I'm Baaaack!

Long Time, No Blog...

Hello everybody! Sorry for the long wait between post, it's been an ϋber busy few weeks here in TY central!

Lollipop Day, Scifest, Wesley College Choir Competition, new Green Flag, the list goes on and on!

It's been a great few weeks, so exciting! I actually can't believe the amount we've done! :o It's been so much fun, the absolute best time so far in Transition Year! 
On Lollipop Day  we collected loads of money for the very worthy cause of the Oesophageal Cancer Awareness fund.
On the day of Scifest we finally got to showcase the hours of work we've poured into our Science Projects since September! Sadly, though, myself and Orlaith's fitness experiment didn't make it through to either of the two finals! :(
The same day as Scifest, after our presentations we headed off to the big bad world! The choir headed to Wesley College for our choir competition. After all our practice time with Caresse sur l'Ocean from Les Choristes, our moment had arrived! It was an amazing day out, especially the journey home on the disco bus! There was some stiff competition, and we didn't get through to the finals but we came third so we were delighted with ourselves!

Listen to the original song here!

An only yesterday, we raised our fourth green flag here in St. Wolstan's! And as a proud member of the Green Schools Committee, I was delighted, not just because of the pizza afterwards! :P

That's a round up of the latest here in TY-Land! Thanks for reading :)

Tune in after Easter for more news! :) Happy Easter, Slán! 

Doctor, doctor...

I'm officially a Royal...

...College of Surgeons (work experience) student! I spent the whole of last week on a Work Experience course in RCSI, living the life of a med student. On the first day it was a brief introduction to Medicine and what Leaving Cert subjects you need to do to be accepted, etc. But the week only got better! On Tuesday, we went to Beaumont Hospital for the day and were given lectures by surgeons and doctors from the different areas of Medicine about their areas of expertise and we got shown pictures of previous c ases they'd worked on and what they did to help the people they were operating on! On Wednesday, we were in Beaumont again and we got to watch LIVE surgeries!! It was amazing! They were on a live video feed from theatre and we were able to ask the surgeons questions and they kept us updated on what they were doing. It was amazing and has really encouraged me to study medicine after secondsary school... The rest of the week was just as good and we got to look at more surgeries and talk to more doctors about Cardiology, Psychiatry, Orthopaedics, Neurology and Emergency, etc. 

  It was an absolutely amazing week and has got me seriously considering Medicine and RCSI for college. It has helped me to narrow down  my ideas for 5th year options, which we will be choosing over the next few weeks! Eeek.

So long agus Slán :)
