"nice wig janice what's it made of ?" "YOUR MOM'S CHEST HAIR "

Hello random stranger ,
                                                              so today's wednesday the 21st of September , and I have come to the realisation that for the average  mundane there will be no excitement for a while , in their average and mundane lives , considering carlingford , results , and results night were all in the space of 3 days . Unfortunately for anyone who isnt in our year ( and Fortunately for Ty heads 2011-2012) we are far from "average" people . ZEE SCHOOL MUSICAAALLL  shall be taking place in december. BUZZ.  Also , its the sound of music , which is possibly the (4th) greatest  musical of all time ( I would say 1st 2nd or3rd but that would be a lie , everyone knows that Wicked , les mis , and Cats win hands down , unfortunately for me , the little mermaid was a movie before it was a musical so im not sure it really counts , though of course Ariel and her red mane would win  )
Anywhoooooooo ,  we're waiting on the results of the parts. Not as fun as one may expect , and if one would expect it to be fun they are blatantly wrong .

"What happens in Cralingford , stays in Carlingford "

So here  I am again , vacantly chatteing to myself about Carlingford , seeing as my last post was a complete understatement . It all began at 6.45 when the TY girls of 2011/2012 waited in anticipation of what lay ahead , and truth be told we hadn't  a notion of the events them 2 days would unfold ...
It all began with "lasering" , which was quite the experience . As a group of suburbian teenge girls, tan makeup and infact general hygiene were a thing of the past , a contrast to the hard core army suits and numerous pink wellies . Next came the activity that had everyone most excited , which was obviously lunch . I didn't realise how much I appreciated food until I was half way up a mountain with the other half to go . Then , came the groupo activities , and quite possibly the coolest person Emma and I came to meet on our travels , our instructor John , who Emma has come to idolise , and we have both come to love . I don't think I can say enough about John without making it an understatement , so I'm just going to have to leave it on that note . Between loosing the precious "gems" which were really just cool pieces of plastic , to getting stuck in a life size box in the pitch dark , the group activities were one of the best with some serious bonding occuring , but the best event of Carlingford was in my opinion Monday night , when the girls of St.Wolstan's met the boys of St.Mary's diocese . Between the singsong's and the banter , it was night to remember ! :)

Carlingford

On Monday the 29th of August I began my journey of  TY  , and 3 weeks in , and awaiting my results for Junior Cert today , I think it's safe today I had asbsolutely no idea what I was getting myself in for . It is absolutely amazing :) On Monday the 12th of September 78 sleep deprived girls  braved the cold 6.45 am winds at Esso , in anticipation for CARLINGFORD !!  we had THE  best time , I think it's safe to say it could have been the best ( and most eventful) 2 days of our young lives . From what I can only describe as a real life game of COD , to hiking up a mountain during the dreaded orienteering , we all bonded as a year , Mrs L , ms O'C and Ms B included :) If that was the  best part of TY  I will be happy , because I honestly don't think it's possible to top it  x
