so iv been gone for a while but trust me i can explain....
i've spent ages with projects :O the main two were for geography and history. they were both really cool cos we got to pick the topic ourselves. i did my geography proejct on different theatres around the world and i did my history project on whether shakespeare wrote his own plays. i must admit it feels really good having them both done. now all there is to prepare for is the ty night. every student has to pick a subject they want to be in charge for and make a presentaion about what we've done this year. me and shannon gannon are doing history and we dont hav that much time!! might has well start now then

go flo!!!
well heeeloooooooooooooooooo there!!!!
tonight is the night we have all een waiting for!!....well not really, but we are all nervous. tonight we're having out annual music night and classes Eriu and Banba are singing florence and the machines "Shake it out". and anyone that knows me knows that i have a rather unhealthy obsession with florence and the machine.
we've been practising the song for months now and we've finally got it down to a T!! i was lucky enough to get a little solo in the song. its only two longs but if its florence...im happy!! :)
just for fun..here my line!!....
"and its hard to dance with the devil on your back,
but given half the chance would i take any of it back?
its a fine romance but its left me so undone"
LOVE IT!!!! :)
the show opens at about 7.30 tonight so wish us luck...god knows..I NEED IT!! :o

banging on really loud drums after a week with uncontrable kids can be quite therapeutic!!
ok so if you happen to be a normal person, you're probably looking at the title going WHAT THE ......???????:O
dont worry...i shall explain myself now...
we did our second week of work experiance last week and this time i opted for a montessori instead of a solicitors office. and i can safely ...theres quite a difference. iv alway loved kids and iv always been good with them but they can be such a CHALLENGE at times -_- i was working at my aunties montessori and there were two classes everyday. one in the morning which lasted from 9.30 to 12.30 and then the afternoon class started at 1.00 to 4.00 first the kids had an hour and a half of "work time" which usually consited of me helping them with puzzlee and what not.. and theh after that there was "cirlce time" which is basacially where all of of sat in a circle and sang songs...read stories...you get it... then there was lucnh time which lasted a half an hour and then finally the was art time before they went home, except on fridays when its cooking time instead. the kids were great but they could ge a little mad at times. the morning class werent so bad though. they were very quite and they usually did all their work by themselves without much help from me or my aunt. but the afternoon class could be quite diffuculy because the majority of them were foreign and one of them couldn't even speak english at all!!! (quite diffucult to say the least!! ) and they could get quite loud and wpuldnt do their work. the most diffucult part of the afternoon class though was that there was a boy called philip who is disabled. but he hasnt been diagnosed yet so it is very to help im because we didnt know what excactly was wrong with him. he was fine most days ...but on wednesday....HE WENT MENTAL !! :o
apart from that i had a really good time working with the kids and they were so sweet and cute and some of them would literally follo me around the entire day AWWWWWW :)
on monday we had a percussion workshop. which was really cool just spending the entire day playing drums :) not too shabby !!!
god im tired

st brigid was such a multi tasker!!!!
hola mis amigos!!!!! que tal???!!!
ok enough that now!!! fyi for all that dont know me, after four years at this school that is all the spanish i actually know. i know...thats....sad..but im actually proud of that achievment.
on tuesday we went to kildare town for a st brigid pilgrimage. i know it doesnt sound that good but it was actually really fun. we went to st brigids cathedral and we went underground into a tiny little...tomb...thingy. i dont...people were buried there anyway. ut funnily enough, it is locally referred to as "st brigids kicthen" now i dont know about you, but i wouldn't be too impressed if i was buried in a place that was possably confused with an actual kicthen!!
we were all very tired and it involved alot of walking, and mr c, had alot of trouble trying to get us to keep up, and for a while we were seroiusly behind schedule. but once we all got our starbucks pick me up, we were very livley and happy. we went to see st brigids well. but the ground was soaking wet so i was actually FREEZING for the longest time. apart from that the trip was actually pretty cool. it amazing to see all the stuff that one woman could've done.
