Today was the Eurovision Final. This year's Eurovision was being held in Baku, Azerbaijan. Representing Ireland once again was Jedward. I personally don't like Jedward because they are too childish but they're funny. Every year me and my family watch the Eurovision and bet who we think will win and whoever wins gets the money. This year would be different though because my mam and dad were going to a party, so it would be just me and Dean but he would've just been upstairs and I wanted to go out to Brian. So I asked Brian did he want to come over to my house to watch it with me and he said he would like to. I was pleased because it would've been fun watching it with him.
Earlier on during the day I was in Brian's just hanging out and his dad was at work and his mam was next door in Alex Condon house with his mother sunbathing out the back garden. Me and Brian watched some television and then when his mam returned into the house she suggested watching some of Brian's baby videos. I was looking forward to it because last week Brian saw mine so it was payback time :L We watched a lot of when he was about 2 or 3 and he was so cute. I thought it was funny when Brian's mam said "Brian's there's you!" and then straight afterwards she would say "Oh wait, no that's Alan, Sorry" I thought that was funny and I kept laughing everytime she said it.
Coming up to about 6pm I said to Brian that I had to be home for 7:30 because that's when my parents were leaving. Brian wanted to get his dinner first so after his mam gave him money we left to walk down to the village to get Brian some food. We went into Macari's and Brian ordered his food. He got a bag of chips and a quarter pounder, I think :L We then went into Spar opposite the bridge and got some other food and drinks, I got a bag of Cadbury's twirls for the party. When we were sure we had enough food we headed for my house, we arrived at my house at like 7:29 but my parents didn't leave until like 7:40 so we were grand. We sat out the back for like 30 minutes eating the chips and Brian was there munching his way through the quarter pounder. My parents came into us when they were leaving and said goodbye and said "Have Fun!". After we were finished eating we went inside at about 8:10 and got ready to watch the Eurovision.
We pulled down the blinds, turned the fan on high because we were roasting, we put on the television and had all of the food, we got and that my mam got for us, laid out on the table. Even though it started at 8pm, we didn't care because that's what's great about Sky+, we forwarded the programme to where the countries began to start singing. I did call Dean but he said he wanted to watch it upstairs because he was cleaning his room. Brian said his mam was collecting him at 11:30 when the Eurovision was over and we were both thrilled because he was staying with me even longer. The Eurovision was good and some countries were really good and had a good beat to it but some countries were terrible. Me and Brian were having a really good time singing along and dancing and eating food, it truly was a good night and then when Jedward came on we were cheering them on and I was singing their song, because I think it's a real catchy tune and I thought they would do really well in the competition. This is the song they sang. "Waterline"

When it was coming up to about 10pm we were both roasting and we had to go outside. We stayed outside for about 10 minutes an then when we went back inside Brian took his shirt off and just sat in front of the fan for ages. After a while he was starting to cool down because it was coming into the late night. We ate most of the food and then when the results came on we had our eyes glued to the screen. We were hoping Ireland would come in the top 5. In the end Sweden won with their song "Euphoria" Have a look at the song that made them the winners of the Eurovision 2012.

Last year Jedward cam 8th in the Eurovision, this year they came 19th. Maybe the will get the picture for next year if they try to represent us again. At least we didn't come last and all Ireland wants to do is get higher than The United Kingdom. We certainly did that because they came 2nd last. This was their song by Engelbert Humperdinck :L

May 24th - 25th 2012
Nothing really happened on Thursday in school apart from teachers telling us what would be on our exams. If I'm being honest I didn't study at all for the exams because I just didn't really get around to doing it and it was only the summer exams, they didn't really mean anything but I definitely am going to study next year for all the exams.
On Friday we had our end of year service so the whole school goes to the hall for about 1 hour and there's some reading and people just wishing us a happy summer and things like that. I like going to things like this in school because it gets us out of being in class. The rest of the day went by okay and I was happy that another weekend was here. Like I always do, I went out after school. I hung out with Brian for the night. I love hanging out with him because he is now a friend as well as a boyfriend. He makes me laugh like all the time and I have fun with him and even when we're not talking walking down the street we both just burst out laughing like we know what each other is thinking.

Today there was a few things going on in school. Now that we're coming to the end of another school year, it's that time of year again, In House Awards. I don't really care about them to be honest because I never get one so I wasn't surprised to find that I didn't get one this year. So there was the awards and then the plaques were given to Bebhinn Cullen and Saidhbh Houlihan for Music and Art. Everybody clapped and cheered as Bebhinn received the plaque because she is an amazing drummer and plays the drums at the school services like at Christmas and End of School services. I remember the last Christmas service, there was people singing "Do they know it's Christmas?" by Band Aid and Bebhinn was playing the drums and it made everybody stand up to see who was playing them.
I've known Bebhinn for over 12 years and for as long as I can remember she has been playing the drums. I remember being in her house once and the drums were so loud I was wondering did her neighbours complain, but she's really good on them maybe that's why they didn't complain.
I had my Spanish oral today and I was really nervous because I wasn't really familiar with what I was being asked on. We were being tested on our Role plays and I had spent too much time looking at the 1st one which was the easiest and I was hoping that she would ask me about that one. To my relief she did ask me that one, I was pleased because I aced it :L Ms. Farrell told me that I was really good at the Role Plays and that I was getting full marks for it but she did say that I needed to be careful with my conversation about my family and my house. I took that on board and was pleased when it was over.
I was in Irish and I was studying my Sraith Pictiúir and I thought I didn't have to do my Irish oral until Thursday or Friday because on the attendance sheet, my name is near to the bottom so I thought there was loads of people before me until MS. O'Connell called my name. I looked at her confused and then she hand signaled me to come up to her desk. I was scared because I honestly did not know this at all. The worst part was that we had a choice out 3 pages and there was only 1 easy one and I had to pick the hardest one didn't I. She gave me a minute to look at the sheet, like that would help me.
I got through it anyway and she said I had average skills of talking in Irish, I was happy with myself because I don't like Irish at all. It's not that I don't like it I just think it is so hard to learn.

