On one hand, there have been weeks where we haven't done much or gone on any trips. during these weeks it feels a little boring as it is hard to motivate yourself in class. sometimes it feels like well if i have nothing to work towards, why work at all?
but there have been things about this year that i have loved. the pressure is off and you get to do things that you wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to do before. if you are in anyway quiet this is a year to volunteer for things and to take charge. it is a year that you'll have life experiences in, like writing and performing your own drama, work experience, even having a blog. Going to town to sell lollies for cancer or to sell holly. Things like this are things you can look back on and say you had a great time.
if you don't really put in your all, and forget about looking bad in front of friends, your ty experience will not be all it has the potential to be. Grab every opportunity - like Gaisce. while sometimes i have wanted to give up and not put in the effort of doing it, i continue because it is something that i'll be able to say i have done, and the trip at the end will be worth it.
You do get more comfortable in transition year. i have become more comfortable with teachers and speaking in class and have made friends that i wouldn't have if i was in fifth year. I have began talking to people that i used to think i wouldn't like and become friends with them.
You don't know what will be thrown at you next when you're in ty but it is worth it. i have had a very eventful year so far, and have become happier in myself and in school.
i would recommend this year for people who are feeling uncomfortable, or want to participate but are too shy. You'll get so many chances to stand up and do something and while it can be tough getting through it - like in mini company - you'll never get the chance do it again.
