My ty camping trip started off at 9:30 am this marked the start and an ever important part of the trip, In 15 minutes I was going to receive my junior cert results, which was probably the longest 15 minutes of my life. A lot of things built up in my head at this time at one stage I thought I was destined to open that white envelope and find I failed everything. When it was the time we walked up as a year to the LRC to receive our results, all slightly excited but scared too. They called us up alphabetically which meant I was second and didn't need to endure the agonising wait for much longer. When I received my results all fear and confusion went, while I knew I could've done much better I wasn't annoyed my result were average.
Now it was time to pack up and leave to lough dan, where we will be spending, are results night as a year. I was excited but also slightly sad that I was unable to go out for results. We struggled to fit all of our camping essentials in the two buses which deemed not to be enough, tent wise anyway. The bus journey was short and quite boring so as you imagine we were rearing to get off and start our adventure.
We finally arrived at the campsite where we would be spending two nights. The trip started to look worse when ben max and I set up Max's "four-man tent" while injured Daniel sat in his chair and hypocrisies cheerfully. The tent, in fact, was a two-man tent... which didn't work well as all of us were over 6 foot which left us crapped up between are clothes food and cooking equipment which wasn't the best way to start off this camping trip
After we decide to cook our first meal which was pasta and bolognese. It was very good and heightened our expectations once again. We then left for a 6km walk to then prepare us for the 22km the next day. There was rain showers throughout the walk and wasn't the most enjoyable walk apart from the beautiful scenery of lough dan, it was a miserable walk which does not leave me looking forward the walk on Thursday. I arrived back at the camping site muddy cold and wet, then it began to rain once again which made it even better so jumped in the shower until it cleared p. All through the rain was annoying it brought are the year closer together bonded to the fire.
following morning we were going to set off for the big 22km walk which felt much longer than it was but first we made breakfast which was pancakes and a lot of them thanks to Daniels Granny which were really good after breakfast we had ten minutes to get all our stuff in our tents before we went on the walk as we were due showers. To my surprise 5minutes into this 7hour walk it starts lashing which caused the group of us too from into a bundle under the nearby tree, we soon learned that we were not going to be able to keep dry for much on this walk ,suddenly the sun came out while we were, walking into fields full of damp grass and we then go onto a steep rocky part of the walk full of thick gorse which was still better than rain at that stage, We Got on to the main path and the Had a quick break we them Walked to the end and finally got onto a road and continued up. Then took a smaller path down the mountain which left going in a massive circle. It then Begins to rain again and the walk stops being fun anymore and the only thing I'm thinking about is going back to the campsite and having a shower and food but we still are only about half way through it we the continue going through fields but this time they were mostly made of bog which didn't go well with my boots we the had to walk into a river and the rest of the walk was now a sludgy mess but I realised that the 6km walk that we completed the day before was the rest of the walk so yes we just walked in a very unnecessarliy long circle
I was one of the firsts to get back so ran for the shower and then later went for a swim with everyone that night are year was split into two half in the barn and the other half out by the fire but the merged to in the barn as there were constant showers that end off my ty camping trip it was an enjoyable experience but there wasn't a lot for us to do as it was raining and there we weren't allowed to go off swimming whenever we chose which was quite annoying

Kairos communications is a tv studio in n.u.i Maynooth hears people come to learn media studies and digital media it is a third level Learning facility but also has days where second level students come int o learn about tv and how it's made. This is what we did , the live tv studio workshop Hear is a clip explaining what it is |
kairos |
before the trip out to Maynooth, we first prepared is tv show with the help of Mr Carr. We decided that we were going to have six segments the first being a news story featuring Jack Cummings being the interviewer and the two Spanish students Ruben and Lucia being the interviewees,this segment had Ruben acting as a Mexican drug lord who does not speak English which creates a language barrier between the two characters which causes jack to ask for a translator which is played by Lucia. This scene does not come out the way we wanted it to in the final take as Jack did not perform as expected which was disappointing the. After every segment of the show are main presenters Jennifer and Charlotte told the viewer what will be coming up next on the show which first went too the sports presenter jack Cummings whos role was to give a small chat about the sports and comedically stand up while the interview is still on and to the viewers surprise jack is not wearing pants.
Jack stands up as he believes the interview is over and when he realises that the interview is still running it leaves him in a state of embarrassment then came the fashion show which I played the role as a model named "chef Micky" the other models were Sean jake jack paddy all with different outfits that were chosen by Suki, I enjoyed doing this as it was funny and entertaining the second last take was the best out of them all as we performed at are peak hear are some pictures form kairos of a outfits

, really good experience and I would recommend it to other Years to do as you receive a larger understanding of how much work and effort goes into the tv we watch, kairos in a whole was really good experience and I would recommend it to other Years to do as you receive a larger understanding of how much work and efkairos in a whole was really good experience and I would recommend it to other Years to do as you receive a larger understanding of how much work and effort goes into the tv we watch, kairos in a whole was really good experience and I would recommend it to other Years to do as you receive a larger understanding of how much work and effort goes into the tv we watch after the fashion show we went into another story and yet again jack Cummings was presenting I dont think theres anything that jack can't do this time the take was much better and came out perfectly.The interviewee was Sean and aran starting as the "lion" that was hunted by Sean but did not release at the time this took place that in fact, Aran was human.. then came the weather with Lucia which did not go as planned as communication between John and he did not go to plan and also she had trouble reading the text . That finished are tv show, I found the experience to be enjoyable and fun although the whole experience could have been better if we had a different producer due to Micheal taking the whole thing too seriously which made it not a nice experience if you were apart of the tech crew as your job was to listen to someone screaming down your ears instructions and although we told him to go for a more claimed approach he did not listen which was disappointing for all members of the group
kiaros in a whole was really good experience and I would recommend it to other Years to do as you receive a larger understanding on how much work and effort goes into the tv we watch

my trip to dcu
yesterday I went to Dublin City university's (DCU) open day and explored the campus and went to lectures being held that talked about different courses the start of the day began by taking the bus to the campus DCU is situated on the outskirts of north Dublin close to the airport in the town of Ballymun. Ballymun the town itself is dark gloomy and in my opinion miserable even with the new renovation that have been done to the notoriously difficult town although it has come a long way I wouldn't enjoy passing through on the day apart from DCU's surroundings the campus itself is modern and contains brand-new state of the art facilities and also has a nice welcoming atmosphere there is a large diversity of people which adds different feel to the campus as well.
to start off the day I visited the psychology lecture which gave me the understanding that I would not like to do psychology this as the career after I visited the mint course which stands for marketing innovation and technology which helped me rule that out a career path as well as it didn't really click for me and I didn't have a great interest in the subject as I felt that you could learn the same. Qualities that this course give you I a few years work experience in business and research which was disappointing after this lecture was finished I realised that DCU would not be a good option for me as I felt all the teachers were not enthusiastic about their job and I found them quite boring and not interesting which was shame I then made my way over to the engineering campus which I really enjoyed and made me make the decision that I may want to. Per Sue, an engineering course and then later obtain an MBA to thrust my business interest this was the main thing I took from my trip to dcu

my trip to dit
My trip to DIT
The dublin institute of technology (DIT) open day was good learning curve and changed my ideas of what I would like to study in collage and showed me the importance of having a teacher that you like and can work with it also showed me that I would not like to Pursue engineering as I did not find interest in the lector held in dit, I also visited the business lector and found interest in the subject and found the teacher much more interesting this trip has made clearer what I would like to Study when I leave school . DIT as a collage it’s self would not be for me personally as I don’t really like the atmosphere in the collage well I didn’t on the open day. Overall the experience was good as it made my future clearer
