New Goal in Life...

Yes, I say Gaisce funny, get used to it! :P

As the heading would suggest, we started registering for Gaisce this week and Ms. McG is booking our hike so we've been having fun choosing activities which we will complete over the next 26 weeks to earn one of the most prestigious awards teenagers in Ireland can achieve. I'm not really sure if I've to do it though because I did it last year but something got lost in translation so I might have to start all over again! Oh the drama. Ah well, it was a bit of craic at the time, just the stress of finding out if I have to do it is a bit much!

We also have started trying to finalise our second round of Work Experience... I've been sending emails left, right and centre but to no avail so far, but I'm sure I'll get sorted sooner or later!

Also, if you want a pretty good blog to read and keep you entertained, my beloved friend Ciara is keeping a good little record of our interesting TY life. :)

Anywho that's all from me!

Christmas countdown: 25 days, you guys!

You stay classy, Sandiego! ;) Slán!

Typical TY Week :)

Hey-ho Hey-ho It's off to work we go...

Busy week here in Woolies! Projects are all in full flight... We're still ticking away at the mountain of work that is Junk Kouture... Geography... Formula 1 in Schools... Orchestra... Choir.... Work Experience...
So to cheer everyone up and distract them, here's some random Christmas facts:

Ø  The biggest present ever was The Statue of Liberty.
Ø  The most sold Christmas Song is “Do They Know It’s Christmas”
Ø  The world’s biggest Christmas cracker is 181 foot, 11 inch long and 11 foot, 9 inch high and was made in Australia.
Ø  Every year, the people in the town of Gavle, in Sweden build the world’s largest goat out of straw.




31 Days to Christmas!


I hope you all enjoyed that little pick me up!

Bond... Debating... Christmas Carols....



I'll take it shaken, not stirred...

Hello there and welcome to my blog again! I'm sorry I haven't been here in a while... Too busy having fun! :P We've had a busy fortnight here in St. Wolstan's. 

Last week, we went to the Odeon Cinemas in Naas for a Mini Company workshop, but Orla (the woman giving the workshop) ended up going into hospital that morning, so guess what? We got to watch James Bond, Skyfall for free! :D It was amazing! :)

This week Ciara, Aoibhinn, and myself along with Ms. B, entered into an Irish Debating competition with Gael Linn and we were working go dian during the week to perfect our arguments and all the worked payed off as last night when we finally went to the competition we won!!! :D IT was brilliant! We were all extremely excited and can't wait for the next round which should be within the next few weeks.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... 

Aaaaaahhhhhh!! It's nearly Christmas, guys! :D Only 39 days but it feels like it's going to fly!!! Today in orchestra with Ms. M, we started organising which songs we will be playing at this years Carol Service. I'm a little bit Christmas obsessed so this really just fanned the flames of my tacky, twinkly, tinselly addiction! 



Yeah so that's it for today and hopefully things will be back to normal and I'kll be postinbg regularly again from now on! :)


So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersen, Adieu!
