May 17th - 18th 2012

On Thursday nothing really happened in school.


On Friday I was supposed to have my Spanish Oral but Ms. Farrell postponed it till next week. Nothing else happened that day in school. After school I went out with Brian and I had a lot of fun as usual. 

May 15th 2012

On Wednesday I asked Mr. Corcoran if he needed anybody extra to help out with tonight's interviews. He was pleased that I volunteered and told me to be here at 6:30. We had to wear our uniform to it but I didn't mind. My dad drove me up to the school at about 6:20 and I went to the staff room and there was one other girl there and Mr. Corcoran was really happy to see us and he told us what we had to do first. He told us that when all the interviewers arrive at the school they will get some food and drink in the staff room and we had to get the food laid out on the table. There was a wide variety of sandwiches on big platters which we had to put onto plates. They was about 60 sandwiches  so we put 10 on each plate and tried to mix and match them. We also put a variety of biscuits onto a separate plate. After that Mr. Corcoran told us we had to get the rooms ready. Mr. Corcoran asked us who would like to be in charge of making sure that people are in the rooms and making sure people got here on time. I volunteered, so me and Louise were in charge. Louise was downstairs, I was upstairs. 


We went to all of the rooms upstairs because they all needed to be done up. We pulled up the blinds, stacked all the tables and chairs up against the walls and left the rooms how Mr. Corcoran wanted them. We also made sure there was pens, paper and water on the tables. When we were happy with all the rooms, we went downstairs and started greeting interviewers and showed them to the staff room and then we hung out in the 2nd year year mall until it was time to bring the interviewers to their rooms. A little while later people started to arrive for their interviews and it was me and Louise's job to make sire that they knew what room they were going to. 


I met up with Amanda and Alex when they arrived for their interviews and I started doing what Alex did on Tuesday night, talking to them and telling them that it would be fine and told them things they should do and shouldn't do. For the rest of the night it was just all making sure that people turned up for their interviews. Oriana didn't turn up for her interview though. Amanda waited till I was leaving and then her sister drove me home as well.  

May 15th 2012

Today was like any other day, with nothing really happening but after school I had my Mock Interview. I was really starting to feel the pressure of it because I get so nervous sometime that I just curl up into a little ball and I can't talk properly. My interview was at 9pm and Mr. Corcoran said that's it's best if we were there about 15 minutes before the interview. I went home and had my dinner and then I went up to try see what clothes went together. In the end I ended up wearing black trousers, purple heels, blue silky top and black cardigan. I was looking at myself in the mirror with them clothes on and my hair and make-up were done and I liked it and my legs looked really long because of the heals and trousers.


My dad dropped me up to the school at about 8:45, and Mr. Corcoran came over to me and said "Thought you weren't coming" and I just laughed and started to walk away and he said "Fashionably late" :L My interview was in room 29 so when I went there, I just sat on the chair outside the room and waited. I was shaking like a leaf. Alex cam over to me and sat down because interview was tomorrow and she was helping out with Tuesday's interviews. She sat with me for ages because Norma was till in the room. Alex was trying to calm me down and saying that it'll be fine and don't worry, so I started to calm down a little. 


I didn't get called until about 9:15, and then the door opened and a man called my name. I stood up, went over and shook his hand and tried to walk into the room looking really confident. I shook the woman's hand and then sat down. A part of me wanted to move the chair back because I felt I was too close them. The room looked empty with all the tables and chair staked up against the walls and just 2 tables and 2 chairs for the interviewers and a chair in front where I was sitting. There was only 2 things I was worried about, not having any eye contact with them and fidgeting with my hands. I tried to answer all of their questions correctly and didn't move my hands, didn't play with my hair, etc. They guy was scarier than the woman because he had really weird eyes. The woman was in the Hair and Beauty business but the guy only asked me questions about college courses and about starting my own business. The interview went on for about 20 minutes and I thought I did okay with the interview and they told me to go outside and wait. I shook their hands before I left the room and sat on the chair outside the room.


I waited for about 10 minutes and then when they called me back inside I shook their hands once again and sat down and awaited their criticism. This part was more scarier than the actual interview because they would be telling you what you did that was wrong and like what you could've done better. The man started talking about my CV and letter and asked me did I get help with them. I tried not to look too annoyed but then he went on to say how it was like an adult wrote it because it was so good. I was flattered and all I could say was "Thank you" They both went on telling me how my interview went really well and they get me some useful tips like when you want to get a job ask for unpaid work experience and then you'll get it easier. I was so pleased that they were saying loads of wonderful things about me and they even said that if this was a real job interview I would get the job because they said I acted mature and looked the part. I have to say it was a really worthwhile experience because I learned a lot from it and it was good practice for when I go to a real job interview/college interview.


