It's almost Christmas!

Yesterday was the last day of tests and today while the rest of the school were doing the rest of their exams we had our Christmas party in the library :) We did Kris Kindle and had loads of food (too much food, actually..) and made big bowls of hot chocolate :P Then we went bowling! I came last, of course - even with the bumpers and the ramp thing :'( Oh well... :D It was a good way to finish off before Christmas : )

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas! Looking forward to Santy coming! ;D XoX

Desert Flower

In religion we learned about the Millennium Development Goals. One goal our class focused on was gender equality, so we watched a movie about a Somalian woman named Waris Dirie who was forced to undergo female genital mutilation when she was a very young girl. She had to do loads of work and at the age of 12 she was getting an arranged marriage with a much older man. So in the middle of the night she ran away. She travelled for days in the heat with no food or water. Eventually she got to the city to meet her distant relatives, who sent her on a plane to England. She ended up in the Somalian embassy, where she was treated like a slave. A couple years later she got a job in a fast food restaurant and was spotted by a famous photographer. She soon became a well know model. She know is an advocate for other women like her and is working to stop female genital mutilation. We all made mood boards about the movie.. this is mine and Caoilfhionn's one... :L

Eye Candy :)

For mini company, we are selling instant eye shadow called "Eye Candy". They come in all different colours and designs and I can't wait to start selling :D They will be €4.50 each and we are hoping to sell them this week!


We have a non-uniform day tomorrow and the Carol Service will be on this Friday. It also snowed today, but it doesn't look like it will stick :( So it's a good week!
