September 13 - Ballyhass Lakes Day

 This day we woke up as usual, but all the TY students had an excursion to an adventure and water park called Ballyhass, I dressed and had breakfast and then we left around 8.30, when we arrived at Scoil Pol a bus picked us up and He took us to the park. When we were there they told us to form groups of 4 and then get together with more people, we did all kinds of activities, zip lines, cliff climbing and we also had fun in the water park.

Then we returned a little before school departure time and I went home.

When I got home I took a shower and little else.

I went to sleep early because I was very tired.


I don't have any photo of the adventure park because we coudn't use our phones, but here are some internet photos to let you know how the park was:

This is what we did in the zipline.

Since it was my first day there, they didn't have much prepared for me. , so I had a bowl of typical cereals from there for breakfast, around 8:35 we left the house and Liz took us to Scoil Pol by car, there they drive very fast and the towns were not very far away, so it took us around 5 minutes, it had been a long time. It's hot for Ireland, but we had to wear dark, long-sleeved clothes to school. Upon arrival, Liz parked in a special parking lot for teachers, since she works at Scoil Pol, and we went down a hill and some stairs to the institute.

On this day, we went to school as normal, I got up at 7:30, I took a shower and dressed in bad clothes since we were going to get dirty while hiking and I went to have breakfast, when we finished, we went to school, the first three hours we could do different activities such as self-defense activities, swimming, cooking or go on an excursion to a mountain in Ardpatrick (where I lived) to go hiking, many of the students from Spain decided to stay at school doing self-defense activities but Naroa, Amber, Marina and I, among others, decided to immerse ourselves in the experience of going hiking, since Dillon, who is from that town, told me that it was very windy in the high mountains where we were going to hike, So we wanted to go.
