Mini Company

What is Mini Company ? Well Mini Company (mini co) is a project that is run throughout TY. TY students are the only year that get this opportunity as we have lots of time on our hands. We get into groups and create a products or service and try to sell it to our target market. We have to produce, advertise and sell. So we basically have a 'Mini Company',  My group and I (5 people) decided to create a product that we could sell all year round. I went to a wholesalers (thanks dad for helping me with everything and mum for providing lots of supportive advice ;") ) and found jars and I went back to the group and talked about jars and BOOM! our company was formed. We decided to make jars that have different items in them for the different occasions.

This is our Christmas Jar. Inside there is a apple cinnamon candle and lots of chocolate 

Making jars!!!! My hand ^^^

These are our Movie Night Jars. They contain a lavender candle (soothing scent), popcorn (yum!), tissues (for those sad movies) and lots of sweets!

                                               This is our Sleepover/ Girly jar

New Year Resolutions?

HAPPY 2016! Who is still writing 2012 subconsciously? Because I still am.
Well New year = new year resolutions and of course I have high expectations of myself.

1. Eat healthier; I broke this on the second of January
2. Go on walks more often; I have yet to get the motivation
3. Get more sleep; I won't lie, I am trying but youtube is made to be watched late at night.

Well my new year resolutions aren't going too well but I'm sure my friends are going to pester me about them after reading this so good luck to me.

Well have a great year and make sure to come back here for updates of my TY life. BYEEEE

I'm tired 

by jade wolfe 

I'm tired of all the lies

I'm tired of saying i'm sorry 

I'm tired of being the first one to text 

I'm tired of crying at night 

I'm tired of not being taken seriously 

I'm tired of being a distraction 

I'm tired of everything being my fault 

I'm tired of untangling the messes you make 

I'm tired of pretending i don't love you

I'm tired ... I'm tired of you 

This is Jade's poetry. Go ahead and see her other poetry cause they're very good poems that me fangirl. OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK bye! 

Positivity!

                                         

My year decided (with the assistance of our R.E teachers. Hello if you're reading this!) that we would try to get an amber flag for the school. Amber flag represents positive mental health. Our aim is to increase awareness, social support and reduce bullying and isolation. We created a committee (which ended up being all of TY!!) and decided to organize an amber day which would be full of positivity. 

Our Amber Day was last Friday the 4th of December. We decided to have a bake sale, busking and face painting. On Friday we wore amber and we spent the day in the library talking, organizing and singing. It was a day full of laughter and singing. We all took photos and we launched our website. The Liffey Champion came to capture this moment. Everyone in our year baked so we had a lot of goodies! and all the money we made was donated to Suicide Aware and Pieta House. I helped to paint peoples faces (I wasn't very good)  

          The day ended with the whip and nae nae and Adele while we cleaned up.
          This is our TY religion website check it out!

Sleep time aka Mid-term break

After a long and adventurous term, I had a week off. We got our mid-term break on Friday. We dressed up in different costumes according to our year, my year was superheroes and villains. I dressed up as Spider-Man (the best superhero) and that night I went to a party (Yes I try to have a social life). The whole week after that night was pure relaxation because I'm kinda lazy. I did however go to see the new James Bond movie which was very long and confusing but I started to understand it after getting mini descriptions from my family during the movie.
On Halloween I dressed up as a prisoner and went to my friends house for the night. I didn't go trick or treating, I really wanted to go but apparently I'm too old (cue child tantrum ) so I just robbed my friends sweets.

                                               ^^^^^ The squad is on point^^^^^




P.S: THE 5SOS ALBUM CAME OUT ON THE 23RD AND OMG SLAY!

English class adventures

On the 8th of October (the day after I got my braces off yay!)  we went to Dublin on an English trip. We split into two groups and my group went to the WW1 exhibition first.  I love history so I was excited. We went around the museum and looked at primary sources from the war such as letters. I spoke to the speaker and he told me about some information about the factory workers and where they lived. We then went to the national library to see the W.B Yeats exhibition. We were shown all of W.B Yeats early poetry and we learnt about his family life.
After going to both exhibitions we were given an hour to go around Grafton Street.   I went to McDonald's (who doesn't love their food? Big mac= happiness) We met up after I went to Starbucks (gasp!) and we all listened to a band busking on the street. It was really fun because we were all singing, dancing and cheering really loudly.
We also met the president!!! (There is a picture below)

Of course I had to get Starbucks. It's PSL season!

                                This is my mini squad, they're kinda cool.

WE MET THE PRESIDENT (I'm the one who looks like a lunatic in the back)

History Trip!!

             

For our history we didn't travel very far as we live in a historical village. We went to Castletown and were brought on a tour around the house. Most of us could have given the tour ourselves because we had been there all of our lives! We took photos of Mr Connolly's statue and we learnt about the different owners of the house, Walking back down the avenue was beautiful because it was the end of Autumn so the leaves we falling off the trees and it was cold so we were all wrapped up in our coats and scarves. This didn't last very long as it started to rain, typical Irish weather!

This is the avenue^

Here are some movie worthy stairs^

                                                   HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!
