Fieldtrip, 17.10.2009 – Studies Informations
On Saturday we had a field trip to the “Burren” and the “Cliffs of Moher”.
I take the course “Evolution of the English and Irish Landscape”. Part of this class are two field trips. The first was on saturday and was really great.
Fossil Limestone at the Burren
For me(and probably also the others) as a geographer it was really interesting to see some of the things we already learned in class. 
(Fossils)
We had to fill out a worksheet and answer some questions. First we went to the “Burren” were we saw fossil limestone. We had to analyze the stones determine them, and with the knowledge we gained in class describe how the stones were formed.

Afterwards we jumped back on the bus and went to the Cliffs of Moher. Although I was already there once(the top picture of the site), it was really interesting to learn about the geographical origin etc. Also at the Cliffs we had a worksheet and had to answer some questions.
The Cliffs of Moher
Reading my reports, you probably just think that I'm only traveling here. But that's not true. I had my first presentation this week and have another next week. All in all I take seven courses:
Geography:
Evolution of the English and Irish Landscape
Reconstructing Past Environments
Sustainable and Territorial Development
Tourism and Heritage Management
English:
Interpreting Literature
English for Academic Purposes
Irish:
Irish for beginners
I have to say that the Irish class is very hard. The language is quite difficult and the pronunciation is quite strange.
I really like my courses, the topics are really interesting and I learn a lot. Furthermore I improve my English just by sitting in class and listening to the lectures. That's my really enjoy my time here, as I know this time here is really important for my English and I work hard on it.
So, now, you're really up to date. I didn't write an article on the first Cliffs of Moher trip, but u have the picture on the top of the site. I hope that I will update this blog about once a week.
I hope u keep reading my blog and leave some comments!!!
Take care!
