Up coming work experience

Work experience coming up :D

This one i'm really looking forward to as it is something i am very interested in. I am going to a modelling agency called; First Option Modelling agency. I have to dress up and assist Trish Fallon who set up first option. Their Models Have worked with Tyra Banks and other celebrities. Im not exactly sure what i am going to be doing there but should be fun anyway, they seem very down to earth. Im sure i'll be busy busy busy. Getting into the fashion industry would be something i'd be interested in getting into so i consider this a great opportunity and i appriciate it very much. I know im going to have to get up very early so i'll be able to find it as im not exactly sure where it is, but i'll find it none the less :)

BRING ON MARCH! :D

You can visit their website on; www.1stoption.ie

Enjoy the work :)

Drama exercise

Drama exercise today was interesting. It kinda felt like pe but it was fun. I didnt really get how it related to english. I understand that we're moving on stage, but we wouldnt be moving like that on stage acting the maggot. It was fun moving in shapes trying to hold the position and then your partner moving around you. The only problem with the exercise is my legs and back really hurt from it because i was having too much fun, that i didnt sit down to break at all! We were all very giggly but he told us to do the exercise we must be silent, if im being honest this made me laugh more knowning i wasnt allowed to talk. All in all good workshop :D

Mullingar play! :D

Yeeeeeeow! we finally got to perform out plays on the big stage! it was so scary, everyone was so nervous that we were going to have to perform in front of other schools. Luckily we were the only school there so we could move swiftly with our performances. My play was up first and we were called 'Noughts & Crosses'. Its about a white boy (A Nought) and a black girl (A Cross) who were best friends since they were little in a world where white people are 'nothing' and black people run everything. Callum and Sephy are in love and there is a tragic end to this love story. Callum is accused of raping Sephy and is hung while she is pregnant with his unborn child. It is based on the novel Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. This was a fun play to perform, but after practising it like 8 times the day before i was really starting to get sick of it. The other plays were amazing! they all made me cry except my own. One play called 'D.U.I' by girls in Emnet made me ball my eyes out! it was so silent in the theatre and all you could hear was me sobbing in the background, oh scarlet for me! then they played the song Stan by eminem,which is one of the saddest songs I've heard in my life believe it or not. Another play from emnet 'Time of your life' made me cry as well. It was very dramatic and there was humour too but they captured the aggressiveness and the horrific relationship the girl Sophia was in. There was other schools from Donegal there and their plays were a good bit longer than ours, they were very good although the story lines were simple, they were effective and interesting. We got chatting to girls from Donegal in Ty asking them what its like to go to school there and just about themselves in general. Before we saw the other schools we got to go to MCDONALDS! and i really felt like being fat hahahahaaha. i got a McChicken Sandwich, Medium Fries, Medium Coke and a Cookie. It was so yummy! i ate every single piece of the meal and i was still kinda hungry!
It was such a good day!
THE FINALS - WE'LL GET THROUGH YEEOW!

Young scientist, whata day that was!
We spent the whole day learning about other schools projects and getting to make friends in the different schools. There were very intertesting experiments to do with fibre optics. it was very confusing but they didnt mind explaining it to us in detail. Our year had only one project gone through to the YS, Kate, Aoife and Steph went through with a very complicated name which im not going to try and explain because i'll just get it wrong. It was an unreal project! it was so complicated and smart but it still made sense when explained. it was about antioxidents and which made us live longer. Green tea makes you live longer if i remember correctly. There we food stands outside aswell, Eddie rockets, Hotdogs, Smoothies and Chocolate fondue. all so yummy but so expensive! We went to see a robot show, but to be honest it was more aimed at the young ones, we all felt just a little bit too old for that. Got a free tshirt from intel. Everyone attacked the poor man for a tshirt, i felt really bad for him. You would swear theyve never seen a Tshirt before! THANKS FOR THE TSHIRT INTEL! It was also our friends birthday on the day so we celebrated his birthday :) i got lost a few times, but i was always found. Got chatting to a girl from cavan, she was lovely :)
so all in all, not a bad day :)
