Only on the day did it really hit me that I was getting my results back, I was so nervous and the tension caused by having us wait till 1 did not help but it was worth the wait, I was surprised with some of my results but generally speaking I am happy with what I got :)
From what I have heard, everyone did so well and were satisfied with their results ( I am so proud :') ) and this was defiantly a cause to celebrate :)

The Best Two Days EVER...
Prepare yourself, you are about to hear about the BEST two days TYs have ever had...
It all started out with some VERY tired looking teenagers outside a garage at 7:00am in the morning.
When everyone had loaded their bags onto the bus and found their seats, the three classes of Ty Eirú, Fodla and Banba set off for Carlingford, a little town in County Louth.
We went straight into activities the minute we arrived. Our first activity was good craic, we were put into teams and given different tasks to do and rewarded with jems :D
But that was nothing compared to our next activity...LASERS ! We all got into our army suits and hats and set off to the forest where ( after hiking up a MASSIVE hill ) we were given laser guns ( kinda like paintball ). We ran around the forest with our guns shooting the lights on our opponents heads, stealing data, hiding, collecting ammunition and screaming for the medic in panic as we feared a game over. Some of us formed alliances.
It was like a real-life version of C.O.D ( Call of Duty ) ! :D It was EPIC :D
After hiking down the dreadful hill and coming back up it again, we walked around the forest, guided by a rope, blindfolded. It was a great experience and good teamwork :) On the way back we crawled through a scary, dark tunnel that went underneath the church ! :O
After a good aul singsong with the lads in the other school and an unexpected fire dancing display, we set off to our rooms for a well deserved sleep.
The next day we set off for the hill ( yet again ) and began orienteering and archery. After finding all of the letters and figuring out the puzzle we were extremely tired and looking forward to lunch.
After climbing the hill one last time, we had a great experience of rock climbing and abseiling :D
We returned home sad to leave but happy to be back,
All in all, even though it was just up the country, Carlingford was an experience of a lifetime.
It was an Adventure.
:D

My First Attempt At Blogging...
You are now reading Alex's TY blog :D
Ty so far has been A.m.a.z.i.n.g , ive settled into all of my new classes and am really starting to enjoy myself :)
We have alot to work on so far...geography around the world trip project, young scientist, mini company and an irish project. Its alot of hard work but its made fun when your working with your friends :)
On thursdays Tys get to do activities for the last three classes of the day which include : Pilates, photography and 1920s dancing ! Its great craic making a fool of ourselves in Pilates ( well some of us ) dancing around with big cheesy grins and taking some um...interesting...photographs haha
Yesterday we had social development. It was really interesting finding out about all the different personalities and I think everyone learned something new about each other and themselves.
Today we had a talk from the youth cafe and I have a funny feeling some familiar faces are going to be turning up at the youth cafe very soon...
As I'm sure every other Ty is I am reaaaaaally looking forward to next week more than anything ! Up at 6:00am on Monday morning to go to Carlingford !! I am positive that it is going to be a buzz and three quarters ! :D
I'm dying to get my results back on Wednesday also and hopefully they will be decent...
That's all for now, tune in next week for the latest :D