My dad collected me and I went home and told my parents everything that they told me and they were both really proud of me and I felt proud of myself because I didn't think I could do it but I was just being myself and maybe that's better than trying to be someone that I'm not. 

May 14th 2012

On Monday, I was up fresh and early for school with a spring in my step. I was pleased that I had recovered from Grad Night over the weekend. Monday was a normal day meaning nothing really happened that day. You know what that means, this post is going to be only 4 lines long. Sorry O.o

May 11th - 13th 2012

On Friday after Grad Night I was shattered because I only got to sleep at about 4:30am and I was up at 7am. The sad thing was that if we didn't come in we would get in trouble so I thought I may as well come in. I looked a mess according to my friends because my hair was sticking up and I had last night's make-up still on me (as you do) :L


I tried throughout the day to listen in class but my head was thumping from the noise of the music at Grad Night. I was in English and we were told to go to the second year mall for a talk. When we got there Mr. Corcoran and Ms. Hughes were there talking to us about our Mock Interviews which were next Tuesday and Wednesday. They told us like what we should wear and how to set up the rooms were our interview would be taking place in. At the end he called people up to give them back their CV's and letters so they could correct them. I was suspicious to find that he didn't call my name, so afterwards I went up and asked but he said mine were perfect and that I didn't need to change a thing so I was happy because I didn't want to have to do them again over the weekend.


I could not wait for the bell to ring but I wasn't really alive to walk home. I managed to drag myself home and instead of going on the internet, watching television or even getting food, I went straight to bed and I fell fast asleep. 


My mam called me at 6:30 for dinner and I came down and my family said I looked like I had been pulled through a hedge backwards, meaning that I looked a mess. I did think when I came that I slept all the way to Saturday. But I didn't, as soon as I finished my dinner I went straight to bed but this time I put on the television, watched a bit or Corrie and slept till Saturday.


For the rest if the weekend I just rested really because my body ached because I wore heels on Grad Night and my voice was gone because I was singing, shouting and screaming. I was just tired really and I slept most of the weekend. I was glad because I didn't want to go to school on Monday complaining and all the teachers would've been giving out.

May 10th 2012

Guess what day it is? GRAD NIGHT DAY!!! 
I woke up and I had a spring in my step all day. I was on such a buzz. My tan looked really good, it was natural so I liked it. I went to school and people were even more orange than the day before. I wasn't even listening to the teachers all day because I couldn't think about anything else but that night.
Loads of people left early or didn't come in at all. I couldn't leave because in Home Economics I had to do a Taste Test and that was like near the end of the school day anyway so I thought there was no point.


I had my mam have my food ready for when I got home. So when I got in it was all about getting ready because I had to go to Brian's house at 6:30 and then we were getting collected from Esso at 7:30. So I ate my dinner so fast and then I moved onto doing my hair which I knew would take 1 hour 30 minutes. I was getting ready in my house by doing my make-up, hair and tan etc in my house and I would be getting dressed in Brian's house. I had my schoolbag full with my dress, high heels and bag etc. After my hair was done, my mam came up to my bedroom to help me top up my tan. I did my make-up while she was doing my legs. I tried my best to blend it in with my tan and it turned out perfect. My mam picked out what jewellery I should wear and the she helped me put on my false nails. At this point it was coming up to 6:15 so I rushed downstairs, said goodbye to my family, made sure I had my ticket and money. My dad drove me up to Brian's house but when I went into the house I was so hot and I didn't want to ruin my tan so I went upstairs to get ready and topped up on my make-up. Brian was already dressed and he looked really well. He was wearing black trousers and a purple shirt. When I came down he told me what every girl wants to hear "You look beautiful". His mam then came in and wanted to take some pictures. At about 7:05 she drove us down to Esso and all when we got there, there was about 200 people there already. There was only 3 buses there but I heard there was 2 more on the way. So when they came we ran towards the front so we could get a good seat and sit together unlike the other bus where you could've been sitting with different people. 


