September 19 - Hiking Day

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. We got on the small bus that took us to the place where the route began and when we arrived they explained the activity to us and we began to walk, at first it was not very cold and windy but every time you went higher, it became more windy, when we reached the At the top we fell from the terrible air, at the top we had lunch (I don't even know how), and when we finished, we continued, when we got to the bottom we were very tired and we had to wait 10 minutes for the bus to come in a kind of cabin where there was bathrooms and seats, when the bus arrived we returned to Scoil Pol, the excursion lasted a little over an hour and a half so we still had several classes left. When we arrived, we had a business class so I went with Amber since she also had it, in that class they were talking to us about a research project that they had to do in pairs and they showed us a video as an example, at the end of this class, there was recess So all of us Spaniards met again at the canteen and ate our lunch. At the end, we had a Visual Art class (I also went with Amber) and in this we had to make a drawing and then spray graffiti on it and thread it with colored thread, no. I was able to take a photo but I drew a strange flower, and finally, the last class of the day was geography where they were talking about a research project they had to do. When we finished, we stayed at the pitch until they came to pick us up at 5:30. When I got home I took a shower again since since we had been hiking I felt dirty, and then we had dinner. And to end the day we watched the Hunger Games movie in the living room until we went to sleep.


Here are some pictures of this day: 


The wind was insane
