Mini Company,Art and Mullingar!

On Monday 21st of Mini Company's, my team's product was 'iBrow' an eyebrow kit. It consisted of January we had our Mini Company competition in the school. The kit consisted of eyebrow stencils,eyebrow filler and a tweezers.Every team had to make a presentation for there product and describe there product to the judges.There was 3 prizes for each class, unfortunately our team didn't win anything.Four teams were shortlisted from our school.

In art we have started making our images out of the string in casette tapes. We firstly printed a picture of them and turned it black and white. We then roughly sketched the picture onto a white A3 page.I just started sticking the casette tape string down onto my page on Tuesday. It is looking good soo far!

On Tuesday 29th of January we went to Mullingar for The Briery Gap Drama competition. Our drama was about 'The effects of war' written by a girl in our class.I was playing the part of one of the soldiers.To settle our nerves and fill us up we all went to McDonalds for some food and then walked around the town as we had 2 hours before we were on stage. When we returned from McDonalds we decided to practice each of our plays just so no mistakes were made! My group was the first up to perform. It went really well and no mistakes were made and the Judge gave us positive feedback.

A new year..same old me:)

I don't blog that much because i've been very busy outside of school with my sports and I feel it is more important to me than blogging, and I don't particularly like blogging either haha..
I'm in a rant mood..
Last week was our first week back in school, I do like school but in all fairness i'd rather be doing sports than learning. I don't think we do enough sport related thing's in Transition Year. Doing sports can help people who stress about tests and girl should be influenced to do some sort of sport because the statistics are really bad about girls and keeping fit and healthy.

On Wednesday we started in our new 8 week work experience placement. I am doing mine in The Credit Union in Celbridge:)
I tried to get Croke Park for my 3rd placement but they have no vacancies left and i'm really dissappointed because that is something I am interested in doing when i'm older.I am going to try and get a placement within the F.A.I or The Aviva Stadium but I would say that would be hard to get too.

On Thursday we went to the Young Scientist Exhibition in The Rds, I am not a fan of Science at all and didn't really find anything interesting. The only thing I liked was the pizza I got outside in the food stall. But when your with friends it makes everything better..

It's a new year, so that means 6 months till Summer holidays, I can't wait I love Summer and can't wait to go on holidays..
