Blog Challenge time! :D

Sooo, I decided to do a blog challenge, because I'm a master procrastinator and it's a lot more fun than doing projects. So I'm doing to blog challenge:

"Write a blog post about somewhere that you would like to visit when you leave school"

Ok well there are so many places I would like to visit, but after I've finished school (and college) I really want to living abroad of travel abroad for a year? Well I've got like, a good few years left, and it will probably never happen, BUT the countries I would most like to go to for like a year would be:

1)Canada! Possibly Toronto? or Vancoover..


2) New York


3)LA


4)Chicago


5)Australia


I know, very original and out there... But before I die I plan on going to each of this countries/ cities. Well I've already been to NYC and Chicago, and I'm going back to Chicago this summer (BUZZ!) So I'm doing pretty alright.
Well that's all I can think of really, bit of a plan like. I'm thinking more short term at the moment, liek the fact my sister gave me permission to learn to drive in her car when she moves to Spain :D
Whoop whoop!
I'll probably end up doing another post..
So seeya in a minute?

Geography brochure yoke..

Soo, I'm in IT class. I've actually noticed that I don't have as many blog posts as I should, so I apologise in advance for blogging more than usual. I know that like twenty posts from me was probably more than enough.
  Well I'm trying to do my geography project, and I'm having trouble finding "the perfect" disease to write about, just not feeling any of them? Which well I suppose if pretty lucky... but I actually meant in the sense that there are none, as of yet, I find interesting enough to actually write a brochure about. I'm pretty fussy about it though. I want to find one that nobody else is doing. I don't know. I should really stop putting so much effort into think about the project and actually just do it?
  So the bell is about to go. I should probably publish this rather than add it to the piling list of drafts..

s'laters...

Desert Flower

So we watched a movie called Desert Flower, which was based on the life of Waris Dirie (I think I spelt that right) who was a girl was ran away from home in Somalia after being arranged into a marriage she did not want, she had to walk for days to reach the capital to find her family who arranged for her to get a passport and to get her out of the country.  She moved to London to work as a cleaner in an embassy and was later homeless when the ambassador left. One day she met a friend and went to stay with her in her hostel, got a job working as a cleaner in fast food and started having a social life. Then she got picked up by a photographer and became a model, got famous and travelled around the world then when they found out her passport was out of date and that she was actually illegal, as she never got her passport renewed after she became homeless, so she married her neighbour to get citizenship. Then she became really famous, known world wide, and one day she did an interview, unlike all other stories about her being a nomad girl to super model, this one was her telling the world about how she was mutilated and how wrong female genital mutilation. Her story spread fast and eventually she was invited to speak out about it to the UN and started a movement to stop this happening to young girls.
Over all it was a very good movie, even though it had a very serious message it was funny at times and I would recommend it to watch if you're stuck for a movie :)
Slán? Ye I don't know..

We're back....

So we're back at school again, after two and a half weeks of actually getting sleep and being able to relax.. At the moment we have free Spanish in the computer room (Slightly obvious..) and because we just got back I have no projects or essays or any work due, just because I'm a model student... So i got back and checked my ClustrMap and I have a load of extra views? I think it's because we won ALL THOSE AWARDS! :D
I haven't got much to blog about really, just thought I should probably make a post, let you all know I'm alive and well? It's my birthday on Thursday!! So excited lads :D

byee,

Busy busy busy...

So I actually can't write much, I have like five minutes left of class, but I had nothing better to do so I thought I'd write something..
So The first night of the musical was on last night! Well the hills may be alive, but I'm actually almost dead(hawhaw), I didn't actually notice just how much goes on behind the stage. Like normally in the audience when you're wondering why somethings being slow or why someone isn't on, you don't realise how manic it is behind stage, I mean everyone is panicking trying to get it fixed and even when things go smoothly on the stage, it's going mad behind it; but i loved my job! I was a runner, but I only really liked it when I actually had work to do. Fun all the same! Got to go, class is over and I won't have time later I can almost guarantee.

Work Exp. and Don Giovanni

So I haven't blogged in like three weeks, because I was at work experience and I was busy.. Sorry. So yeah, work experience was a bit of craic? I went to a psychiatric day centre, and everyone I speak to when they hear that is like :O because they assume that everyone that was there was really crazy? But like they were actually just normal people, who were all recovering from some form of illness.. So Yeah it was actually really fun!
  Then last Tuesday we went to the opera, which I didn't mind so much, but it was very long. Like I didn't fall asleep or anything... But had a bit of a buzz sitting at the back and ate too many sweets and the usual, so overall it was a good day; and Fódla didn't get exiled to the tiny bus! We got to go on the big bus with Banba, and I'm not going to lie, it was pretty awesome.
  So yep, I have loads to say but well I've waited to long to say it and all and I've forgotten most of it, I'll actually blog more that I'm back in school
ONLY A WEEK TO THE MUSICAL! Which I'm working as a runner at. :)
So that's about it really, Hope you're all well.

Religion activity :)

So I've been on mid-term the past week, which was nice, enjoyed the break and all that, soo happy to be back...  :)
Yesterday in Religion we did an activity, where we all were given a paragraph describing a person and she would ask us questions like "are you educated" etc. and depending on your person, you would take a big step for yes, small step for maybe and stay for no. I was Xi Li, who was a 13 year old girl from child who worked in a factory making toys, she was often ill due to the fumes from paints but was not allowed voice her opinion and got no leisure time. The point of this was to show that everyone is equal, but we all have different opportunities, the poeple at the front, had the best chances, while the people who barely moved didn't get may chances at all.
