What are you looking at ? :O

We performed our play 'what are you looking at ?' (hence the blog title)  for the first time on a real stage in Mullin Garr :) All the actors were great and although the lighting and sound was abit off the play still went very well and i felt proud to be a part of it :) Hopefully we'll go on to the next stage of the competition but even if we don't I still enjoyed the whole expirience.
Second week of work expirience is coming up and im going to trocaire :) I'll talk more about it after i've actually done it.
Things are calming down for a while anyway, I think. Not too many trips so I shouldn't be too tired in the weeks to come :D But it's never boring in TY so I probably wont get too realxed :P
Later..

Young Scientist


Attended the young scientist on Friday had a great day and came home with a bag full of freebies :)
This week I've been mainly concentrating on subject choices and future career paths, I know it seems a bit early but mock subject choices are coming up and I think I've almost decided what subjects I want to take for leaving cert, at the moment it's History, biology and music. However that could change in the next week or even by the next class as every teacher is trying to promote their subjects and I'm quite easily swayed :L

Apart from the stress of deciding my future :L our play rehearsals for other briary gap are in full swing, they would be going pretty well if we had to perform in three weeks, but the reality is our first performance is next week and it will decide if we continue to the next level of the competition or not. We've put alot of work into it so I hope it goes well. So wish me luck :)

Although our project didn't make it into the young scientist it will be appearing in scifest so there's still alot of work underway there. Come along and have a look if you want haha :L 
Later :)

The dancers ranged from about fifteen / sixteen to ten / eleven :) They were all amazing :D It was about two hours long and we were very near the front. It was a really good expirience there was also three girls from our school in the ballet. Afterwards we went to McD's :D

Work & opeera ;)

Yesterday we went to see Don Giovanni in the Swan cinema, Rathmines. It was five hours long :L and in italian. Thankfully there were subtitles. We got the bus from school at half nine and arrived at about quater past ten. Interesting but tiring :)





Work expirience was last week :D I went to Insight theater group. We went on the circuit to prosperous, skerries, rosmore and loads more venus. I got to learn lighting sound, how to prompt, budgeting, costumes and setting/striking the stage. It was a great expirience, everyone was really nice and I would definietly recommend it. If you like theater and travelling.
