A Busy Week

This week has been very busy, we got our Junior Cert results on Wednesday and we went to visit Castletown House on Thursday!
On Wednesday I was really nervous because I really didn't know what to expect when I got my results. We came into school at 12 o'clock which was good because I got to stay in bed for an extra hour and a half! When I was given the envelope with my results in it I was really scared to actually open it but when I did I was so relieved to find that I actually did really well, I was delighted! All my hard work in third year had paid off and I couldn't wait to celebrate.
At half one on Thursday we got a bus to Casteltown House, I was happy to go there because I was really tired from Wednesday night and we got time off from school work. We got a tour around the house, which was really interesting because the house was built in the 1700's, I saw a few of the rooms including the stables, the entrance hall, the dining room, the green silk room, the red silk room, the print room and the entertaining room. I really enjoyed the trip to Castletown House, we got to learn about the history of the Connolly family and Celbridge.
