It's not the end of the world

Hey guys,

So this week of Transition year madness came to an end yesterday, and with it came the start of my two week long CHRISTMAS holidays!

We spent the first three days of this week in 'test mode' but come Wednesday the only thing pulling us through was the thought of our day out on Thursday. So, when it came, we were all more than happy to drop our books and pick up the bowling balls.

We had a small party for all TY's on Thursday morning where we danced around, ate cake and handed out our secret Santa presents. I was delighted with my present, a cupcake body lotion with a dr.pepper smelling body wash (yum) and 3 BOXES of brownies! If that wasn't enough we then headed out to bowl, and when I came 4th out of 6 people it was time to go shopping.

But of course, the first thing I did was run over and grab myself some chinese food, as one should. It was delicious and with 10 minutes to spare we got a little bit of shopping done too ! So that was our great day out and that's us finished until January! Merry Christmas!!

Till next week,
Ciara

It's been a long time coming!

Hey Guys,

So two weeks have passed since my last blog post (apologies) and I have lots of TY news to share! In my absence the Christmas countdown has begun, and everybody's already in the holiday spirit! Also, I've completed all of my Christmas assignments, so now there's plenty of time for fun and.. oh yeah, tests.

I'll start off by telling you that myself and my team mates Eimear & Zoe have COMPLETELY finished our JunkKouture design and even managed to get it onto a cat walk this week for a fashion show. The show was great and everybody's designs were amazing! It was fantastic to see all of our hard work finally paying off!!
 
 
 
In other good news, my group have begun selling our mini company product. Business is excellent and we're having a blast so far, I feel like i'm in a fully blown business! This week was also the deadline for the rest of my Christmas assignments. I have finally  finished all of these and they included : My Geography 'around the world' scrap book, a music folder & an english essay. That's the hard part done, and really, it wasn't hard at all!
 
Today I went along to a ballet with my year. We took the day out to see one of our school's students dancing in the Nutcracker ballet, and it was really good fun! We're now refreshed and getting prepared for next weeks tests. Transition years don't have it bad at all and we're finishing our 2 days of tests by  throwing ourselves a little Christmas party and going out to bowl, shop and eat some more of that amazing Chinese food I told you about in my last post. We even finish 2 days before the rest of the school, now that's not bad..
 
Till next week,
Ciara
