Wow i feel like a college student!

So last week I had the week off school so i could go to DCU on a work experience placement. I worked in the sports department, here i attended fitness classes, got to work the events and even got to fit in some extra training too!
My first day was...eventful! I left the house at 7:50 to catch the 8 o clock bus, all ran smoothly enough until i was on my second bus out to DCU. See i got kinda distracted by my phone and just those 'first day' nerves, and next think i know i was outside IKEA!
Frantically i asked the bus driver where i was and how to get back to DCU, he told me that my stop was about 10 minutes back and he laughed. Then gave me the bad news that, that was the last stop and i had to get off ....
'you can't leave me here' i said almost in tears...but he explained that there'd be another bus back the opposite way in 10  minutes.
So when i finally got there, i was still 15 minutes early! How?!
Thankfully the rest of the week went pretty well, but i did feel kinda bad when some of the old women weren't struggling as much as i was with some of the classes...

And we're back ..

So after a great Christmas break, we're back in school and busy as ever!
We've had so much going on, i've had no time at all! Oh how i miss lounging around the house with 'nothing' to do!
We started off with our trip to the RDS, here we visited the BT Young Scientists Exhibition. Looking at the projects was really interesting, and they gave me some ideas for my own science project! Mrs L gave me the daunting task of doing an interview for Radio TY with one of the finalists. So we approached this group of students, who had quite an interesting project on the topic of sports science..
So we went away to do our intro, after they had agreed to speak to us, but when we returned they had ran away!
We were more careful with our next group, and didn't let them out of our sight at all!!
After the excitment of Thursday, came Friday! The junk kouture fashion show!
Junk Kouture was our home ec project for last term, we had to design dresses our of recyclable material..
It was quite nerve racking walking up and down the 'catwalk' especially when i'm not the best in heels!
My dress was called 'clockwork princess'. We made it out of polystryene and an old bed sheet, it looked pretty cool in the end:)

I'm really looking forward to this term, i'm sure we're gonna be really busy!
