Geography Project, yes another one (:

well I just finished another geography project, we had to do a 'round the world trip' and a booklet on a disease in one country we visted. Now we had to do a 'google map on our round the world trip' it was actually fun because ive never made a map before!

I had to pin point every place I went to and write a little bit about it , so the countrys I went to were..
India
Saudi Arabia
Hong Kong
Italy
Germany
Dubai

It was fun learning about new countrys because i hadn't been to most of them before but I wanted to learn new things about them! I defiantly did that, after doing the project I would love to actually go on a round the world trip when I finish school.
Im pretty sure that I have that on my 'to-do' list :)

heres the link for my map, check it out ;)

Why woman are great, ask INTEL!

Hey all,
On thursday intel came into us to talk about their company and all their female engineers. They were saying that most of their best engineers are girls! They were encouraging us to become part of the intel experience :) they let us know what they did in their fabulous company and how everything worked and that they play a big part in our world of technology!
So anyways I really enjoyed listening to all the great things intel had to say to us, and I loved hearing about some of the workers experience in the company. It was so intresting!

and I got a free stress ball! woo
cyaa later

Movie time!

On monday we missed our last classes of the day because we were watching sometimes in april. Its a movie about the hutu's and the tutsis, they were fighting in 1994 , the hutu's were after the tutsis because they thought they were responsible for killing their president! even though they lived in the same country they were fighting :/ its awful to think that went on only a short while ago! men were literally killing people straight out, women and children were being tortured and shot!
it was very grusum, but it was defiantly something we needed to watch to be aware of what happened in rewonda in 1994!
Everyone was upset after watching it, it had an impact on all of us.
Atleast we all know what happened now, we can support peace for the country too!

Really enjoyed learning about it :)

BRAVE FORCE

well yesterday we went down to meath (puddenhill) to do brave force! it was an army assault course but it was also a race. Nobody really cared that it was a race everyone just wanted to do it to see how they got on! It was defiantly a great experience, and great exercise!

We had to do things like ...
go through deep water up to our chests
RUN
crawl through muck
climb massive obstacles
walk over tires
jump over hay bayles!
Swim through a forest of water and bushes

Basically it was MAD! but amazing fun :') actually loved it, but hated the cold (the freeezing cold) and getting changed after was horrible, but apar from that it was quite the banter :D

would defiantly do it again :)

Obstacles and Racing.. oh

Okay so tomorrow were going to a race, nearly all of TY's. Its in meath and its an inter-schools race. We are going to be running through, basically rivers, bogs (up to our waist), and big ropes and obstacles we need to cross while racing! Ahhh! I'm pretty scared espcailly when you look at the pictures on the website. hopefully it will be fun though so im also very excited :D we have to wear the oldest clothes we have which isnt a good sign, and apparently we might be loosing shoes and all! so good luck to me...

Boom Boom Boooom!

Last tuesday instead of the normal very hard work we get up to usually, we had a drumming day :D
basically we spent the day learning how to play the jemba drums! wooo, it was actually so fun. The man who did it with us was called Dave he was a great teacher, he had amazing rythm :O
anyway he thought us a few tunes on the drum. which was great fun because we all felt all musical able to wack out a beat!
The school was bouncing with our beat..
anyway I really enjoyed learing how to play the jemba drums! Its defiantly an experience ill take away with me :') my hands were pretty sore though! But now atleast I know a few rythms and things to take away with me. My favourite part is when we all drummed together creating such a cool song all on different instruments each!

Loved it !

Back to Work.. well TY work

Most people would hate being back in school, but the joys of Ty have put me in a good mood :) Work Experience was great! I learned so much and I really got valuble life experience, I was in UPC in dublin. Everyone was so friendly and helped me with everything, I did some work for the company and then they took me to the fun side of the company..the marketing side :D they showed me how they made all the upc adds with craig doyle, and they showed me their radio adds and where they got the ideas for them and all! it was so interesting :D I loved work experience, but i am glad to be back in school and enjoy the rest of TY <3

Now when I got past the gettting up on monday morning I actually had a pretty good week, monday was grand. Tuesday we had a percussion workshop!  That was so much fun , the man who did it with us was soo good on drums, he studied percussion in Africa. He had amazing rythm and really got us all excited to play some drums :D we actually had a pretty good beat going by the end of it ! yaay im a drummer :D 
Oh thank you TY for all these amazing experiences :') that sounds pretty cheesy or whatever but I was just thinking if I never did TY I would of never got to do some of the things that weve done in TY.. Ive learned so much (: ahh the joys of it all :D
Later on were going down to a TY work shop, and im not just happy about that because were missing maths..no no no :) I think it'll be fun.
Hopefully!

Well thats pretty much all thats going on atm, oh were doing an irish play, were performing it for all ty's lets hope its good!
