Christmas Holidays & Projects vs Test Assessments

Christmas Holidays

During my Christmas Holidays I spent a lot of time with family and family friends, having dinner and going out with them. I got lots of presents and I really liked them all. I watched a lot of TV and Netflix over the break and I got to catch up on my favourite shows. I had a lovely Christmas and I felt really happy being able to relax over the break.
Projects vs Test Assessments

 I prefer projects to tests because I can usually do research on something that interests me and produce the project in the format that I like whereas with a test I have to memorise things that don't always interest me.Tests normally help me to learn more on topics that don't interest me but that I need to know for the Leaving Cert. I did hand all my projects in on time however I found the last two weeks before Christmas to be really stressful and tiring trying to get them all done. I had to stay up late and get up early most days in order to get the projects finished on time, so I was exhausted come my holidays.

Voluntary Service

As part of my school's TY programme you have to do voluntary work. I volunteer at the St. Vincent De Paul charity shop on Saturday mornings.

It's a nice feeling to know that your helping those who are less fortunate than you in your community.

Expectations

I'm really looking forward to relaxing and enjoying Transition year after the stress of 3rd year. I'm hoping that I'm going to make an effort to try new things and to get involved this year as I've heard advice that Transition Year is only a worthwhile experience if you get involved and is a complete waste if you just decide to slack for the year. I'm also hoping to build up my CV this year by completing interesting work experience placements and by taking classes like ECDL. I'm looking forward to going on Trips and to experiencing subjects like Cookery that I haven't been able to do in the past.

Subjects Term 1

I took Geography, Computer Science, Law, Tourism and Spanish as my choice subjects in the first term. Every class lasted for a double class except for Law which was a triple on a Wednesday. -I didn't enjoy Geography because I felt that the class dragged on and I thought learning about development was boring. -I enjoyed computer science class as I learned a lot of useful computer skills and I found the class very relaxing. -My favourite subject was Law as I loved studying different cases, watching interesting documentaries, learning about the courts and learning different law terms. When I leave school I think I would be interested in getting a degree in law. -Although it was interesting learning about some of the Tourism definitions, I didn't enjoy the class. There was so much work to do that meant every class was a rush and there was a lot of theory to learn for the test. -I didn't enjoy Spanish as much as I thought I would because I found the language was quite