Today was Sports Day in our school. We were allowed to wear our P.E. uniform to school and we had classes up until 12pm and then we had lunch at 12:00 untill 12:40 pm. During lunch everyone went out to the banks. There was a great atmosphere and everybody seemed very happy and it was sunny and the music was blaring. Me and Rachel, Katie and all of our friends found a spot on the top of the banks and we had a perfect view of all the activities that would be taking place at Sports Day. We decided that would go over to the speakers where the music was so loud and we were jumping up and down and singing and dancing.
I was having such a good time and everyone was enjoying themselves and all the teachers were out with us as well. It was really hot and you wouldn't think it because it was cloudy but it was like having a hot hairdryer blowing in your face for the whole day. I went over to the tables that were selling food and drink. I got a bottle of coke and a bag of Haribo. Me and my friends didn't really want to take part in any of the activities, we would rather look at other people do them and just go around having fun, taking pictures and messing.
It's always better when the teachers take part as well. For the first time ever the teachers took part in the three-legged-race and all I can say is that they really went for it.

Also every year the teachers play rounders with the 6th years. I guess you could call it a St. Wolstan's tradition because they do it every year. Everybody goes down to the furthest pitch and sits down and cheers on the teachers. It's always so funny because the teachers really go for it and it's just really funny to see your teachers letting their hair down for a change.
Here's some pictures that were captured on Sports Day.

On Monday nothing really happened in school. Over the past few days in English we have been looking at Casablanca for our comparative studies. The movie is in black and white so it must be really old. It seems like a good movie so far and we have gotten sheets off our teacher Ms. Mc'Hale which have questions for us to do so while the movie is on in class I usually take notes about what happens and then I can do my homework easier. Over the summer me and Amanda have decided to buy a copy of Casablanca so we can watch it a few times in full over the summer to become more aware of what happens in the movie so we will find it easy next year to answer questions. I don't know where you would get a copy of the movie because it's so old, Xtra Vision I suppose.

Today me and Brian just went out for a while which is what we usually do but Celbridge is so boring. There is actually nothing to do for teenagers so me and Brian just go for walks and hang out at Spar or at Tesco. We usually get bored after a while and just go into one of our houses. I made the decision that we go to my house, so when we got there we were just watching the television and then my mam wanted to put on baby videos. Brian said he wanted to see them so I didn't really mind. All of my baby videos I act so weird and I do weird things and Brian couldn't stop laughing.
We watched my parent's wedding where I stole the show, shouting at them when they were on the altar taking their vows and singing at the reception. We were all laughing and I was happy to see my family laughing and getting on with Brian and he really feels like part of the family now. I can't really imagine my life without him now. <3

Today was me and Brian's anniversary. We are now going out 7 months. I feels longer but I fell so happy and blessed because it is my first ever relationship and it's Brian's longest relationship so that must mean something. I wanted to do something special but neither me or Brian had money, so I decided to have a nice dinner in my house. After that we would both go into the hot tub for a while and listen to music. I thought it would be a nice idea to mark our relationship.
I told Brian to come over my house at about 6pm. My mam had gone out and bought 2 fillets of steak. She offered to make our meal and serve it as if we were in a restaurant, I thought it was a cute idea. I offered to help my mam to prepare the meal. I got the table ready in my dining room, but putting a red table cloth on it with red napkins rolled with gold holders around them, I put 2 yellow candles on the table and lit them and turned off the lights. I then started to put knives, fork and glasses on the table. I then went up to start getting ready and I already knew what I was going to wear. I wore black tights, a nice plain black strapless dress, black fancy jacket with a sparkly button and purple heels. I made sure my hair was nice an my make-up was good and that I smelled nice and went back downstairs to finish helping my mam with the dinner. Brian rang the doorbell and I freaked out, I answered the door and then brought him into the dining room and he was shocked that I made a huge effort to make the night special. He said I looked beautiful and then we talked for about 10 minutes and then my mam brought in the dinner.
I had a fillet of steak, chips and pepper sauce poured all over the plate and Brian had the same but my mam was nice and gave him 2 fillets. There was plenty of food and there was also garlic bread and onion rings but I don't like onion rings so Brian ate them. He seemed to be enjoying himself and we were talking and all I could think about was why couldn't we be older and this was a real date in a fancy restaurant. I was finished before Brian and then after we stayed at the table for a few minutes and then we started to get ready to go up to the hot tub. Brian got ready in the downstairs bathroom and I got ready upstairs and when I cam down he was in the dining room waiting for me. We both went up to the cabin and my whole family were there and they were saying how they were getting in with me and Brian. I knew it was a joke and then they left.
When we got into the hot tub, we just relaxed for hours and listened to music. Brian seemed to enjoy himself but after about 2 hours of being in the hot tub we both had enough. He had to get out anyway because his mam was collecting him at 10:30. I really hoped he had a good time and I had a good time and it was a good way of marking the occasion. Can't wait to see what he's doing for me for our 1 year anniversary :L
