English Trip.

For our English Trip our whole year went on the bus to town, we got off on Kildare street and Class Lagarde went to the WW1 memorial museum in The National Library while Class Merkel went to The W.B.Yeats Museum in The national Library also.  We each had an hour to look around and read the writing on the boards and listen to videos etc. The receptionist at the WW1 museum gave us an intro into the museum which was very helpful.


After the WW1 museum our class went up to the W.B.Yeats museum as we were standing outside waiting for our teachers we were kindly asked to move as there was a vip coming.  So we went inside where we met up with the other class who were very excited to say the president was coming.  I was very excited but when he came he just walked past us.  After he went through class Lagarde continued on to our tour through the museum.

After the museum we left to stand outside until we were all together, then we heard the president was leaving so I got my phone ready to take a picture of him because I thought he would be too busy to stop and take a photo but he did and they asked for my phone and he stood right beside me, the photo was taken on my phone first then on another girls phone since i have the worst luck in the world my photo was blurry and in the second i was pushed out of the way because everyone wanted to try fit in the photo.

After this we went for lunch in Eddie Rockets. Aoife, Eilis, Claire, Susan and I walked all the way to stephens green to get it but it turned out to be a take-away only so we decided to find another one and so we did and it was delicious.  While we were waiting for everyone to come back from their lunch we were watching a band who were busking called fitzafrenic, we were dancing and singing and having a gret time just enjoying the wonderful sunny day.  After this we went back to where we saw the President and we went for a look around in the national museum of history.  It was great , Shortly after we departed to go home. It was an eventful day.

Work Experience

I am doing my work experience in Cullen and O'Beirne solicitors in Dublin, I was very excited my first time as my dream job is to do something in law.  I was so nervous before I went in I was sitting on the bus and my stomach was doing somersaults, I had no idea what to expect.  I went into the Capel building at 9 a.m on Wednesday the 3rd of November and went to use the elevator which i realized was for employees only, i had no idea what to do so i went up to reception and told them why i was here and the woman was very helpfully and sent em straight up.  I didn't know what my employer looked like so I was scared I would embarrass myself and call someone by the wrong name but they were all very nice and lovely to talk to.  ever since then work experience has been a blast, every Day I've been filing and sorting mail and photocopying etc. and I get to go for a lovely lunch in McDonald's, I don't like getting up extra early but I suppose its worth it to have a good day at work experience.
