Getting Very Busy!!!

Hello again!
We are all getting extremely busy with our projects now! We recently did a religion project about the millennium goals. My friend Elaina and I worked as a team and presented it today. The millennium goal we chose was 'Child Mortality'. We told the class about how one billion children in the world live in poverty, and how every year, six million children die from hunger. That's two million  more than than the entire population of Ireland!
We are also busy with mini-company. Our mini company is inspired by these special eye shadows that you stick on your eyes and simply peel off. Hopefully it will be a hit! Tomorrow we are going to a workshop where professionals will give us tips and advice on how to make our mini company a success. I'm sure it'll be very interesting :)
Before I wrap this up, here's a fun fact- the longest word you can type using one line of a keyboard is 'typewriter'. Go on, give it a go!

Thanks for reading!! :D

Projects, Projects and More Projects!!!

I am already on my 4th week of TY . The time has really flown by and I have  loved every minute of it! At the moment, we are overwhelmed with projects, including mini company and young scientist projects. Let me tell you, it won't be easy! Each project we are given is challenging in different ways but they will be a great achievement in the end :)
Another aspect of Transition Year that I'm really looking forward to is our week of work experience in November and in March. It should be really good for us as it will give us a taster of what the real working world is like. Plus, I've always wanted to work with children and I'm getting that opportunity in a primary school and a creche :D It will be great fun!

Bye For Now (: x

Junior Cert Results Day! :)

Yesterday was our Junior Cert results day! I don't think I've ever been more nervous! We got our results at around one o'clock, so we had to do our other classes as usual before hand, which wasn't easy because i couldn't concentrate! :P Then we were finally called down to receive the results. My heart was in my mouth as I was handed that envelope. But when i saw my results I was delighted! I did really well and was very happy. I got 4 A's :)
When i got home my parents were over the moon :) That night my friend and i went off to a disco which everyone was going to. It was great, the music was fantastic and it was an awesome day over all :D

Bye Bye Now! x

Carlingford Woooo!!!

On Monday, we arrived in Carlingford. The wind was overwhelming and i was almost knocked off my feet! We were brought into the adventure centre and  separated into groups, then we went off to do team building exercises which were really fun and also a bit difficult! It was a great achievement when we completed the tasks though. After, we had lunch and went off to laser tag. That was so much craic! We dressed up like we were in the army and had guns. It was very realistic. That night there was great atmosphere in the centre. There was another school there so we all made loads of new friends.
The next day, after breakfast, we went orienteering in the mountains. It took so long and we got really lost! We finished eventually but with a lot of team effort! After lunch that day we did rock climbing and ab sailing. This was my favourite activity as it really forced me to step outside my comfort zone and try something i wouldn't normally do. It was terrifying but i did it!
Then it was time to go home. I left Carlingford with a whole new insight into myself and my classmates. It really was a great trip.

Bye! :)

1st Week of TY :)

The first week of TY is nearly over!! It has been such a buzz. On Tuesday we did Social Development for the whole day. It was so interesting the way we were put into groups of our personalities. I was a mediator, which i don't understand 'cause I'm not THAT calm! It was still great craic. Today we did photography, pilates and dancing. My legs are so sore! Its been a really good start to TY, looking forward to Carlingford next week. Woooo!!!! I LOVE TY. <3
