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.

I know.......SCARY!!!!!! out of about a thousand applicants only 500 got through. and I was one of them.....YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!
It was alot of hard work though because ppl were so interested in our project and right now our voices our sooooo sore from saying the same speech over and over and over and over and....ok u get the point. but all in all it was really gud. we met soooo many new interesting ppl and i am now facebook friends with ALL of them ( yup im that cool ;) ) everyone was so nice with was such a surprise there was no bitchiness or arguments between anyone. it was sometimes like a big family. and afterward there was alot of entertainment. on firday there was a karaoke night / disco and on saturday there was a farewell disco. they were both so good aswell and i throughly enjoyed the experiance. i will admit though, coming back to school was diffucult wat with only one day rest before going back. tankfully we havnt bin given any more projects ( miracles do happen !!!) all we have to do now is finish out english drama and then we are done.....for now!!!!!!!!!! DA DA DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!!!!!!!

ireland vs America
hello to all.
this blog is mainly focused on the amercian students. and i think this will get alot of the students talking. im writing about the irish american education system so we can find out what the amercian one is like ok. lets start
first of all, most of us start in "playschool". but its not cumplosury, so some kids dont go. we go to this school when were really young. about 3-4 or 5. after were done with that we attend " primary school" this school we attend for 8 years. it starts off with junior infants then senior infants. then first class, second class, third class..etc until we get to 6th class and we leave primary school. i cant speak for all students, but because i went to a catholic school, in 2nd calss i recieved my first holy communion and in 6th i took part in my confirmation. these are both catholic traditions which all catholic students take part in. when we leave primary school we go to "secondry school" which is the school, we the irish students are currently in.
we go to this school for 5 to 6 years depending on wether we choose to take part in transition year or not. there are two major states exams that take place during secondry school. they take place in 3rd year and 6th year. the one in 3rd year is called the "junior cert" this exam is to basically prepare us for the exam in sixth year which is known as the "leaving cert". there are alot of debates on the junior cert as some people think it is a waste of time but others think it prepares us. the leaving cert is the final exam we take and detremines if or what college we will attend. there is a certain system of marking these exams. although in the junior cert we are marked with As Bs or Cs etc. in the leaving cert we are marked with points. there are 6 subjects in the leaving cert and the highest amount of points we can get is 600. these points are detirmind by how well we do but, ( this is the confusing bit eeeeeeeek) sometimes if a student struggles with a subject they can do the subject in "ordinary level" while the rest will stay in "higher level" . however just because someone is in ordinary level does not make them supid. for exaple. in maths, the ordinary level exam will not be easier then the higher lever one, they are both just very different papers. all of this basically means that in ordinary leverl and A is the equivalent of C in higher level. thus, you will not be able to get the same amount of points in ordianry level then you will in higher level. ( if that is confusing im so sorry......but trust me its just as confusing in real life also)
the of course there is college. im hoping to study law at trinity and the points for that are 520......oh dear!!!
