Hey there lads!
Well, its week seven here in Transition Year.. And I am loving every single bit of it! Its even better than i ever imagined, such a class break from the studies too! Dont get me wrong, we still do work in every class, as i mentioned in my last blog about projects!
Work experience is going great also, the junior infants are the cutest things ever! They make me feel like a giant, which is class considering everyone else is a giant to me! Ah sure, they're tiresome, but i enjoy every little bit of my day with them :)
So, i havent mentioned before, but i play camogie, and have done the past six years or so.. Well, this Thirsday, all transition year students who play camogie are being brought to DCU with Mr. Lawlor. It should be maaaad craic!
This week is the last week of term, so a week off for midterm next week! I can't wait for the lie-ins! :D Spent the last couple of weeks making plans with mates for next week, should be mad craic!
So, this first term summed up in one word? Amazing.
Thanks for reading lads!

Projects, projects and more projects!
Hey lads!
Those of you who have completed Transition Year before will know about the amount of projects we have to complete. It is unreal! We have at least one assignment in every singal subject. Ah sure, it is transition year after all!
Some of the projects are quite interesting. Like history for instance. I absolutely HATED history in the junior cert cycle. However, now, in TY we are doing the history that is in some ways related to the times now. We are doing the history of the Space Race and the first landing on the moon. This is related to the quite recent news of Neil Armstrongs passing. I find this aspect interesting and cool to learn about..
English. I absolutely love this project! We have been put into gropups of three's to create an essay containing all six words of which we have been given. I am enjoying this assignment, and my group and I are almost finished! English interests me alot, so this may be some of the reasons why i am enjoying this project so much!
Some of the projects are quite boring, like the maths project. Usually maths is one of my stronger points, however, i am not too fond of the course of Transition year! It is quite a scary one :S Ah sure, we'll just have to live with it!
I am enjoying the team work involved with the projects in every class, however the projects we do individually are not too flattering. Projects. Lots of them, and plenty more to go!

Fun Walk!
Hey lads!
Writing this blog today with the topic of fun walk on hand! Well, fun walk was on Friday the 5th of October.. It wasnt raining, which was a shock to the system!
We started off with tutor time.. Our class practised the routine for our dance while myself and Aisling went from class to class taking photographs of each and every class with their teachers in their costumes.. I have ta say, there was a huge array of colour displayed in every class!
First years had to wear pink, and we witnessed different costumes including spongebob characters, pigs etc. Second years were purple and showed us their views on bullying through dance. Third years were green, and TY's were yellow. I have to say, our class Cairdeas really should have won, with our excellent dancing skills and co-ordination! (haha TY's? Co-ordination?) Fifth years were blue, with costumes ranging from avatar to the blues brothers.. They were good! And last but not lease, the sixth years, wearing black and white. I have ta say, these were pure class! Every dance was well thougth of and it was evident much preparation and pratise went into them.
We set off on our walk and returned to be greeted with a can of coke! We were all content enough! We spent the rest of the afternoon dancing away to songs such as macarena, gangnam style and many more.
Overall, it was a great day had by everyone, and everyone had the craic! (Including the teachers!)
