First snow in Kinsale

First snow in Kinsale - 10cm.

Who ever thought that 10cm are reason enough to close schools and make people get stuck in a town.
I certainly never did.

My first snow free day from school. It was so lovely.

When I went to school this morning cars couldn´t get up the hill. Only three other teachers made it to school and about 10 students.

Irish people definitely can´t cope with snow at all. Shane, my flat mate, couldn´t make it out of Kinsale as he couldn´t get up the hill, so couldn´t other people. A lorry crashed in a house and in the afternoon the supermarket was flooded by people buying tons of food.

I would love a white christmas, but if it means this chaos, cold christmas are good enough.

Alarm clock going nuts

I think my alarm clock wants to annoy me or is still on vacation or it didn´t quite understand the nature of timechange. As for the last two days I have been waking up on my own everytime in shock as I didn´t hear the alarm go off.

Waking up in shock and rushing to school is no fun at all. I really have to solve the mystery, it´s driving me nuts.

Somehow I get the feeling that Irish teachers don´t really care about being on time as much as German teachers do.
