Last Day In Computer Room :(

Oh My God!
So today is the last day in computer room :(

And out Last IT class with Mrs L :(

The amount of times I've been in this computer is unbelievable! :o
Its been so much fun blogging! :D

Awh am gona miss it so much :(

Drive for Life.. hmm Maybe..

Today Pat McNeely from Drive for Life kindly came in and spent the day with us educating us about how important it is to drive safely! 


I have never been so shocked in my life. People are killed everyday, due to some of the foolish and stupid people out there not wearing seat belts and showing off and not driving the way they should. Pat gave us some extreme figures about how many people die every year. 


It really opened our eyes when we saw Horrific and Unbelievable images of car crash and how many injuries and how its an easy cause of death if your not careful! 
We saw video clips of how this affects their families and if they survive crashes how the injuries affects the rest of their lives. 


The pictures were graffic but it just shows how easily .. actually 7/10 seconds for the crash to happen! 


People are careless and breaking the law all the time. They don't care or think about the consequences of their actions. Statistics show that Women are better drivers than Men!


It really opened my eyes to how important wearing a seat belt is. I can't believe that Ireland is high on the scale of Bad Driving!

One of the things which effect bad driving is Drink and Drugs Driving. A lot of people intent to drink a few and think there okay to drive home when really they are putting their lives at risk and whoever is in the car with them!


It was a really good day and.. well.. lets just say I need to practice my test before I go for the actual one! 
It was a great day and i learned so much :) 

The Countdown Begins..

It just like hit me that we have a week and a bit left in school :o Am actually going to miss TY soo much :( It's been a brilliant year! 

Next Monday.. we are hosting our TY Night and our parents our invited! Its to display everything we've done this year and showing our parents what we've got up to and where we went :) 

It's going to be amazing night.. showing off our dancing skills like Zumba and Charleston, our acting skills like participating in The Briery Gap Competition, our angel like singing Seasons Of Love (our TY song) <3 we've little surprises but being an MC I can't let you know all the details ;)

I hope everything works out and it runs smoothly :) 

Incoming "TY Heads" :D

This blog is dedicated to the incoming TY's so listen up carefully..

Girls, what a year you're going to have :) This is the year to really go for it! The expression "What you put into TY is what you get out of it".. is sooooooooo true! 

Tips:

Make friends :)

Do everything you want to :)

Get your projects done asap! Because other projects come along and you forget some are due and its sooo stressful. So get them out of the way and relax.

Join sports and get involved.

And last but not least..


ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF TY!

HAVE FUN :)

Reflection on Transition Year :)

Its all nearly over and gosh what a year its been!

Looking back on the year is crazy! I really enjoyed the year sooo much :) I've made SO MANY new friends it's unreal that's one of the best things about TY. It was amazing getting to know the people in my year :)

Am so glad i did TY, I definitely was not ready to go straight in 5th Year, I don't think I would have taken it seriously at all and with all the studying I would have probably had a melt down.

The amount of opportunities we've had to experience new things and  the places we've gone to is shocking.. shockingly amazing. I think that this year was for me :) I would really do it all over again, i don't regret anything! :)

At times I regretted doing TY so much! I just wanted to get into 5th Year and do some actual work and no more projects! I felt it got too much with all the projects that were due and all the trips! There was a lot of responsibility. I think that a lot of TY is based on responsibility.

But those days were very temporary, the next day i would love TY all over again :D I have never been on a bus so many times in one year! The trips were so much fun :)

Another great thing has been all the trips we've got to go to, they were always so fun and educational at the same time! Bet you didn't think that could happen.. Well guess what it happens in TY :D The opportunities taking part in competitions were amazing, like : The Young Scientist, The Drama Competition, Sci-Fest, Mini Company, they've been really good fun too :) It also gave us a chance to meet new people and learn new things. 

We've got to try Subjects as well that we'd never done before like Home-Ec, Art and Tech :) I've made pretty cool things like a Key-Ring, Key-Holder, and a Phone-Holder :) 

One of the things that always makes me smile when i think about TY is the memories I have of this year! And believe there are A LOT! It's amazing to think about the amount of friends I've made, the amount of new skills i have and everything that I've learnt just in TY! 

