DSPCA ..I miss you.

So for my work experience i went to the DSPCA.it was incredible.I miss it so much and my minds made up , thats what i will do when im older for sure!
The work they do is incredible and they dont even get funding from the government! they need 2 million euro each year to run the shelter and the get by , by fundraising but never reach the total mark.The money is only spent of food and supplies for each and every type of animal in the shelter.Cats ,dogs ,donkeys,pigs,peacocks,horses,ferrets,snakes and every other animal that was cruely treated or abandoned.
They will never say no to an animal in need of a home but right now they dont have money anymore.Personaly I think everyone should be donating to them.
The work experience programme is only for animals lovers who just want to spend time with animals.Dont go if you "just got" or where"offered" a place , unless you love animals, because i can say that you will not enjoy yourself if your not in it passionitly.
I on the other hand put my heart into the week and have agreed to volunteer in summer when i reach 16 :)
Im acctually really excited to be back there! Of course ,Naturally i got attached to every animal there, but I realised when leaving they are alot happier than animals out there alone in a cold place.
Anyways take trips there, they are open to schools,and everything else and if you are intrested in a dog, contact them and ask for "TAYLOR" my personal fav.Shes a cute boxer dog and it broke my heart leaving her.
I had a great time , and will deffinitly be going back!

"Misery" ( book name, thats all..)

okay so for english our  teacher asked us to blog about a book we read that we found good.
I read "Misery" by the great horror writer Steven King.
Its not for the faint hearted , because there are some  parts quite gruesome, but its a book you wont want to put down, or read in a dark place..
Basically A great writer called  Paul Sheldon gets in a car accident and wakes up in a strange womans house called Annie Wilkes.
Annie loves a group of books paul wrote about a woman called Misery , but when annie finds a manuscript in pauls bag , of his new book, which kills off Misery ,shes not happy.
Oh, and she also has a bad backround of murders and other crimes, so being in her house isnt great.
Paul learns over the time hes there to do as she says , or she will punish him...Alot.
Read it for your self , its a great book , but some of her punishments can get out of hand ( e.g "Hobbling" him when he tries to get away.
I love pauls caracter. Being paralized from the waist down , in the home of a crazy woman , he still doesnt take anything bad she says , even though he knows he will pay for it, he sticks up for himself as she compares him to a "trapped rat".
The book is written very well. The horror drags on , up to a battle between them both at the end that you wont see coming! Steven king has great detail and imagary in the book , that horribly makes you feel like your there.
Over time the book progresses into more horror and gruesome events , which keep readers ( like myself) glued to the pages to see will Paul survive? Will he kill annie even though he is powerless in a wheelchair?
The ending was Horribly amazing. Not a ending I had waited all the (aprox 400 pages) for , it was even better than what you begin to think as Annie takes charge of helpless paul , who just wants to get out of this cold shack up in the mountains , that he is sharing with a Crazy crazy woman.
Give it a read for yourself if your like me and love a bit of a scare when you reading :)

Back to school...WORK EXPERIENCE!

Were back to school two days now, and usually id be slightly bored ,or "under the weather" but not this time . We have a week to look forward too, our work experience.

Im going to the DSPCA and im so excited. Its so good for me to have gotten into a place that is related to the type of work I want to be involved in when im older:)

 Organsing  work isnt easy .We have contacted, emailed, & called so many places to get this far ( one out of two weeks needed!).We have to have certain things that they want us to have.Like for me i need an anti tetnus shot to protect me from dog bites etc.Luckily I had it done but i still need proof! thats going to be hard to find..

You need school insurance letters, written confirmation that they actually do have a place for you ,so on.At least I know that next week is sorted, now i just need to worry about the second week!

"Running Around Like A Paycock!"

Yesterday ,The tired Tys got on a bus and headed into town, at about five minutes past nine in the morning.
First we went to a WB.Yeats exhibtion in the Library.It was so intresting to see all of his school reports and his actual writing and books.Then we headed to a Museum where we saw Bog bodies and Alot of intresting things about celtic ireland and Ancient Egypt!
Then we ran around having lunch on grafton street, which was a great 45 minutes , i must say.
Then we all headed off to see " Juno and the Paycock". We read this play in school but seeing it on stage was totally different.I didnt understand Johnnys character until we saw him on stage...
It was a great experience to see it on stage in the Abbey Theatre, and I dont think any TY group have done it?
It was great fun ,and i cant wait for our next TY outing :)

And tuesday rolls on.

Tuesday is the  day of the week ,were you feel happy to have overcome Monday Blues, but knowing there are 3 days left in school.In TY each day is certainly different and tuesday I feel is a good day for Eriú.Istart with double art, and it goes on into geography,IT ( which is always fun).
Im almost finished my part of the geography project and  its such a weight lifted of my shoulders! It feels really good to have done the work we are actually given in TY,really well.
Also ,now that we have the time , and im keeping up with my projects ive started hockey and Circuit training, ,and with my music outside of school , Im always kept busy.
Tomorrow ,we are going into Town for a Yeats exhbition, to see the bog bodies,and to go see "juno and the paycock" in the abbey theatre.
Should be really good :)

Blog Action Day..Food,Nom.

So for Blog Action day 2011, The topic is food. Something alot of us take for granted.When we think "food" we imagine heading to the kitchen and making up something , or not being able to choose from all the chocolates and crisps in your presses.For other people in the world, this is not the case , and today we are given the time to learn  ourselves and teach each other about the struggle some countries have ,just for the smallest bite of food.


For example i looked into Africa.
Africa is a very hot country because is straddles the equator. It also passes numerous climate areas .Imagine trying to grow crops there?imagine watching them fail?With a huge population of 1,022,234,000 , there are so many people depending on crops.Another way they get food is trough cattle and sheep.If you cant feed your cattle ,they will die of starvation,and therefore cannot feed you. Imagine watching your sources of food die?Keeping in mind this is only in some parts of Africa.Still, It opens eyes, about the struggle of food for some people.
When I get home from being out or at school , my mam asks me what i want for dinner.I pause because I can choose,there is so much to choose from.Children in poorer areas,come home and dont have anything.Their parents cannot give them anything,because there is nothing to give.
In the Asian, African and Latin American countries, well over 500 million people are living in what the World Bank has called "absolute poverty".Every year 15 million children die of hunger.
Thats alot.

One in twelve people worldwide is malnourished, including 160 million children under the age of 5. -United Nations Food and Agriculture.

About 183 million children weigh less than they should for their age.

And lastly ..Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger.
When i looked at these facts, I was shocked..and felt bad. I Never Knew and I think that not many of my friends did either.
When we go into the kitchen and see that our brand of cereal or chocolate isnt there,I think we will think twice about complaining. At least its there, at least it was easy to get ,and you will get your 3 meals a day,and be satisfied.
i only looked into Africa.Many other courtries suffer from this too.I hope my blog has opened your eyes ,and helped you understand how important food is, and not to take it for granted ,as that is the message i wanted to get across in my blog after looking into Africa and its starving people.
