"tripping outside the classroom"

Me and Isabelle finally got ahead with our geography project , trip around the world with 24000 euro between us both .We go to two second world countries , two third world and two first world countries.
Were going to Sweden,Russia,China,kenya & tanzania , mexico and chile.

finding flights and hotels is hard, and it kind of makes you want to be actually going to these countries .
We have four weeks to finish...

Last friday , Whoever wanted ,had the chance to go to the "Solheim Cup",ladies golf. It was such a good experience,to see how powerful women are , I  feel they are better golfers!Also my highlight of the day were the crepes they made there. five euro for a soft batter dripping wet with hot chocolate sauce ,melting marshmellows and brown buttons.Did it for me anyway.

MOOSIC!

In music class , we are doing an opera. Its mad, we are changing a scene from friends into a dramatic opera scene. We are doing three.
1."The one where Ross is fine"
2."theres no left falangie on the plane"
3."the one where Ross finds out"
 Ross is in them all because hes such a dramatic character that we decided he would be the best to act out . We are all in groups . Me ,Saoirse and alswynn are in charge of music. We are playing on piano an opera version of  "il be there for you" and of course.. "smelly cat" so that should be intresting. Orla, Courtney, Aoife and Aimee are in charge or costume and set design , so again..should be intresting. Then there are directors for casting and deciding what words we will actually be singing out in opera.
Then who ever is left will be preforming so its all alot of fun.
There will deffinitly have to be pictures or videos of that!

what we do..

After getting our results, they have been forgotten.Not a word has been spoken about them from teachers, students or most importantly my parents. Its great to know its all over.Old news.
In TY classes we actually do ,do some work.In english we read plays and in october we are going to see the play we are reading. In Science we are doing the BT young scientist.I love it. We are almost ready to submit our idea so it finally feels like TY. i always thought of ty as the year for young scientist,because i love science.Me and Emily are doing really well for two people who decided on their idea the day we were writting it up!
In irish and french we practise speaking the langauge so for next year our oral skills will be improved at least.We do all options in rotation , so i have art up till christmas ,then i will change to home ec and then i will eventually change to Tech. I have one option that i will have all year as do the rest. I have Art, so it will never change.Basically i have All art until christmas, then i will have art and home ec and again art and tech. I Love art so this is no problem.
Our music class is sooooo fun. Right now we are doing an opera work shop which is fun.
then we are still doing our pilates , dancing and photography which is pretty fun too , but a couple of weeks in we  are getting tired, and our muscles  are acheing from the pilates , but we might as well take part if we are getting to do classes like this while other years are studying for exams!
Work expo is coming up in november , im off to the DSPCA :) very excited , and to keep us busy until then we have a geography project and an irish one too.
TY's making me tired , but its  so worth it because we are all so active all day with double PEs and all the debates about mini company ideas , which is alot more stressfull than people may assume.To find a product that your whole group is happy with is hard, then we have to prduce it , market it and then the buisness files and stuff, i wont be doing that anyway!

Carlingford :)

Carlingford was so amazing.We arived early on monday morning and went straight into "laser tag".Laser tag is when we are given a laser gun and shut each others LED head bands,when we are hit ,the LED would light up or our gun would make a noise.We were crawling up forests and hiding behing wood.was brilliant. Next we played "crystal maze".We had to play loads of mini games and earn crystals.We crawled trough a pitch black tiny maze, had to get all our group across water,get mines out of the ground (kinda like mine sweeper)and a rope course.It was great.Then it was dinner time ,and then off up to the forest at 8 , to do the night line . (blindfolded trough a forest in the dark).That night we had free time , so we sat in the downstairs common room with the boys school who where also there, and sang and played music.

Next day We went rock climbing and ab-sailing.it was pretty high but really fun and not scary at all.Then we went oriantiering.It was a hike up huge hills for about 3 hours, i didnt really like that one!

Leaving was sad because we were having so much fun ,and we really wanted to get in the water, but the winds were heavy.The Instructors wer great,and so much fun ..i miss them!

WE LOVE YOU "ARLINGFORD"
