinner and breakfast they served. We landed in Dublin, had our passports stamped, reclaimed out luggage, and met up with our host brothers without any troubles. We met our ho...

Thinking Thursday

              Today we really got to understand Ireland and the history behind it. During the first half of the day we attended many classes, ranging from the Irish language and its culture to Ireland’s scientific discoveries. Within our language class our teacher taught us how to start a conversation in Irish, for example, "Conas atá tú" means "How are you?" in Irish. I enjoyed this class because this language helped further my understanding of the Irish language and the culture itself. After our small break we went to a science class. In this class, our teacher gave us a history on the historic science that surrounds Ireland. Not only did we get to learn about the background of these scientists, but we also got to experiment. In one of our experiments we put metal coins into a blue chemical and when it was pulled out there was copper on the metal which changed its color.  Irish language class During the morning we also had a lecture on ...

Marvelous Monday

         Going to the Wicklow Mountains was an amazing experience. The view was incredible. Even though we were not at the top, you could see so much of the mountain and fully experience its beauty. We learned so much about the history of the mountains as well as the type of land that is at the bottom of the mountains. We were able to see the areas where mining took place as well as the areas untouched which were full of trees. Unfortunately, we did not walk up them because it was very windy, but it was still an unbelievable experience overall, and I would love to revisit it someday.                                                                                                     River at the base of the m...
