Our last week was all about endings, as one could imagine. We had our last exam on Introduction to Tourism Marketing on Wednesday and we finished with watching Revenge. To fill in the blank it left in us (and to cover the free time we had too much) we started watching American Horror Story. Even […]

On Monday we had our first exam – Event management & PR at the Sligo Tennis Club. The Tennis Club wasn’t as far as we had thought; the trip from IT took only approximately 10 minutes so we still needed to wait over 45 minutes for the exams to start. When the doors opened, we […]

On Monday we made food that reminded us of home – Geek Burgers that Noora traditionally makes with rye bread. This time we decided to put in some garlic mayonnaise, pickled cucumber, tomatoes, quarter pounder minced beef steak, pineapple, cheddar slices, bacon and salad, served with home-made potato wedges. After a tasteful lunch Siru skyped […]

Monday was a Bank Holiday so many of the shops were closed. That’s why we didn’t have school, either, but we still decided to concentrate in our schoolwork that would soon need to be finished. It would be the last week of lectures at school so we had already started packing and talking about such […]

On Monday Noora went to help to buy some last minute souvenirs and eat out in Bistro Bianconi with her parents as it was their last night visiting us. When they came to say goodbye to Siru, they presented her with a Claddagh ring – a memory they had purchased for both of us. Noora […]

On Monday and Tuesday we did a lot of school work. We had a few bigger tasks to do and we wanted to start doing them, piece by piece, so we wouldn’t have to leave them to the last minute. Noora’s parents were coming to visit us in Sligo on Thursday and we had planned […]

On Monday we had to hand in our Event Manager Interview for Introduction and Event Management and PR at school. For the report we had to interview an event manager or a member of organizing body about organizing an event. For the written part we had to include the questions and answers that the interview […]

On Monday decided to keep up the good work and went to the outdoor gym in Doorly Park. The weather was unconventionally beautiful and it was a delight to be outside. The time really flies when you go to the outdoor gym – the walk there takes about 20 minutes and another 20 minutes back. […]

On Monday we got up early to get to the Belfast city center as our daytrip to Giant’s Causeway would be starting there. The bus was running late and with a fellow Finnish citizen we wondered if we are completely forgotten. Then finally, after 15-odd minutes wait, the bus came and we were happily seated […]

On Tuesday we had our first Spanish exam covering all the things we had studied so far. We were supposed to have our exam on Thursday but we had to shift it because of a day trip with Cultural Tourism to Dublin on that day. Since not all the students had their exam that day, […]
