Yay, We have an Idea!

    Finally, three months into Mini Company and with alot of ideas which didnt exactly go to plan , WE HAVE SOMETHING :) im so happy, the girls and I have finally decided on what we are doing and after one day of working on it, its going very well :) thank god. its based on Christmas, which i also cannot wait for aaah :) so close :D i hope it snows again this year in Ireland :)

Opera, Opera, Opera!

  On Tuesday the 22nd, my class & I went to Rathmines to Swan Cinemas to see Don Giovanni the opera by Mozart. It was about 3 or 4 hours long and we got a 15 minute break in between. I must admit i really enjoyed it and I thought it was great to see an opera as i had never seen one before but i think it was a little too long for our first opera. However, i would definitley reccomend for other TY music students to see an opera as it makes studying operas so much easier :) x

Work Experience..

  Well, i went to LA MakeUp Academy in Dublin for work experience last week :) it was loads of fun. I got a chance to meet lots of new people including two girls from Our Ladys School, they were so nice and each day we all went for lunch together. We decided that we are going to keep in contact so we all exchanged numbers :)  During my visit to the Academy i also got a chance to meet Amber Sibley, the famous make up artist who did the make up for the crew at the new Alice & Wonderland movie , X-Men and many more :) it was such a great experience.
  while i was working there it was my job to keep the place spotless clean and run any errands. however the highlight of my stay with them was getting to model for the tutors and Amber Sibley while they showed their class how to do certain make up styles :) over all, it was a great experience and i would definitely reccommend anyone who is interested in that industry to go here for work experience. :)

Back into Routine..

  Midterm was loads of fun :) a full week to kick back and relax !...and do projects haha. Halloween was great fun :) i watched movies in my house with a few friends! then on wednesday i came into school for rehersals for the musical, i was in for about 2 and a half hours while we practised out dance for "How do you solve a problme like Maria"
  Then on Saturday, Me & Siofra helped our Friend Kasia (also in TY) to make a portfolio for her work experience. She is going to a big photograpghy study and to go she has to make a portfolio of photos she has taken, she already has a good few and they're all amazing but she needed a few more to finish it off. So me and Siofra went to the Kclub with her and we took some photos :) it was loads of fun and i hope Kasia is happy with the results. You can see one of the photos on her blog under Photograpghy!
  Thats all for now, Anita x

  So its Thursday the 20th of October and us TYs have a very busy day ahead of us! it begins at 2pm with our weekly activities , with dance classes where we are split into groups and each of us are making up a dance including the Charleston and many other moves we have picked up along the way! then we have Photography with Rob Love, which is my favourite as i love taking pictures of anything & everything :) then to top it all off, we have a pain staking 40 minutes of pilates! im not the best now, i have to admit but sure God loves a Trier :)
  Yesterday, the whole TY year went on a trip to Dublin! Our first stop was to a Museum where we all saw the Bog Bodies, which i have to admit i wasnt too excited about simply because im not a big fan of history however i thought it was the most interesting part of the day! i was so amazed on how well the bodies had been preserved and the stories which lay behind them were just so interesting! i would definatley recommend for next years TYs to go , it would be well worth it! Then we headed to the W.B Yeats Exhibition where we learned all about his life and his writings :) in my opinion, he had such an interesting life and his writing has such meaning to it. i would have stayed a little longer if i could have to read some more on his life! i learned so much yesterday that i really think will help me next year with the leaving cert :) and finally we went to see the play of "Juno & The Paycock" in the Abbey Theatre! i honestly wasnt expecting it to be even half as good as it was! it was a really great show, i must say! it really helped me understand the book better and even though some of the charcaters were not as i expected them to look they still all played their roles very well! I would recommend anyone to go and see, its well worth the money AND it isnt too expensive either!! I even came home yesterday and told my mam to go see it, anyone could relate to it because its set in Dublin :)
  Also to top off a brilliant day we were allowed have lunch on Grafton Street, which i really appreciate so Thanks Ms.L and all the other teachers who accompained us on our trip :) the majority of us went to Burger King or McyDees! it was so yummy!
  Anyway must go :), Geography Project calls haha