It took us about 20-30 minutes to take off because we were waiting on people who were running late and when we gave in our tickets a 6th year grad committee member ripped it in half and gave us a wristband to wear, it was purple so it matched my dress. Just before we left we saw this girl in like 7 inch heels running from Esso towards the buses, she tripped and went flying. It was quite funny from where I was standing but I would've hated that to be me. When we finally left we knew it was going to take a good hour to get there because we were going to the Solar Nightclub in Navan. There was a good vibe on the bus and everyone seemed really excited but everyone was drunk, which means halfway through our journey the bus driver had to stop. ME and Brian didn't get off because I would've like to use a toilet if I'm honest. When we looked out the window to the left all you could see was about 100 guys lined up against a fence having a piss. The people who chose to stay on the bus could not stop laughing, but then we looked out the window on the right and all you could see was about 60 girls hovering over the ground right in front of everyone, not even trying to hide themselves, they didn't seem to care but I found that to be a bit embarrassing to be honest. After setting off again, we finally got there about 40 minutes later and when we got there we were on Main Street in Navan. 


We started to queue up downhill because the nightclub seemed to be underground. The queue moved along quite fast and they were checking people's bags. It was like what you would see in an airport when you walk through the security gate and it goes off. Me and Brian got into the club without any hassle. When we got into the Night Club, there was about 3 floors, the entrance door was on the 2nd, and we weren't allowed on the top floor because it was closed off. So everyone went to the 1st floor. The place was amazing and there was such a good atmosphere and there was a few people dancing and everyone else was sitting down talking to people. The whole night was perfect and I was with Brian which was even better, he seemed like he enjoyed himself and he looked after me really well. Everybody looked beautiful  and I met up with some of the girls I knew in 3rd year. At about 1:20am I started getting a bit too hot and tired so Brian brought me up o the 2nd floor and we sat beside the door for a while until we had to get back on the buses. 


We got on a bus at about 1:50 and me and Brian were sitting with each other upstairs on the bus and I fell asleep on him for a while, then I woke up because all the guys that were upstairs were making so much noise. The bus dropped us off at Tesco at about 3:20 and Brian's mam was there, so she dropped us back to Brian's house so I could get my schoolbag because I needed it for the next day. My dad collected me at about 3:45 and when I got home I fell on the bed in my clothes. 

May 8th - 9th 2012

With only a few days to go until Grad Night, I honestly can't wait for it. It's been a while since I was at a Nightclub. On Tuesday 8th of May loads of people from 5th year and 6th year were bringing in clothes that they would be wearing  to Grad Night and people were coming in with orange skin because of the amount of tan they had on. Everything was going according to plan because I had my outfit, my tan and I got Brian's ticket off a 6th year. For Grad Night I had planned to go over to Brian's house and then his mam would drive us down to Esso. There was such a buzz going around the school because it was the 6th years Grad Night but 5th years could go if you did TY which I did but Brian didn't so he was going as a 6th years plus one. 


On Wednesday 9th in school we had a man come into the school to give us a talk about our mock interviews. The talk lasted 2 classes but it was really interesting, we learned about the do's and don'ts at a interview. Now that the Mock interviews were going to be soon, I started to get really nervous because I'm so shy and I didn't think I'd do great in them. After school I planned to put my tan on and then top it up on Thursday 10th (GRAD NIGHT!!) I didn't want to go too orange but just tan enough to hide the fact that my legs are snow white.
My mam helped me do the places I couldn't do and then she ended up doing all of the tan, got to love her :) I had also washed my hair as well so I wouldn't have to do it on Thursday. I got things ready like what bag I was bringing and what jewellery I'd be wearing.

May 7th 2012

Today was a Bank Holiday so we weren't in school. In the morning I was talking to Amanda and she said that Bridget had to go home at about 6pm. So what we did was Amanda and Bridget came over to mine and Rachel came as well but Katie couldn't because she had things to do. We spent a few hours on the computer looking at different websites and then I made some food which included Tesco pizzas, chicken nuggets and chips. Bridget is a vegetarian so she just ate the pizza because she didn't want any chips. After that I showed Rachel and Bridget my cabin which had a hot tub in it. It was my mam's birthday present a couple of years ago. They thought it was amazing and said to them that over the summer holiday that we could all get in it and then have a sleepover in my house, they all thought it was a good idea. We stayed in the cabin until about 6:20 and then Bridget had to get ready to go because her dad was picking her up at Amanda's house at 6:30. All the girls left at 6:30 and I went up to Brian and then he walked me home at 9:30.


