Procrastinating in Class

Hey Everyone!

So this is a little extra blog post about The Life Of Me. At this moment I'm sitting in a computers/study class with my friends. Despite being in 5th Year, I actually have very little homework so far.

I guess this is because I just had a free maths class (supervised by my English teacher, awkwardly enough) and finished my homework there. So I'm sitting here, the class as quiet as a mouse, typing my thoughts silently. I'm tired and exhausted from school and work obviously, however it's only 20 minutes until lunchtime.

After lunch I have another study class, then Irish. I like Thursday's only because of the two study classes to be honest. What will I do during study? Who knows! I have some German homework and business homework to do. I'm also reading the third book in the series of 'Noughts and Crosses'' by Malorie Blackman. I've barely read 50 pages, at this early stage I can tell it's going to join my ever growing list of favourite dystopian books. I'd definitely recommend reading them. (I was not paid or sponsored to say that, just so you know. I literally just adore literature and reading. Oh well. BUT, if anyone did want to sponsor me to advertise their products, just email me *giggles nervously*

I'm typing slowly at the moment because the teacher is staring at the screen. He must think I'm absolutely bonkers! For ever in a crowd, alone but not lonely. That saying keeps echoing in my brain all the time, I have absolutely no idea why. It must be credible and true for it to be echoing and bouncing all along my brain like an ever constant buzzing or ticking noise.

11 minutes left. I guess I should probably wrap up this very impromptu and unplanned blog post before it gets even more weird, and not in a good way.

I guess I'll see you all when I see you.

 

I'm going somewhere interesting on Saturday which I'll be telling you all more about on Sunday hopefully!

 

Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless.

My Turbulent Back To School Week!

Hey Everyone!

It's been a CRAZY week in the Life of Me, I started back to school this week and I've been part of the J.O.A.L.L.A.P blog collaboration! Despite all the work I've been doing, I'm quite alert, hyper and giddy. Perhaps it's over-tiredness, I'm not quite sure!

I went back to school on Wednesday which, was eventful. I started in Fifth Year, last year I was in Transition Year so it was a huge wake up call on Wednesday. The teachers/principal began Assembly speaking about the Leaving Certificate, CAO applications and of course, university and college. What a lovely way to calm me, not. I literally left the Assembly panicking and hyper-ventilating. No, I promise I wasn't that bad however it felt like it.

So far I really like all my teachers, I'm doing all Honours/Higher Level subjects, yes even maths! I was delighted to have been put into all Honours classes. Based on experience from when my brother was in Leaving Cert years, it's a lot of hard work. Most of your time is spent working on projects, studying and revising. Which means less blogging time! I'm still committed to posting here at least once a week don't worry, I just won't be posting YouTube video's for the foreseeable future sadly.

It's the only logical decision as I don't want to stop blogging, YouTube takes up a lot of time. Between filming, editing and uploading it can take several hours. Blogging on the other hand, well I just type whatever what pops into my head. I do some brainstorming and write down what I have to include in that post. Perhaps over mid-term and other holidays I'll post videos. At the moment I have TWO recorded videos, unedited, but they exist!

I was studying for a few hours today (I did my homework and note writing last night) and I was revising my Irish vocab when my neighbours started shouting loudly at each other in the garden (something about a clothes line I have no idea) and I shouted in Irish back at them (from my bedroom) oops. In English, I said ''I'm not able to learn my Irish vocab because you're both shouting at the top of your voices in the garden, thank you!''  (I am a sarcastic person)

I've been in 5th Year TWO days and I'm already shouting at people in Irish. I worry for myself. I didn't even go on the internet for two days, which is a world record for me. I didn't even go on Twitter to see what Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil were up to! (Not even Tumblr!)

Also, it has come to my attention that several people from my school have been reading my blog! I don't post links to my blog on Facebook, only on Twitter & Tumblr, so HEY! So far I've had a fairly positive response from my peers. A cousin of mine also found my blog last week, I guess the secret's out! ;)

Also, in other very important news, an Irish poet (and an absolute favourite of mine) Seamus Heaney passed away yesterday at the age of 74. I know I'm not a literary genius or particularly eloquent, however I feel the need to express how literature has lost such an amazing person. For my Junior Cert, my main poet was Seamus Heaney, from what I can recall, I wrote about either ''Mid Term Break'' or ''Digging'' If you haven't read ''Mid Term Break'' I would highly recommend it, however I still cry after reading the poem. The last line particularly affects me, ''A four foot box, a foot for every year'' It sends chills up my spine, it's so beautiful and poetic, yet so deeply saddening.

R.I.P. Seamus Heaney, you will be sorely missed in the world of literature.

Who Needs Vid-Con When You Have Amusements?!

Hey Everyone!

Another week has come and passed! So the title of this post is about Vid-Con and amusements! I was devastated that I wasn't going to Vid-Con, (I will probably never get to go there, perks of living in Ireland) I'd love to meet Dan Howell, Phil Lester, John & Hank Green, Charlie McDonnell, Zoella and lots more people someday as I adore them all and they are my idols! . Maybe I'll go in a few years, if I'm lucky.

So I wasn't up to very much this week, until the weekend! I was working for the majority of the week which I didn't mind. I was up at 4 am on Saturday for work later on however I finished early enough so I went for brunch with my friend Shannon who was working with me that morning. I then got a text from my friend Vivien asking to go to the amusements with her and Grace (aka DaintySprinkles) so I went and we had an amazing time. Now, I have an insane fear of heights so I wasn't able to go on the higher amusements so Grace and I took photos while Viv went on those amusements! (See below!)

Hopefully by the time I have written this, my video will have uploaded to YouTube, if you could subscribe to me I would really appreciate it, I am a little terrified uploading to YouTube, it's one of the biggest social media platforms on the internet. I love blogging as I can write down what's going on, whilst blogging you don't have to make eye-contact with a camera, you just type whatever is in your head..

My YouTube Video *gasps*

Please don't hate me haha. 

Also, in the video you will see a toy puppy on my right hand side! It's a branded cuddly toy I got in the supermarket on Friday whilst shopping with my Mam, it's so cute, my inner child screamed to have it! I have a feeling I won't be letting my little cousins near it when they visit. (Yes really)

So the weeks are quickening steadily now, I've three weeks left in my summer job then I'm back in school (once again, explained in the video!) Which I'm really going to miss but I'll be happy to be back in school and see all my friends again!

Taking selfies at the amusements with our popcorn and candy floss! (I asked for the SMALL candy floss if you're wondering!)

Grace eating her popcorn 

Attractively eating my candy floss.. 

Vivien on one of the amusements I was too scared to go on.. 

Flying without wings!

Goodbye Matt Smith, this has been me for several days...

Playlist for this blog post: Ps I put my songs on shuffle..
