CARLINGFORD BANTS ( sorry extremely late just forgot to post it..:/ )

Last week started off as a very exciting week on Monday morning we headed off to carlingford adventure center. I woke up at 5.30 in order to be on time so i wouldn't miss the bus because that wouldn't be good at all! I arrived at Esso at around ten to seven and had to wait around for a little while as people slowly arrived. I was so tired when i arrived and not in the best of moods as i am not a morning person in any way. We got on the bus around 7 and headed off to carlingford. we got there around 9 o clock. When we got there we were split in to our two groups A and B I was in group B with all my friends. We then received our rooms. We had a room with eight beds but we had nine people. We were forced to make Emer  a bed on the floor. Poor Emer !! We didn't have much time to settle in as we had to go do our water activities.!

      Kayaking was the first activity of our stay. Before we could get anywhere near the water or boats we had to get into the very glamours clothing called wet suits we all looked fit for the red carpet. to top the look off we had a lovely bright yellow helmet and a life jacket. We then got into our kayaks Hannah,Lauren and I were in the same boat amazing team we were going at 90. We then  got out of our boats to a little beach and played some games. It was an amazing way to start our trip. 

    Lunch  was okay. After lunch we were straight into our lunch activity was Lazer Tag !!!!!
It was one of the top activities of my stay. It was so much fun I wish we got another opportunity to do it again !! We then came back for dinner and had time to hang around. Me being me I of course had to stuff horrible sour sweets in my mouth to see what t would be like. Due to the sugar content of these sweets it of course  made me very hyper but hey it just added to the fun for our next activity, which was hiking up a mountain for a long time to end up where we were for the lazer tag. We were blindfolded and told to hold onto the persons shoulders in front and a rope that went around a path and as a group we led each other trough the  forest blindfolded. It was hilarious as Lucy was not so good at warning on when a step or drop was coming up -_-  thanks for that Lucy.
    Afterwards we had time to change in our Pj's and get chipper or Chinese if we wanted.  As i was Lauren's birthday we went to the games room and held a miniature disco it was probably the highlight of the trip.
    On Tuesday we had canoeing as our first activity and got to jump off a water trampoline into the see it was soooooo cold!!! We had lunch and the went to our land activity. It was like an outdoors version of crystal maze we as a team had to figure out all different puzzles to get a gem. Lets just say it definitely made everyone hate each other  not the best bonding exercise. haha!!
   Carlingford was amazing and i would go back there in a heart beat and all the instructors were lovely aswell.!!:)

Fashion Show!!

Well we had our fashion show this week after all the blood sweat and tears its over! It went absolutely great. We had to nights for the fashion show which were Tuesday and Wednesday. I think we are all glad  its over and happy on how it went. Everyone looked great from the dancers to the singers to the models. Everyone knew their job and went for it. The models were excellent and some should have a think about joining a modeling agency!! The dancers were also amazing from the songs they picked to the moves they did everything was so clearly thought out. I myself played guitar for my T.Y. Music Group which involved Hannah, Eve, Clara, Dearbhla, Aoife, Eimear and obviously myself. I also played guitar for the Christmas Carol performance I will not list the names as there is waaay to many!!! Both performances went well on both nights. My favorite performance?  the Ballerinas and the Irish dancers.
              I should mention that all the clothes were given to us by different shops around the place for example people modeled clothes from New look, Oasis, Only, Born, Dunnes etc. We even had a bridal wear section which was modeled by some of our teachers and a sixth year. They all looked amazing and ready to walk down the aisle. There was also models from Salesians school that came and modeled suits. I must say they all cleaned up very nicely.  Now that the fashion show is over I  think everyone is going to be a lot more calm and not strung out on stress!!!

P.S The teachers entertainment was well very...very...Entertaining.