                  Here are some pictures of the girls that we took

May 6th 2012

Today was the day that all the girls would be going to Spin City. The plan was that Amanda's friend Bridget Carey would be coming up from Rathcoole and she would be coming too. Amanda met up with Katie and Bridget and they all came to my house because I take the longest getting ready :L We set off to go to Spin City but we had to stop off at Katie's because she wanted to put on make-up. When we got there we hung out in her kitchen for a while listening to some music and dancing and taking pictures. After about 1 hour we went upstairs to Katie's bedroom and let Katie finish getting ready, so me, Amanda and Bridget went on Katie's laptop while Katie was getting ready. After about 30 minutes we left and were on our way to Spin City. It was a good 20 minute walk from Vanessa Lawns but we didn't care, we were all on a buzz. 


When we got there it was €1 to get in as always and we were given a sheet where is had 5 tokens on it where all rides were €2 with the tokens. We were thinking about what we wanted to get on first so we decided to walk around first, ended up we wanted to get on Sizzler. Seeing as there was only 2 people allowed in a seat, me and Bridget sat together and Amanda and Katie were sitting over the other side in another one. It went so fast that I felt really dizzy getting off that one, but that didn't stop me. Me and Bridget went on another ride on our own because the others didn't want to get on it. Throughout the day me and Bridget got on really well and I felt like I had known her for years.  We then went on the Waltzer which is the ride EVERYBODY goes on. It is really the best ride there because it is such a rush that you feel so disorientated afterwards you feel like getting sick. We went on it anyway and Katie didn't want to go on it because she didn't like it so she took pictures of me, Amanda and Bridget on it. It goes so fast and the guys who work on it spin you even faster and the music is so loud, it is the best feeling in the world. When we got off we went for a walk to take a break and then Amanda begged me to go on Tagada which is a new ride in Spin City and it is sort of like sticky wall because it goes so fast is forces you not to move. After about 5 minutes of her trying to convince me I went on it and again Katie didn't want to get on it so she took the pictures. It was so fast but it was really fun because it was going up and down as well and there was no seat belts. That went on for about  10 minutes and the other girls wanted to go on the Waltzer again. I said I didn't want to because I felt really sick, so I was the one taking the pictures. It ended up that we were near leaving but the girls wanted to buy some sweets and I thought it would be best not to eat anything and just go out onto the main road and wait for them. Walking back to Katie's house felt like hours walking up a steep mountain but eventually we got there and I had dibs on the downstairs toilet but no! when I got into the house the 2 toilets were being used so I had to wait.


We decided to stay in Katie's for the rest of the day and just have fun listening to music and taking funny pictures. That went on for the rest of the night really but at about 7pm Katie was going to phone Apache to order some pizzas. It was nearly an hour later when the man came with the pizzas. we had got 2 large mozzarella pizzas, wedges and garlic bread. It was so yummy and it filled the gap in my stomach. After that which would've been about 8:30, we all went into her sitting room and went on the Internet till I had to leave which was at about 10:20. We left anyway and I walked home with Amanda and Bridget because Bridget was sleeping over in Amanda's house.


                       Here's some photos that we took that day.

May 5th 2012

 On Saturday, I had planned to go to the playground with Amanda and her little 4 year old brother.I was looking forward to it because he is so funny. He has something to say about everything. So I went to Amanda's house at about 3pm, after about 10 minutes we set off. On our way there, me and Amanda were playing with Harry like holding his hand and lifting him up. It was a funny though because if anyone saw us they would probably think we were a gay couple with a young child. When we got there it wasn't too crowded and we stayed there for a good 2 hours. Harry wanted to go on everything and then these foreign people came in. They looked like a family from like Lithuania. They looked like a funny family because there was like a dad and like 4 sons and one of them was like really fat. We were all over near the basket swing and I said "Hi" to the oldest son as a mess, me and Amanda just started laughing. We started walking over to the kids part of the playground and the oldest son started calling after me. I didn't really acknowledge him but then the family started to follow me and the oldest son said "Miss wait, can I get picture with you" I continued to walk away and me and Amanda were in bits laughing. He eventually caught up with me and gave his phone to his dad and put his arm around me and took my sunglasses off me and put them on him. The dad took about 5 pictures and everyone (me, Amanda and the Lithuanian family) was just laughing. I stood there and took a few pictures and then they left the playground. I couldn't stop laughing and then we left the playground and we sort of followed them :L 




