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!

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 :)