Am leaving TY with more than i started with :)

It's been such amazing year! And Mrs.L has done an amazing job :) Couldn't imagine another TY Co-Ordinator! She has been so patient, caring and a lot of fun and tried to get the best things for us to do :D 

Overall its been a super amazing year! I'd do it all again :) I had the best experience ever and i have so many memories to look back on too :D

Gaisce Banter! :D

Hey Everyone :)

Sooo on Friday the 27th of April about 30 TY's headed off to the great Kippure Estate in Co.Wicklow where a 25k Hike awaited us :)

We left Wolstans with full of excitement and enthusiasm! When we arrived we were sorted into our houses :) I was in Gryffindor House Number 5, along with 10 other girls :D We soon met our Instructors Darragh, Stephen and Wayne. We then headed off on our 13k hike for the first day :) 

The hike was.. long.. very long.. and tiring kind of ,there was a lot of steep up hill walking on the Friday! Everyone was very chatty and eager to do the hike which in some way made it easier to get through! For some of us it was hard work but others flew up those mountains! :) Along our journey we got to sit down every now and again and snack but! one thing that was absolutely mind blowing was the scenery! WOW it was amazing! The view from the mountain was fantastic! Everything was sooo still and so peaceful it was definitely one of the most amazing thing that we got to experience! We also visited on of the tombs on the mountain which had a little passage way and we all got to go through and take lots and lots of pictures! 

The walk back down wasn't so easy either :L There was a lot of falling and stumbling followed by lots of laughter and photos :)

As we walked back to our house from a 4 hour Hike there definitely was a sense of excitement and ... hmm FOOD? :D

Yesss we were absolutely buzzing! Everyone brought the food they wanted to devour in.. Things like Pizza, Chicken Dippers, Pasta, Waffles, Sweet Chili and Rice were among those that had been stuffed in the fridge and freezer :)  We all sat around and ate up everything on the plates! We were hungry.. after all that walking, talking and hiking :)

After our meal it didn't stop there.. then we whipped out the chocolate, crisps, popcorn and coke... THE WHOLE LOT :D

As we settled down into the sofas and had the chats we decided that nothing could make this moment more special than watching HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL..... NUMBER 2!!!!! :D

Yes.. yes we did.. we a group of 16 year olds sat together.. in the sitting room and watched HSM <3 of course Miss Sarah herself entertained us with the dance moves :D Then we really were feeling cringy and watched Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (love) and then it didn't stop there .. then came Wild Child (sooo amazing)!! 

Ohhh and i failed to mention by the second movie.. it was 3 o'clock... 

Oh and we had to be up in a few hours!! ... :o

So when the third movie came along.. we had only 1 hour and a half before we had to get up and do a 12k hike ... WOOOOOOOP!

We woke up the next morning by the loud knock on the door at 8 ... Noooooo :(

We made breakfast and rushed to get out of the house for the rest our hike. We left at 9:10 and headed for "the more challenging" and tricky part of the mountain. 

I thought out of the two days.. Saturday was harder.. It was more steep and mucky (that part was fun) but it was still a lot of fun. As we walked up through the mountains we had lost a lot of our energy and excitement from the lack of sleep. But still were very keen on completing our challenge :) 

We ended the day with some fun activities with our group including; The Leap of Faith, Rock Climbing, Abseiling and lots more :) It was a great way to end the trip :) 

Gaisce was one of the most amazing things I truly enjoyed in TY! :D I would definitely do it again :) It was a tough challenge but when complete a 25k Hike.. that's an achievement! I truly did feel soo happy I completed it. Not only was it a challenge it was also a lot of fun with everyone!! 

Big thanks to Ms. H, Ms O'C and Mr K :D Had so much fun with them too! :D 

Today in the Bank Nationals! And just thought I'd dedicate a blog to the girls! :D

By the way listen to there theme song it's super amazing :)
They have worked soo hard throughout the year and they totally deserve it they've made it soooo fun for everyone :D I hope everything goes there way :)

Good Luck Ladies :)
