Every time I walked to Classics this year I had the song "Classic" by MKTO blasting on repeat in my brain. I am no longer considering Leaving Cert Classics because of this song.

We learned all about Greek and Roman Philosophers in Classics this year. I felt this to be very useful in figuring out my own personal philosophy and helped to come to terms with myself. I found Seneca particularly insightful, so I've linked his Wikipedia page.

A good quote:

“Often a very old man has no other proof of his long life than his age.”
- Seneca the Younger

Another aspect of the course was Greek and Roman history. This was extremely interesting and honestly I'm just writing this to fill the column the course was fun but I don't have anything to say about it worth writing down.

I'd like to dedicate this post to www.spanishdict.com, the only reason I made it through TY Spanish. Their translation facilities are top notch, and it is very usable not only as a dictionary but also as a Google Translate-esque all in one essay converter.

The world's most popular Spanish translation website. Over 1 million words and phrases. Free. Easy. Accurate.

In Spanish we had to do yet again another Autobiography. Now, I'm not really a fan of writing these things but I got it done in the end and none of it was Google Translated so that's a win...

In Home Ec we did a PowerPoint on a dietary condition. Sam and I chose Coeliac disease, and we killed it. Don't worry these slides are gluten-free.

When Camilo and Tom didn't get us kicked out of the kitchen, the Home Ec class was busy making tasty (but mostly inedible) food to eat.

Pictured is four hungry men waiting very patiently by the oven for their brownies to finish baking.

Sam and I made a Trebuchet in Physics and I think that says enough about the subject.

Engineering was one of my favourite subjects of the year. Here we honed our SOLIDWORKS skills and learned much about architecture, studying reknowned Architect Zaha Hadid and creating a video presentatio on one of her works.  Aaron and I chose the Heydar Aliyev Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan.  Our video is attached below.

Oh my God this model took ages to complete. Anyone well versed in SOLIDWORKS or most other CAD software will understand the pain that curves like those will put you through. Looks good as a final product though, worth the struggle.

I really felt that my Irish class was the most productive class I partook in all year. We improved our oral and written Irish, while also diving into the deep history and heritage attached to such an old language.  A fun and useful class, 10/10.

I mbliana scríobhamar léirmheas ar ghearrscannán sar-mhaith.  Clare sa Spéir is ainm dó, agus bhí sé as Gaeilge.

Nah just kidding I'll write in English.  This year we wrote a review for a very good short movie.  It was called Clare sa Spéir, and it was in Irish.

# data[].attributes.body
We completed a fair amount of Irish oral work this year, focusing mainly on two assignments: a debate and a speech about the media. It was great to improve my speaking and help gain confidence in irish out loud.

We also made projects on our last names in Irish for TY, focusing on its meaning and history.

I feel the most important Maths this year were the countless games of Countdown we played.  I believe that there is a clearly visible improvement of my ability to combine five small numbers and one large to make a three-digit number from the start of the year to the end.  No doubt that this will help me in the years to come.
(Honestly I love countdown so much it's amazing)

We did some Maths work in TY, mainly on Trigonometry and Matrices. While this was interesting, I spent most of my time studying for my A Level maths exams, which I have included in extracurriculars.

In our English class, we spent the first half of 4th year working on an Autobiography.  We were tasked with creating 32 pieces of a minimum A4 page each.  I found this assignment quite challenging to get through.  Attached is a sample piece of mine.  This autobiography is chock full of my feelings and opinions, including my distaste for the project itself.

With Mr Finucane we were tasked with creating a comedy sketch to be recorded.  We were given one day to plan, followed by around 20 minutes to film.  Within these time constraints, we produced this wonderful piece of mediocre - I mean amazing - comedy.

In Economics class we were tasked with creating an economic analysis of a country or company. I decided to do mine on Amazon.com Inc.
