When we arrived at Stony Hurst we met our partners, it was great. Then our partners took us to a tour in
the college, I realized that it is so big.
After that we played some games called ‘’Ice Breakers’’ to know more about our partners, I liked so much
because doing that I spoke a lot with TJ, who is my partner.
Later we went to classes with our partners, that was difficult at the start, but at the final part of the class I
understood almost all the explanations.
After morning classes I went to lunch, I didn’t really like the food but I was so hungry so I ate it.
Then, we went to Avenue farm to take our luggage, when we arrive at Stony Hurst again we had to wear
our track suit and go to do fitness. That was so hard, it was 40-45 minutes jogging, sprinting and crawling
without putting our knees on the floor.
Finally, we had dinner, we had a shower and we went to sleep.

went to mass, where they practiced some songs.
Then we took the bus to go to the Southport Eco Centre. In the Eco Centre, they explained us about

waste and how to avoid it. We built some motors powered by solar panels, and we also did some
other things.
Then we took the bus again to go to Liverpool. They gave us the packed lunches, and we went
shopping. First we went to a NIKE shop. Then to a McDonald’s, and after that to the Beatles Store,
where I bought a teddy bear. And finally we went to an Apple Store, where there was free WiFi so
we could talk to our family and friends.

January 2015 | Itxaso Alonso
Today, in the morning I woke up at 7pm. First, I got dressed. Then, I went to take the breakfast. I ate
some biscuits and some cold milk. I don’t like cold milk, because in my opinion hot milk is better than
cold milk. The family was very kind with me, because they bought some biscuits only for me.
After that, we went to school by car. We had a talk in the playroom with a teacher. Later, we took the
bus and we went to a factory called Bowland Bioenergy. In this factory, they work with wood. They
make some process and, finally, the wood can be used in the houses and, for example, in Stonyhurst
College . They use to heat school. The Stonyhurst College is the best client of the factory. It was very
interesting, because they only do things that don’t contaminate the environment.
Then, we took the bus again and we came to school. We went to an English class until 12:45pm. In this
class we read a poem about a “Highwayman”. It was boring.
After, we had lunch, we went to the library, because I didn’t see my exchange partner. At 5pm we went
to the swimming pool to see the competition.
Finally, I went home with Katie at 6pm.

Dear diary,

Later, we went to the Grammar Room, where we meet the others.
After that, we were to the reception to be with the teachers, because it was the day to do shooting.
First the Sir, he teach us how to use the arm. All the girls, we were a little bit scared, because we
thought that it was dangerous.
The Sir, he did 4 groups and in each group there were 4 people. My group was: Itxaso, Maria, Jone and
me. And we were the last ones.
When we entered, the Sir was checking if all was well. He entered the bullet, I pointed the arm to the
cardboard and I shoot the bullet.
When we watched the points of all of the teams, we saw that the best one was our with 75 points.
As we won this competition of shooting, the Sir, he gaves us a tin of orange and chocolate. It was
delicious.
Then, we went to eat. I think that the food of this day it was the best one.

On Sunday morning my partner Thomas, his father and me went to treetop
trek, Treetop trek are three trails, the trails are between the trees and there
are ropes in the air and you have to pass from these ones

Diary by Paul Bengoetxea Jan
19th
, 2015
Today’s been a completely different day from the rest of the days. First,
because we could wake up at 9:30, not as the usual seven o’clock. Then,
because we’ve had to wear smart clothes, because we’ve been to mass
between 10:30 and 11:30. The most surprising thing of mass has been that
they’ve spent almost all the time singing. When it’s finished, we’ve had brunch.
It’s a mixture between breakfast and lunch. There you could eat pancakes, ice
cream, bacon, fried eggs and many more things. After that, the boarding
people have taken the bus to go to Trafford Centre Mall near Manchester. The
travel has lasted over an hour. We had heard that it was the biggest shopping
centre in of Europe, and, effectively, when we’ve arrived, we’ve realised that it
was huge. There, we’ve had lots of time for doing some shopping or for eating
something in the big variety of restaurants that the mall has. We’ve come back
at 17:15, have dinner and go to bed. In conclusion, it’s been an amazing day.

Monday 19th of January 2015, Jon Ander Obeso
We woke up at seven o`clock as usual in the school, we had a shower and we dressed up for half past
seven.
After that, we went to the refectory to have the breakfast. It was a poor breakfast comparing with the one we
had the Sunday. That was amazing, with a lot of things to eat like sausages omelettes etc.
Later we went to class with our partners. I had studies, that is like a particular class were they study. I went
there with my partner Benedict Franke, he is so nice.
I was alone in that class, I mean, I was the only Spanish exchange in the class.
When the class finished i met all the Spanish students and we went to a class. We read about fast food,
geography and some history of the college.
At half past seven, some Spanish students went to Spanish class so it was so easy for us.
At quarter to one, we went to the refectory to have lunch, that was good.
In the afternoon, we went to Peter`s class where we do the project about the environment. And to finish the
day, in our free time we went to some rooms of the school to chat with our friends.
It was fantastic! A great day!

This morning, I got up at 7:00 o’clock. I had a shower and I had breakfast with
Jasone and Elene. Then, the Basque people had an art class only for us. We
worked with sgraffito and environmental drawing. I liked it very much. After
that, I had a geography lesson with my partner Poppy. It was quite boring.
Then, my friends and I went to the library to do some homework.
We had lunch and immediately after we went to Old Trafford stadium by bus. I
really liked it! It was amazing! We visited the museum, the shop, the stadium…

Today I got up at nine o’clock in the morning , then I went to breakfast and I had some cereals
and milk, for breakfast.Later at ten thirty I went to mass with my partner, and that was boring
because I didn’t understand what the prayer was saying.

breakfast and lunch at same time. At twelve fourty five we took the bus to go to Trafford

22nd January, 2015 Maite Ollo
Today I wake up at 7 o’clock. At usual we arrive late. Today we do something special because
we go to the church to sing. We never do this before, so it was interesting.
Later we had a special class only for the Spanish students. In that lesson we continue with the
activities about “The Highwayman”. It was a little bit boring, but I won a chocolate biscuit.
Then I had computer lesson with my partner. I finish the class and continued, I had break of
30 minutes. Later I had games, but I don´t play, so I help the teacher with some exercises.
When they finish the lesson, we go to have lunch. After lunch I had 2 lessons of Biology and
history. They are very funny comparing with our classes, so I like them.
To finish well the day we had a party with all the students´ exchanges. We eat some cookies
and drinks and we say goodbye to our new friends.
A perfect day to finish the travel!!

Today we are really sad, because it´s the last day here, but we are also
happy because we are going to meet again with our families.
The best thing here I think that was the trip to the Old Trafford, because I
love watching football matches and I would never thought, that I should be in
such as an important stadium.
The worst thing here, I think that was the moment that we need to say
good-bye to our English families and English friends, because I think that they
are really good people.
The only things I had missed, are the family and the home food. But I think
that the food is not very bad.
I think that I have improve my English to a certain extent, because I am
more fluent now.
I recommend this exchange to everybody, because it´s a fantastic
experience. I know that the marks are going to take down, but what happens?
The marks you can get it better, you can recover it, but not the experience.
WHAT I DID TODAY
I woke up as usual, at 7 o´clock. Then I have breakfast and I came to school.
We said good-bye to everyone and we took the bus, at 8:45. We arrived to the
airport very early. We checked in our suitcases and we had time to watch the
shops. We got on the plane and we had returned. When we met again with our
families, we were really happy. Finally we said good-bye and we returned to
our houses.
Bye-bye Stonyhurst ´15!!!!
