Carlingford (:

Well we went to Carlingford like a week ago.. :/ but better late than never :P


So we left super early (like 7am!) from the petrol station and we got to Carlingford in an hour or two. The journey over there wasn't as long as I thought it would be, but I was SO tired :o When we got there it was really windy, so windy that we couldn't do any of the water activities :( We all dumped our suitcases and bags and stuff into a room. It was clear that many people (including myself) seriously overpacked :L
We still did loadsa stuff there though. On the 1st day we were all separated into groups, so we did the same stuff but at different times. First we did group activities, they were mainly to do with how you communicate with other people. Like we went to this trailer yoke with a dark maze thing inside it and we had to find our way out D: scary stuff.. :L
Then it was lunch time after that (thank God, I was starving!). The food there was actually nice enough, we had chips and sausages for lunch :)
We then got into these army suits and went for a very long walk to a forest where we did laser shooting, which was really fun :D
When we got back to the centre, we got our rooms. They were really nice with a few bunk beds and an ensuite ;)
There was also a little room with a fireplace and a couple couches downstairs :)


The next day we did rock climbing, absailing and orienteering :D I liked the rock climbing, but the guy there dropped me by accident, so that wasn't great :L The orienteering.. wow. There was so much walking!! And we lost two people along the way (but they were fine in the end :P). But it was actually pretty fun :)Then we got our bags and got on the bus :'(
It was a fun 2 days :D

Social Development Day (:

Tuesday was Fodla's Social Development Day with Austin Dunne. We were in the library for the day (: It started off with us pairing up and then asking eachother questions like our hobbies, achievements and an embarassing moment :L 
After that we all made posters of what we wanted to get out of the day. He talked alot about how different people perceive things and showed us some optical illusions. It was fun to see what different people saw in them ;)
Then we did this thing where we all picked 8 cards. There were 4 colours: red, yellow, blue and green. We had two of each card and they each had a different statement on it depending on what colour it was. We had to pass the cards around and collect the ones that describe us best :) The colour card we had the most was our personality type. I ended up with two of each card again, so I just went to the yellow group because I didn't know where else to go! In our groups, we had to make a plan out to save Christmas because the elves won't work :/ Our group came up with ideas like making the elves coffee, play Christmas music in the background and come up with elf of the month so the elves would want to work :D but we found out that elf of the month wouldn't work because there was 3 weeks 'til Christmas!
Overall, the day was really good and I think we all know eachother better now :)

TY Blog

We all made our blogs this morning, so I suppose I’ll make a little post on what we did today!

So we had our first photography class today with Rob Love ;) Got some good tips on taking pictures!

Then we went to the 2^nd year mall for pilates - it’s sort of like yoga. We had our own little mats ;D we were a bit smushed together but it was still really good :D

And after that we went to the library for dancing - it was so much fun, but the room was roasting :o we did the Charleston :L

It's been a good week so far, looking forward to Carlingford already! :)
