I forgot to mention that this week is midterm break. This morning we woke up at 8 am to catch the right Dart so we could have a going away breakfast for Laurna before she left for the airport in her mom's cafe. It was just Ellie's cousins (they'e all sisters) and Rachel, Ellie and I. We ate French toast, sausage, and bacon. The meal was delicious. The aunt's cafe is in Monkstown which is right next to Dun Laoghaire, so we walked over to Dun Laoghaire to get on  a bus that would take us to Dundrum the mall.  Ellie and I only stayed at the mall for a little over an hour because we needed to gogrocery shopping because tonight was our turn to make dinner and desert, while Rachel and one of their cousins stayed for about four hours. Ellie and I took the Luas, a train system, home. After our long walk home from the Luas station we started on dinner and desert right away. Ellie and I agreed that tonight she do dinner and I do desert. She made this really good shrimp sausage bacon spaghetti tomato cream dish. It sounds gross saying the main ingredients but it was amazing! I made these weird little biscuit cookie things with filling in the middle and icing on top, all from scratch. The recipe told me it would only take ten minutes, well it took me about an hour and a half. Tomorrow we are going to the U.K. We're going to Belfast the capital of Northern Ireland, just my host mom, Rachel, Ellie, and I. Were planning on leaving at 8:30 am to get there at 10:30 am.