We went back to Amanda's house and we planned on staying in the house and playing games with Harry. Her mam was getting ready to go to the hospital because Amanda's dad got bitten on his bottom by a dog :L Me, Amanda and Harry went out the back garden and Harry was eating pizza and chips but when Amanda wasn't looking, Harry would sneak me a few chips. Me and Harry started feeding their dog which was really fun. After a while we all went inside and played a very short game of "Hide and Seek". Me and Amanda went on the computer and Harry watched the television. A little while later we all went out onto the trampoline and we took loads of pictures of us jumping up in the air. I kept getting electrocuted because of all the static and my hair was sticking up all over the place :L

After about 30 minutes Amanda's parents came home from the hospital and then Amanda's mam said that Sarah (Amanda's older sister) would drive us to McDonald's in Maynooth for something to eat. So me, Amanda, Harry and Sarah drove there and I got chicken nuggets and chips with curry sauce. Sarah also got food to bring home to Amanda's mam and dad. We drove back home and it was about 7 or 8 and me and Amanda wanted to go to Grattan Court, so Sarah dropped us at the top of our estate and then we walked up to Grattan Court eating the last of our food. We hung out there for a while but then we got bored and I had fun riding someone else's bike.

                                     Here is some more pictures we took that day :) 

May 4th 2012

Today when I woke up, I didn't really want to go to school, but I was happy to know that it was the last day and I had Monday off as well because of the bank holiday. Today in Biology I started a new topic, structure of a flowering plant, suppose it's a bit interesting but there is so much detail. That was okay but first thing in the morning it was a bit heavy. The rest of the day was grand and went by very smoothly and in Home Ecc we were put into the groups we would be in for the Taste Test. Me and Amanda are with Patricia and Louise, for the class we just talked about what food we would be testing and we cam to a decision of real Milky Way's and ALDI brand milky ways.


When school was over I wanted to go out because the sun was high in the sky. Amanda said she couldn't and Brian didn't want to, so I asked Rachel and she was up for it. 


In the end it was 8pm when me and Rachel finally met up which was a bit late but anyway we would make the most of it. We went over to Katie's house to ask whether she could come out and she said she couldn't. We went into her house after about 15 minutes of talking at her front door. Even though Rachel had to be home in about 1 hour, it felt like we were in Katie's house for about 4 hours. It was really fun. We took loads of pictures and had lots of fun. 




                   Here is some more pictures that we took that night :)

May 2nd - 3rd 2012

Today the day went by really fast as usual on a Wednesday because I don't have any of my option subjects on Wednesdays. We had Drama at 9:45 which is always so funny because our teacher Ms. McDonald is so dramatic when she's demonstrating on how we should be acting. The rest of the day went by really fast.


On Thursday, nothing really happened except for we watched a short film in our double Home Ecc class at 2:00 - 3:20. It was all on how most people can't tell the difference between food/ drink. They were doing this test where they had 3 cups and in 2 there was Coca Cola and in 1 there was Pepsi and the people doing the test didn't know which one was which and about 75% couldn't tell the difference. So our teacher Ms. McArdle said that we would be doing a test next week. In our Leaving Cert. Practical pink books, we had to prepare, cook and serve 5 different dishes and on the last part of the book, it was about the Taste Test. 


Last class of the day it was PE. and we were playing badminton. I don't really like doing PE all that much, unless it's something fun. Me, Amanda, Norma and Alex had a net all to ourselves so first it was me and Norma against Amanda and Alex, but then Norma begged me to switch places with her and I didn't mind. But after say 30 seconds I realized why she wanted to switch, Amanda was rubbish :L She couldn't hit the badminton ball thing if she tried and even if she did when I hit it back to her she dropped it. I mean I thought I was bad but after a while we stopped and got a tennis ball and just threw it over the net back and forth to each other, that was funny because Amanda couldn't catch the ball and had to keep running after it. Our PE teacher, Ms. O'Callaghan, was at the other end of the hall but she was laughing and looking to see where the tennis balls were coming from. Amanda and me were in stitches laughing and Amanda accidentally hit the ball towards a Lithuanian girl named Denora and it hit her in the face. She didn't really mind because we were like "SORRY!" 


