Santry & Gaisce Hike

This week was Santry West Leinster Athletic Championships. I was meant to go on tuesday to compete in javelin but i was sick. I went on Thursday however to do high jump, i think I came 6th/7th but im not sure. At the end of the competition our school won best girls school based on points earned by placing in the top 6 in an event. Its the 8th year in a row that we have won this award.

Today at 2pm about 35 of us are going on our overnight Gaisce ( the Presidents Award) Trip to earn our bronze medals. We had to 13 weeks of a physical, skill and community service activity and another 13 weeks of one of the activities. Our hike is a 40km hike in the Wicklow Mts and we're also going to zip lining aswell.

Driving time

So this is then start of our last term of TY. The thought of 5th year is just terrifying . Anyway on Tuesday we went driving in the Leinster Driving Campus in Maynooth. First we were split into two groups and my group started by learning driving theory. We also got to wear drunk goggles and try put two cones on top of each other. For some reason the goggles made everyone's eyes really big. Then we got to actually drive the cars. It was way easier than I thought, we had to drive out on a straight of road outside the main campus and other non learner cars were there aswell which was slightly nerve racking though.

See ya next week
