This Is Halloween....

Here's Johnny!

Mwahahahahaha!
Mwahahahahaha!
Happy Hallowe'en!

Well today was our Hallowe'en Fancy Dress and everyone made a fantastic effort! We all looked fabulous, if I may say so myself... :)
As TY's, we were given the theme  of Zombies and in-keeping with that theme, I dressed up as a Corpse Bride, wearing my Mammy's lovely wedding dress! Haha! I also had a husband... Orlaith K, but she may have been injured in a small rolling pin accident after our wedding... Nothing to do with me of course! :P
It was a brilliant day, especially for Síocháin as both of the costume winners for our year were from our amazing class. :D Shannon and Zoe, both won, and they both really deserved it! They had brilliant outfits.

Anywho! That's all from me, but here's a song and a picture to keep you entertained! :)


So that's it for today! I may be a-posting over the midterm but if not, Happy Hallowe'en!

2+2=Maths Week!

If you have a load of stools and a few cows how many legs are there, oh and don't forget the milk-maids....

So it's Math's Week... We're all feeling very mathematical...
Every morning we're greeted by a brain-melting puzzzle, designed to mess with our heads before we've even woken up properly! It's an evil trick by teachers to make us think! :P Haha, well it's not quite that bad. They're just asking a lot at 10 past 9!

Apart from perfecting our maths puzzle skills, we've been doing a project on a famous mathematician in our maths class. I chose to do mine on Blaise Pascal, because we had just done Pascal's Triangle in class and he seemed like a pretty cool guy! He's a super famous man especially in the field of geometry, which he taught himself, from the age of 12... I'm older than he was and even with the help of teachers and books, etc., I can't master geometry let alone to the level Pascal did!

Ah well we can't all be that special I suppose... My (as of yet hidden) talents must lie somewhere far away from maths, maybe playing the triangle or something else I do... Haha!

Well anyway! Other than that... Between Mini Company, Junk Kouture and everything else, my imagination is being sucked dry (in a good way!), so that's it for today!

Christmas countdown: 66 days, you guys!

Until next time, stay classy! Slán! :)

See Below...

73 Days People!



I started putting up Christmas decorations in Work Experience, so my obsession has intensified....

Fourth Friday... :O



Hello and Welcome to the Fourth Friday of TY :)

Friday, the 12th of October: A.K.A. the fourth Friday of this Transition Year! It's been a brilliant month so far but it's gone so fast!! :( It's unbelievable how much we've done and just how close we've gotten.... I had never really talked to some people in my class before and now I could chat to any of them, no bother! :P 

We've been watching a movie in Spanish for the past two weeks and it's really good! It's called "El Bola" and it's quite a serious and dramatic film with a few fairly scary scenes and a bit of child abuse. :/ It sounds really weird but it's really well-made and is kind of like a thriller! We've stopped at an unbelievable cliff-hanger, but sadly Ms. M, won't let us watch any more until next week. :'(

Sin é don Inniú! Slán :)

What time is it Mr. Wolf...?

Yet another day in Transition Year...

Hey there! Today I will be diving into the great fun that is my Technology project, among others! :) I have started making a clock in technology class out of purple plastic. I'm the only one in the class with the deeply coveted purple, because I'm special! :P Really it's because as soon as the plastic choices were on the table I dove for it! :O But that's not the point, the point is the clock.... We all had to draw the measurements for our clock two weeks ago in our Technology class with Mr. W, we then started sawing and filing away the excess plastic to get the right shape. I now have the pentagon and semicircle shape of the clock and just have to put in the actual hands and "clock" part of it. I'm extremely proud of my little purple baby, and it's possibly a little bit sad (so I've been told). But I felt that my little clock had to be shared with the rest of the world and that's what I've done with this blog! I hope you all enjoyed it! :D

CHRISTMAS UPDATE: 74 days everybody, get shopping!


Well that's it dear readers... Slán!

(p.s. the title is purple in honour of my clock... )

Friendship Week :)

Heeeey Yaaaaa!

Hello All! Welcome to another edition of my blog! It's Friendship Week here in St. Wolstan's and today is the last day of it and the most loved day... Funwalk!
Each year has a different colour to dress up as and us TYs are yellow. Here in Síocháin we've decided to each be a block of Lego! We're dancing to Hey Ya by Outkast. It's quite the dance, if I may say so myself! :P I slept in this morning and almost didn't make it to school on time, all because I was up last night painting my beautiful Lego box that I shall be a-wearing today :D
We may look a bit simple all dressed up in huge boxes doing a mad dance from Just Dance but we're having great craic which is the main thing! ;) 
We'll be performing our dance and then heading off to indicate the route that all the other years will follow. So we'll probably miss some of the other class' performances :'( But  suppose we'll see photos and videos anyway! That might make up for it! :P

81 days to Christmas!

 That's all for now and I'll talk about the walk later! Slán! :)
