17 March

I’m in Dublin since the 3th of February. During this two months I’ve lived a lot of new experiences.
Sometimes, at the first week, I had the impression people like if people were joking when they spoke in English. Sometimes I thought: “Well, stop speaking English!! Now it’s time to speak Spanish!”. Of course I knew people wasn’t able to do that, but sometimes it was my feeling.

I remember one of the firts days, I was with Laura in a bookshop and the dependent was Spanish. I spoke a few words in Spanish with the girl and suddenly I turned my head to Laura and I started to speak to her in Spanish. Laura said to me: “What are you doing? I can’t understand anything!”. It was so funny. Now I don’t have that feeling any more.

Dublin and I think all Irish territory has a strange weather. We never know if tomorrow will rain, will be sunny or windy. Like Irish people say: “In one day we live the four seasons”. And that’s truth. Last two weeks were really crazy and sometimes, when I arrived at home on the afternoon I had headache, because of the odd weather.

Since I decided go back to Alicante for three months in order to finish my final project degree, days in Dublin are worse than the first month. Things have changed: during the first month Elly, Laura and me, we were always together. But now Elly has gone back to Corea and Laura and me… we realized that we are quite different. We still seeing each other, but it’s not the same. However, we met other people and that was good, because Elly, Laura and I, we were so close during that month and I think we needed to meet other people.

Dublin is great, but the weather and the fact that everything is really more expensive than in Spain, drives me think about if this is the best place to learn English. Now I realized the importance of the sun in my life or, at least, the importance of a stable weather.

Despite all this, I think I’ll come back to Dublin again in July. Well… I’m sure. I don’t think it’s good idea going to the EUA to learn English. Maybe the weather is better, but it’s really so far from our home. So I think I have to get used to this weather.

In two weeks, I’ll be in Alacant (again). But not for a long time.
