Creative writing

On Monday we had a creative writing workshop in town, it was really good and interesting. When we arrived the girl running the workshop asked for two volunteers, she told them to pretend one of them had a crush on the other ones brother... Then after that we developed an introduction to a story based on what they acted and then we had to finish it off ourselves. I really enjoyed the workshop.

Young scientist

On Friday, all of the tys and second years went to the RDS for the BT young scientist exhibition. There were hundreds of projects there, some of them were very interesting. I really liked the one on criminal motivation. There were also projects from our school in the exhibition, they were also very interesting... One of them was on the news and the radio.
There was also loads of fun stuff to do at the back of the exhibition where lots of different organisations had stands, my favourite was probably the analog devices stand, there were lots of games there, like lifesize operation, a laser room, a balance game and a floor piano. Other stands were also very interesting, at the European union stand I learned how hard it is to use a glovebox and at lots of stands we entered competitions...
It was a great day overall, everyone enjoyed themselves and learned something new :)

BACK TO SCHOOL

Well after a long two weeks of late nights and lie-ins, we're back to school and back into the swing of t.y. life.
A couple of things have changed since we were back, we changed options again, and now I'm in art. I'm really exited for art because I picked it in first year but I never got it and I've always wanted to try it out.
We have also changed Thursday activities, we are now doing Zumba, Massage and Music composition, I cant wait to try them all out on Thursday :)
We're also going out on a trip to he young scientist exhibition on Friday to see some of our own schools projects and we're going to a creative writing workshop for English on monday

the hills are alive

so last week was the big week for everybody involved in the musical, everyones hard work came down to those four performances.
i was invlolved in the wardrobe/costumes for the musical, and on the night i was organizing all of the captains (the main lead) clothes.
It went very well and there was no mess ups with his costumes.
I never got to see any of it because i was backstage most of the time butwe started to watch the dvd in crative writing today and with that and what I've seen in rehearsals it was a pretty amazing performance :).
Im really sad its all over, and i really enjoyed it.

T.y. Life ;)

So it's been a while since I've posted, and lots of things happened since I was gone.
We went to go see Laura (a fellow eriudlian) in the nutcracker valet, she was pretty amazing, I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did.
Today we had a dress up day in school, lots of people dressed up but we didn't have a parade like we usually do :( it was still a good day though, well done to everyone who dressed up, especially fiona caitriona and Brona
We've also been working on our home ec project, we have the fashion show tomorrow :), my groups theme is Cinderella.
There's been lots of project work going on, we presented our geography and history projects, and I'm kinda gkad theyre over because I hate speaking in front of people.
There's also the English drama we're doing, our group is doing a drama based on the songs concrete angel and how to save a life, the main theme of the play is child abuse and we are entering it into a competition in January
And of course the big news this week was the eircom spider award our ty blog won