Me and Amanda were laughing so much, I suggested getting a different ball. I went into the PE storage room where they keep all the balls, bats, and everything they use in PE. I found like a ball that you would use in dodge ball, so I brought a few of them out and gave one to Alex and Norma. Thinking that would be better, I took full advantage of Amanda by throwing the ball higher than her so she had to jump and nearly falling over. Ohh  that day was so funny and even when Ms. O'Callaghan told us to put all the equipment back in the storage room, Amanda slammed the ball on the ground and it went flying like a rocket up to the ceiling, hitting of it and shooting it way back down to the ground. I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my whole life. 

May 1st 2012

Today was a normal day as Tuesdays usually are. I started a new topic in Geography, India. So for my Leaving Cert next year I will have to learn about Ireland, France, Italy. Belgium and India. Great! My teacher makes it really easy to understand things because she explains everything in detail and gives us loads of notes on each topic with diagrams to make it even more easier to understand. The only thing is there is so much information to learn in Geography and everything is so detailed and complicated. I'm trying my best though to listen to everything she says and take notes on everything. The rest of the day went by very slowly and after school me and Amanda usually go to after school ECDL because we are a bit behind in our training but when we went upstairs to the computer room, the teacher who does the ECDL after school; Ms McGrath wasn't there. She is usually there at 4:15 so we waited until like 4:35 and then we just accepted that it wasn't on. Seeing as it was raining I asked my mam could we have a lift home. 

April 30th 2012

Today I had Biology and we were going to check our petri dishes to see if our agar had hardened. Ms. Felle checked them and they still had not hardened even though they were in the fridge for 3 days. So we had to forget about them and just look at another classes petri dishes. Their agar must of hardened within the 5 minutes and they had the whole experiment done, so when we looked at their petri dishes and we could see the yeast colonies already formed over the course of 2 days. We saw loads of pink dots where the yeast was growing.

After little break I had double Home Ecc. My teacher Ms. McArdle said that she was giving us a chance to catch up on our assignments, if we missed any but me and Amanda were in for all of them so we could make what we wanted. Me and Amanda were going to be baking chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cake. I brought in the ingredients for the cookies and Amanda brought in the ingredients for the chocolate cake and for the icing that we were going to put on top of the cake. We had 1hr 20 minutes to prepare and cook the food.                                                    

We  managed to make them in time and they looked very nice and tasty, the cookies didn't really look like cookies but they tasted like them so we were happy with them. We made like 15 cookies and a full cake so we got 7 cookies each and half the cake and we split the last cookie in half and ate it and it was absolutely gorgeous. I think me and Amanda are going to be the best bakers in the world :L 


At 12.40 I had a Geography test, which I wasn't really prepared for because I looked at my notes on Primary and Tertiary Activity in the Paris Region but my teacher Ms. Watson asked us to write about Secondary Activity which I find is always the hardest. I did the test anyway and I tried my best which is all you can do. Seeing as I'm doing Geography at Higher Level, I might see what I get in my Summer Results and if I don't do well I am considering doing Ordinary Level. 

April 28th - 29th 2012

My mam's birthday was yesterday on the 27th of April. She turned 46. Me and my brother Dean (aged 12) did not know what to get her and it's the same every year. My dad took 10euro off us to put towards like a food processor which was like 40euro. She seems to really like because it does like 8 things in 1. My dad also brought her to Blanchardstown and she picked out like tops and shoes and other things that she liked. When I cam home from school on Friday she was all dressed up and I thought that we were going out or something but she pampered herself because it was he birthday. She had a shower, put a colour in her hair put make up on and wore a new top. I saw the effort that she put into doing herself up but if that was me, I would not spend that much time pampering myself, even on my own birthday. Later that night before I went out my dad brought home a Chinese from our favourite take-away; Choys. I had my usual, chicken balls, chips and curry sauce. Truly my favourite Chinese meal ever!

On Saturday 28th, My mam, dad and brother Dean went to Punchestown, but I stayed at home because horse racing is not really my thing so I just told them to go off for the day have fun. I stayed at home and did ironing for hours, then when they cam home like 5 hours later I just went out with Brian and his friends, even though it was cold and rained occasionally we still managed to have fun. His friends are so funny, despite them being like 14 and 15 they know how to make me laugh and I have fun with them. Brian's friends are Lee, Tom, Andy and Craig. Even though I've only known them for like half a year, I like to think of them as my own friends. Everytime I go up to Grattan Court; where Brian and his friends live, we all just go Spar like 2 minutes up the road.  For the rest of the night, we usually just play football or sit on a wall and talk. Brian then walked me home at 10:30.

