So last week , my class got to go to a creative writing talk in "Fighting Words" Dublin.
Isabelle and Catriona had to go up in front of us all and say anything that came to their heads , about Isabelle's little brother!
As they talked a man typed everything and then we made it into a story. We wrote an opening passage and they printed it off for us and we had to try finish it. Al tough not many people would read theirs out, everyone did a good job, and it was a nice trip away from school :)
On Tuesday we went up to Mullingar to preform our very own drama, for an audience that included most of Fodla ( the other TY class) and our English teachers. It was SO much fun . We really experienced how it is to be conducting our own drama and calling all the shots, and now we are all awaiting the results for who got into the next competition!
We were given the power of stage , lighting ,and sound all to ourselves, so it really was down to us. The only thing we found hard to keep up with during our performance , was talking loud enough to fill all the audience, as we had no microphones!! Trying to act said , while screaming ,really didn't show the emotion we were hoping for but we tried our best to get a good mix.
Im not to sure who , if any , got in from our school , but i think we all did really super :) We had alot of tear-jerking moments! So best of luck TYs, we all tried our best :)

photos..
Just came in from our "photoshoot" for our class Eriu. We get photos of our faces put up on the wall in school , for the whole school to see. Some girls care, personally i find it hilarious! People feel presured to look so nice its so funny!
Tomorrow , we are going to the Young Scientist to see all the girls from our school in it and wish them luck , as they find out the results of all thier hard work on friday evening.
the YS is a great fun , because some of the projects , including the ones from the girls in our school are so interesting , that even people who dont like science ( shock, who couldnt love science) enjoy them selves.
From the robot that solve srubix cubes to the green screen that makes you look like your on RTE news , its such a good day out , and an even better FOUR DAYS for all the girls there from Wednesday!
Today we started working on the florence ( gasps) hit " Shake it out" . Im playing piano , saoirses on the flute , and Georgias playing guitar from our class , its sounding good already and we have only played it today!
I think Banba , another TY class are singing it with us for the music night, because TYs are asked to get involved in alot and we dont mind.
Tys were also given a talk on Subject choices in careers ,so we are all finally believing that , unfortunitly there is life after TY and that is 5th year. Honestly doesnt bother me, its a chance to get on with our senior cycle and im happy with my choices that I am going to make.
Still TY has form our personalities, so i will miss it , when its over ,NOT FOR A LONG LONG TIME!

Back To School.
yes , we are back to school, but does it bother me? for the first time in a long time, no it doesnt bother me at all.
I guess it because TY is actually fun , and I dont dread it every morning! Yes I wish I could sleep in every morning, but now the weekends are back to and exciting few days , instead of another day in the holiday.
I miss holidays ALOT! but 2012 is exciting! All the TYs moved option class today. Which is basically if we were doing art, we moved to home ec, if you did home ec you moved to tech, so on. I really like the idea of moving classes , because it lets us see what we are interested in , that we may nto have none.
Another work experience for another year, i have placements in three places, just to pick on is the hard part! Im so excited to have another week of WE coming up , Because i enjoyed the last one so much , that I am volunteering in the DSPCA this summer:)
