                             Work Experience!! 

On Wednesday I had my very first work experience. I went to my old primary school (School Mochua Aghards). I was very nervous waiting to go. I had to be at the school for 9 o clock. I walked up to the school cos I live near it. I was so nervous on my way up that it seemed like such a long walk! When I got there I waited in the foyer for the vice principal to assist me. As the bell went she came out to me and shook my hand. She was really nice to me. I saw a lot of my old primary teachers who I was talking to. She gave me a timetable for the 10 weeks ahead. I had to spend about 45 minutes in different classes helping out different teachers. I had to help the younger kids with art. they were so cute awwwwwwwwwwww, i went home for lunch which was from 12.30-1.00. When I came back I went to first class for 40 minutes and fifth class for an hour. I had to make booklets for the teacher and cut stuff out. When that was done I had to observe what the teacher was doing. I got to go home at 2.40.

I really enjoyed my first day at work experience and I can't wait to go back next Wednesday!!!

                                       Carlingford !!!

On monday we set off to carlingford adventure centre. We had to be at esso station for 7 o clock as the bus was leaving at 7 sharp. Everyone was so tired but so excited! The journey took about an hour and a half and we arrived at about half 9. The village was so pretty and it was by the sea. We got to have a room with 12 of the girls in it.

Day 1: The whole group was split into two differnt groups: Group A and Group B. I was in group A with all of my friends. The first exercise we did was get into pairs at the beach and we played a funny game for about 10 minutes. After that we went canoeing. We had to get changed into wetsuits which were such an effort to get on and off. When we got into the water it was freezing. There was 6 people in the canoe and we all had to paddle. It was really fun but my arms were really sore after. When we got off the canoe we had to walk up rocks which was hard because they were so slippery. I saw two jellyfish which I have never seen before! We all lined up to get into a dark tunnel. We sat on a rock in the tunnel and there was a big bucket of water thrown over us. It was exactly like the ice bucket challenge hahaha:( We went back on the canoes and got changed out of our wetsuits. It was honestly the best feeling ever getting out of the wetsuit and getting into dry clothes! After an eventful time in the water we headed back to the centre for lunch. After lunch we went and did a combat course. It was a 20 minute walk up to it. It was definetely worth the walk up! It was so funny and we did so much activities. One of them was really scary but fun. We had to go into a dark tunnel with 3 floors and try and find our way out of it without seeing anything. Everyone was screaming including me but we eventually made it and found our way out! After a good 3 and a half hours of activities we were so hungry and to say we were tired would be an understatement. We went back to the centre and had dinner at 5pm. I had spaghetti bolognese which wasn't the nicest but I was so hungry I didn't care. I had ice cream for dessert which was so nice. We had time to ourselves until 7pm when we headed on the nightline, which was such a hike to get to as it was up in the mountains. The view from the mountain was so beautiful. We had to get into a single file line and go on a walk in the forest while we were blindfolded. It was a very funny activity. The person walking infront of you had to tell you if there as a tree or whatever coming up. A great laugh was had!! When we got back to the centre everyone went back to their rooms. We all just layed on our beds with the exhaustion. We all wanted chinese as there was a takeaway beside the centre. We had to go in groups to get it as everyone wasnt allowed get it at once. They took so long to make it. We went back and ate it. We heard music coming from upstairs in the centre and realised it was a disco. We went up for a while. Ms leonard was the dj loooooooooolllll:))) After the discp we went to our rooms and put our pj's on. We all binged on food so much, I have never ate that much in ages! Altogether we spent 145 euro on food which was craaazyyy!! We didn't even eat it all. Lights had to be out at 11. We had a great night despite the little sleep we got!!

Day 2: We were awoken at half 7 the next morning with an announcement to get up for breakfast. They also played really loud music to waken us up but it was soooo annoying. We went down for breakfast in our pj's. We had to be out of the room for half 8. We all freshened up and got ready for the day of activities ahead of us. Our room was the biggest mess ever and of course we were the last out of the rooms. When we got down to the sports hall we were told that we would be doing the water activities first. Everyone was not happy because it was the first thing in the morning and the water would be freezing. When we got there we put our wetsuits, helmets and life jackets on. This time we were going to be kayaking. We had to paddle a boat on our own. I was not very good at the start but I got better as I was doing it. It looks a lot easier than it actually is! When we got to the other side of the water we got out of the kayaks and played some games on the beach. After we got the speed boat over to the trampoline in the sea. We played games and jumped around on it for a while. We had to jump of the trampoline into the sea. We all jumped together it was so much fun!! We then had to swim back to the beach. We kayaked back to where we started. We had to bring our kayakes back to the place they belong. We then went in and got changed. I felt so fresh afterwards. It was such a brilliant morning despite the cold water! We headed back to the centre for lunch. We had some free time before our final activity. Everyone raced for the sports hall because that's where the wifi was strongest hahah! It was finally time for our last activity, and it was laser tag the one I was waiting to do the most! We were given army overalls to change into and facepaint to draw on our face. We had to hike up the dreaded mountain again. There were two groups the blue team and the red team. The guns we were given were so cool they almost looked real! We played for about 3 hours. It was brilliant. Im so glad I got to do it as I always wanted to see what it was like. 

It was time to go home when we got back and it was honestly such a fantastic two days. We got a group picture with the whole year before we left. All reviews on the centre were great and all the instructors were so kind. It was a great experienceand I would do anything to do these two days all over again.!!!

                                           Junior cert results AGHHH

On wednesday we got our junior cert results, I had never been so nervous. The wait in the morning was the longest wait of my life, we had to be at the school for 12. I did my tan and nails while i was waiting to try and get my mind of the thought of results. When i got to school we had to line up in our old base classes, everyone was panicking like crazy. When i got my results i was so scared to open them but once i did i realised i was worried over nothing, i was delighted with my results!! I went out for lunch with my family after.

 When i got home i had no time to waste as i had to start getting ready for the night, we all went to the wrights venue in swords. We got a party bus up with everyone which was so fuuun! Everyone was so happy with their results. The disco was on for 5 hours and it was the best 5 hours EVER! We got mcdonalds after and it was life. The bus home didn't get going until about half 1. We were all so exhausted. I only got 2 hours sleep and i had to be up for half 7 the next day!

Everyone looked dead the next morning in school, I had maths first class and i was still asleep, the teachers went easy on us though so it was okay hahah! 

I would do anything to do results night all over again!!!!!
