Introduction

My name is Lucy and I've just begun Transition Year. My new base class is called McAuley. My three main hobbies are music, sport and cooking/baking. I play the violin and study music theory. I take lessons at my music school and am a member of an orchestra. I love listening to many different genres of music and going to concerts. I like many different sports but my favourites are soccer, rugby and GAA. I support Crystal Palace, Dublin and Ireland and love going to matches when I can. I enjoy playing camogie and going for cycles. Finally I enjoy cooking/baking because I find it relaxing and fun trying to make new things.

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.

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
