Quote Of The Day ;)

When I was 5 years old, my mom told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I
wrote down “happy”. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment. I told
them they didn’t understand life.” – John Lennon

The road gets a little less rocky ;)

Back again with more updates on my year in ty :)
Things seem to be going a bit better this week in general, I now have a supplier/manufacturer for mini company, as I've probably already mentioned :) We have a mini company workshop coming up which should be fun ;o  
It was my birthday two days ago so I'm still in a very good mood. I've also gotten all my flights booked for geography around the world in 360 days trip :D So I'm not as stressed anymore as you can tell :) I think I've eventually settled into ty. 
The Fun walk is coming up next week :) As part of our friendship week we walk around celbridge class by class in fancy dress. Each year is given a colour, this year tys are Yellow :) So we've decided to dress up as bob the builder, that's all Im saying as the rest of our plans are secret :L
Lastly Ive finally finished developing my idea for the young scientist :) Planning on pressing the 'submit' button this Friday if all goes well :P
Well that's all for now, Lateeer :) :L

First Week In T.Y ;o

After three months of just about managing to drag myself out of bed at twelve in the afternoon getting back into the routine of waking at seven and being ready for a ten past eight, on the dot (more or less) departure, was to say the least challanging :L 
The first day of Ty was the same as any other first day back. By that I mean a frenzie of organising school bags, digging out uniforms and buying all neccassairy stationary on the way to school.
Coming in those double doors was as familiar as if I hadn't just had a three month holiday :D Right now the buzz of meeting up with all my friends has suppressed the revelation that The Holidays Are Over ):

Another Week In T.Y :)

Back again,
 With another account of my t.y. week :) Week 4 ;)
So far this week we haven't been on any outings. But that doesn't mean we haven't had fun :P We've been working on our religion posters, cracking on with our mini company ideas, taking geography tests on the counties of Ireland and playing some very intense games of bench ball in p.e. (: So you could say although it's only Wednesday we've had a pretty good half week.
We've had bits of homework here and there ,but nothing major (:
The only thing right now that's worrying me is finding someone to manufacture my mini company product. Out of eight possibles, three have already said they can't help us :/ But fingers crossed we'll be more successful with the other five:D

We've also been working on our entries fro the bt young scientist exhibition. My group are doing a project based on make-up & how wearing waterproof make-up effects your skin. So even if our application doesn't get accepted we'll still have found out some useful information.

Another event looming in the near future is work experience week number one:/ Fortunately for once I have something planned and I'm spending the first week in 'Trocaire' :D It should be a really valuable experience and I intend to make the most of it.
Well that's all for now :L

Results :P

Well I got my junior cert results yesterday :P I got the results I wanted. All honours but that's all I'm saying. ;o Many people decided to go out partying for their results night but not me ;) I hung around Celbridge like a little lonley soul, well I would have been a lonley soul if there hadn't been twelve of my friends there .. -_- I knew in the long run I'd regret not doing much for results night but last night I was just too tired :Z So I went to singing class and then went out with my friends :)
My mom was happy with my results eventhough they weren't as great as my sisters :P So was my dad so happy in fact I got a little bit of reward money ;o

Carlingford ;)

Back from Carlingford and could easily sleep for a week :P Very tempting not to come in today, but as everyone knows today is junior cert results day :L So as I sit here writing this I am nervously awaiting my results :P I could have stayed at home and waited for them online I guess but then I would have had way too much time to think about it, so I decided to come in and endure a tiring day of school :L
We got the bus to carlingford at seven o'clock. So naturally I woke at four a.m. that night and did all my packing. We got there at around nine or ten. We were split into two groups and away we went on our first activity. Which happened to be a challange course.
After a well earned luch of chips and beans and sausages for those who eat meat :/ we headed out on the second activity of the day... Laser shooting :D We all dressed up in army one pieces and hiked up half a mountain to the shooting range. Which was a huge upward sloping field of dirt. Filled with huts, trenches, sandbags, barrels and everything else needed to make it look like a battlefield. We split into two teams ; the reds and blues. Each gun had a name I was Xenon ;) After we learned how to use the guns, the war began. That activity was definietly the most exciting :)