On Sunday 29th, Me and Brian were going to Liffey Valley to get my dress for Grad night. We were meant to be getting the bus at 2:50 but I hadn't finished my dinner or gotten ready yet and Brian came to my house, so he had to wait for me to finish and get ready, so we were going to get the bus at 3:50 but then my mam said that she and my dad were going to visit my nanny (mam's mother) in the elderly home so they would drop us on the way. That was grand they dropped us right at the door and we went to Boots first because Brian wanted to get some lip balm :L Then we went to New Look and I was nervous because I wasn't really sure if they had the dress because I seen it on the New Look website, so I hoped they had it.I walked into the shop with hopes of them having it in the right colour and my size. I found it! They had this particular dress in all different colours like red, pink, green, blue, purple, white and black. I got a size 6 and 8, because I wasn't really sure. I couldn't get into the 6 :L I tried on the 8 with my purple heels that I brought with me and I looked at myself for ages and took my hair down to see what I would look like on the night. I liked the dress a lot so I bought it. It was only €9.99 so I bought it. I was so happy that I got it, so now all I needed to get was 
tan but I'd get that later on in the week.

After I got the dress, me and Brian went and got a McDonald's. I got the usual; large chicken nugget meal with coke and curry sauce and Brian got like a double cheese burger with a milkshake. We eat up, went to the toilet and went to M&S because Brian wanted to buy cookies. We were waiting at the bus stop for a good 30 minutes and when we were on the bus, it was so packed, me and Brian we weren't even sitting beside each other. A few minutes later my dad called Brian's phone asking where were we. My mam and dad were in Liffey Valley and were offering us a lift home. We decided to stay on the bus and when we were coming up to Celbridge me and Brian ended up sitting beside each other and it was starting to rain. When we got off he bus we went to my house because I left my phone at home and I was going to get an umbrella. My dad gave me and Brian a lift up to Grattan Court and even though it was raining out we still met up with Brian's friends. After a while when everyone was getting fed up of being wet out in the rain. We ended up going into Brian's house. We scrolled through the music channels for a bit and Brian's friends were all commenting on how girls looked in their music videos like Nicole Sherzhinger and Jessie J. We then watched like a nature programme which was like fish of the sea and how there are so many that are venomous and I remember there was a jellyfish that was so deadly it could kill a human, but it was the size as a fingernail. I got a lift home by my dad at 10:00.

April 27th 2012

Today I had double Biology which I was looking forward because we were doing an experiment. Amanda is my partner for Biology and Home Ecc and I love it because she is so funny and we don't even get the experiments done properly because we mess so much. We made fungus! Well we didn't get the whole thing done because it took so long to make the agar which is a substance that is needed for living things to grow. It stunk like a pigpen and we were making it which seemed like forever and we put this liquid substance into an petri dish and into the fridge to harden which Ms. Felle (our new teacher because Ms. Kirrane is on maternity leave) would take 5 minutes. 15-20 minutes later while we were writing up the experiment, she checked them and they didn't harden so we had to leave them in the fridge over the weekend and then surely they would have hardened. The rest of the day followed as usual very fast.


When the bell rang at 3:20 I sighed with relief as another weekend was here. I love the thought of waking up later than usual and just vegging out in my bed watching TV until I receive a text saying "go on Facebook". Anyway I got home, got some food and watched TV will dinner and then I went out to meet up with Brian and we hung out up in his garden for a while and he started lifting me in all different ways, didn't know he was that strong. It was funny though, after a while we started walking down towards Tesco, but we walked past like 100 guys and they started shouting "GO ON CHOPPER!!" We just walked past them and I ran into some of my friends and they started like wolf whistling at us. I felt so embarrassed but  just walked past them and into Tesco, Brian knows this but everytime we go into Tesco I have to buy a little carton of milk for like 50 cent. I love milk, it's good for you :)  This time walking past all those people I felt a bit more confident and just giggled with Brian till they were out of sight. We stayed out for a bit longer and just messed about on the road and again he started lifting me up again, I think he's getting the hint that I like it. He walked me home at about 10:30, he's doing that a lot lately, walking me home even though I tell him I'm fine he'd be like "no I want to make sure you're safe" and I'd be like "Ahwwwwww" I love him so much and everytime he leaves my door he always says "Night night Sweetheart" which is the name of our song <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye7LZuZiXSY
