Ty Blog 2; Carlingford (:

On Monday and Tuesday the 13 & 14th of September, Tys went to Carlingford D: The morning going I had to get up at 6am to get to Celbridge on time to get the bus. Its was extremely difficult. Ms O'Callaghan & Ms Rowan came along with us :) Its was gas listening to Ms O'Callaghan tell everyone how she loves to watch the Disney Channel :)

Carlingford village is so cute :) When we got there, we were split into groups. Groups 1,2 & 3 always went together and 4,5 & 6 went togther. We did so much walking, that i NEVER want to use my feet again. At Carlingford we got to do high ropes and go canoeing :) Me and my friend were in a boat together and were the first ones to topple over and into the water, within the first 10 minutes ;) that, takes serious talent :D Afterwards we got to go pier jumping. I REALLY waned to do it but i wasnt able to :( so me and Ruth watched all the terrified girls stand on the pier wall and looking down into the water below x]
We got to choose who we stayed in the rooms with. There was 8 in my room all together which was pretty fun :) We had to get up at 8am which was soo hard because the night before we had to go on a 3 hour hike =.= which was only ment to take us 2 but our guides got us lost in the pitch black on the top of a mountain D: when we got back, groups 4,5 & 6 were all nicely showered, in their jammies and had eaten chinese. It wasnt a plesant greeting after being battered to death by the hailstones on the top of the mountain and drenched by the rain D:
The next day we had to do even MORE walking =.= it was extremely tiring :/ Then later that day we did challenges which was really fun :D Some were pretty hard and involved alot of thinking but sure twas worth it :)

As much as I complained about the pain in my legs and feet i really enjoyed Carlingford (:

Ty Blog numbero uno :)


:)

This has been my first week of TY 2010. I’m in class Amina which is a pretty darn awesome class if I do say so myself (: A lot of new people that I wouldn’t normally talk to but everyone is real nice :D Its hard to get used to getting up at 7 every morning because I’m so used to going to bed late and getting up late, but it’ll get there…. Eventually :/
This year we get to try out all the subjects.. Apart from business which I must admit, I’m kind of relieved. A lot of new classes and teachers as well. 
So far I’ve enjoyed TY and we’ve all been told about the projects that we have to complete throughout this year. I’m really excited about our home ec project because we get to make a dress of our choice with our own designs J Its pretty exciting :D And in music we get to make our own music and make a music video to go with it (:
I cannot waiiiit for Carlingford on the 13th D:
