UCD

On Thursday, I went to Dublin to visit UCD (University of Dublin) with my class. The campus is the biggest in Ireland and has the only veterinary course in Ireland as well. Before we went on the trip, our teacher asked us to look through the website and see what interests us and what would be a good future course for us to take. I know what I'm going to do with my life just as much as I know how to properly play the bag pipes. So I didn't even know where to start, however I decided to look in the Arts division and see what it offers. I didn't see really anything that jumped out at me however I did see a couple that i had interest in which were English with Film, Spanish, and English with Drama. I felt that they were very basic choices so it might be a gate way into various careers, seeing as I have no clue what I'm going to do.  So when we arrived, we had a brief introduction about the school and then a student Ambassador took us around the campus. The college was really big and there was a lot of sculptures around and a lot of the buildings were painted bright colors which made it really appealing. The school had an olympic swimming pool, a gym, a radio stain, two newspapers, a 3D movie theater, several restaurants, super markets, pharmacies, cafes, and much more. I really enjoyed the school and actually consider going there when I'm older!
I also wanted to mention that I got invited to my friend Naimh's birthday dinner on friday and had a blast. I'm really happy that I found a good group of friends to hang out with and I can also visit them when I visit ever 2 years or so!
