soo many projects!

When the previous TYs warned me about the amount of work needed to put in to the different projects I didn't really believe them, but i do now! Me and my friend claire had to write up our proposal for the young scientist yesterday.. lets just say it was a little stressful haha. We had to fill in so many details and try make sure the proposal was perfect and convincing lol. Me and aoife are doing our geography project now and its due in like 4 weeks.. its fun though, id rather be doing the projects than the thought of 5th year work.. ew. I feel so sorry for our friend Caitlin who has to do her work in the morning.. hate that! Theres only two of us in the group so we're doing 3 countries each. I'm doing Madagascar atm, its actually really cool:) For the  home-ec project im in a group with jenny, lori and aoife green and we have to create an outfit using a plain pair of jeans and tshirt, harder than it sounds. We're gonna do a green woodland fairy using tutus and leaves and stuff.. should be fun :) Ive another project too in Irish with orla and courtney and we're doing the history in celbridge, like castletown and the workhouse and stuff, actually kind of interesting. Me, aoife and isabelle did a mini religion project about one of the millenium goals on maternal health. We'll probaly get more projects throughout the year too, but for now I think we have enough.. for now anyway.

blog day

Its blog day again in I.T, and I can't really think of much to say :/ Ms. L says that we'll be starting up like a link between schools in Australia, England and France soon, which sounds really cool :) Its lunch time soon and im very hungry.. haha:) We're going to like the launch of Mini-Co on the 28th to meet the head co-ordinator Orla and other schools taking part so that should be fun. Our group keeps jumping from ideas, so hopefully she'll be able to help us out. Todays thursday which are my faaaves, after lunch ive pilates, photography and dancing, such a great start to the weekend:D yaay the bells about to go.. blog again soon.

14th of September..:)

I'd been waiting for the 14th for ages and was really excited when the day came, it was my birthday aswell as results day :) It was really hard to sit through all the classes knowing that our results were probaly waiting for us in the school somewhere. We were in Ms.O'Reillys class when all former 3rd years were called to the hall to get our results. The atmosphere was really tense and I was nervous but excited at the same time. Ms. Smyth handed me the brown envelope and I waited to open it until I got outside. I could hear everyone running around screaming with excitment so I ripped open my envelope.. I rang my mam, delighted with my results:D, especially a B in maths and irish as I was expecting that at all. I was ready to celebrate both the results and my birthday:) Me and my friends got ready in my house before going out to Time for the night, which was loads of fun. I loved all my pressies, especially the best ever umbrella from aoife <3 haha :) I was so tired the day after, and pilates was a real effort:(  I slept well on thursday night ..:)

Carlingford buzz

We got to sit on a doubledecker bus and left at 7 o'clock on monday morning, we were all really tired but excited too :) the journey didnt take too long and when we got there the first thing that we did was Laser in the forest :D it was so fun and we got to wear these army suits!! :) Later that day we did activities in this field place and it was so windy. We did games which helped our  team-work and challenges which were reaally fun. That night we got chinese and it was so delicious,we ate loads of sweets and talked to some of the boys from Drogheda who were staying in Carlingford too. Then we went back to the forest at about 7 o clock for 'Nightline' which had everyone blindfolded in the forest, walking along a rope, it was really hard but fun :)The next day we were up bright and early and we went rockclimbing in the morning, had lunch and then went orienteering which was like a treasure hunt around the mountain. We werent able to do any watersports because of the weather being so bad, but it didnt really affect us :) Afterwards I went to 'Candyford' which was a really cool sweet shop and we headed home at 5 o clock, really tired but happy it went really good :D

my first blog

This is my first ever blog, never done anything like this before! I'm loving TY so far, last week we had pilates, photography and dancing with Ms.O Reilly on thursday, which was really fun but I was tired after pilates, haha. We've gotten some projects so far aswell, like the trip around the world for geography, mini-company, young scientist and one for irish. I don't really mind, they're way better than homework. The classes go by really fast and it's great not to have loads of work to do when you get home. I like my class because I know a few people but theres loads who I've never talked to, which is a good thing :) Im excited for Carlingford and results night next week, which is on the same day as my birthday! Me and Aoife have signed up to do bagpacking in M&S on Sunday which should be fun too. Music in TY is really fun aswell because you get to do loads of fun things!
Saoirse, Class Eriu :)
