    I found out on Friday that I was one of ten picked to go to CIT for a week in October :D I'll be attending lectures and basically seeing what college is like. I'm excited but kind of nervous too, it should be a great opportunity though :)

    Hello I am invading from the 5th year OT thread because all the people from the JC thread this year are in TY :)
    Bonjour,
    I am Jijsaw, a person who speaks many words but understands the meaning of few.
    My motto is: I live to give (that is copyrighted i.e don't use it!)


    And my final words:
    Gossip is the devil's radio, as long as you hate, there will be people to hate

    There's nothing wrong with being homosexual :). If you're gonna have a crush, at least have it on a famous person ;).

    Well bro there we go, I'm a girl, who's real name may or may not be Jijsaw. You decide!
    Other interesting things about me:
    I'm the youngest in my family
    I'm 15
    I love reading
    I love music (wow Jijjy what an interesting fact :rolleyes:)
    I don't watch a lot of television but when I do its comedy and quiz shows (Monty Python's Flying Circus, QI, Mock The Week, Simpsons, Futurama, Father Ted, Fawlty Towers etc.)
    I have curly hair which is impossible to straighten
    My eyes are hazel

    We should meet up for drinks when we're in college lads... :)

    Pity, I'm in Dublin :) I've been looking everywhere for language classes for TYs starting a new language. There are a couple that look quite good but I'm the only one to have enquired and they need 8 people to run a class :( back to teaching myself I guess :)

    2 hours of Chinese every Wednesday from 2 until 4... Sorted!
    Only 10 out of my year doing it so we're doing it with the girls school 10 + 10 so a nice small class.
    Anyone else *have* to go plouging next wednesday? ;/

    I have a double Chinese every Monday morning :D I love it<3

    I wanted to go to the ploughing but wasn't able because second years and third years filled up the bus first </3

    On the bright side I have a TY team building day tomorrow and I got chosen to be a YSI advocate today so I have a training day all day Friday :) Also my name got put into a hat today for a German exchange which is completely payed for by the EU :D Hope my name gets picked!! We got told as well today that we're going on a European trip in Easter so hopefully we'll be going somewhere cool :D TYs looking good :D

    YSI? Haha.. we had that, it was turned into "Arcade class" we're building an arcade machine xD
    In our school a class is 40 minutes and there's 9 per day.
    We've Chinese from 2 until 4 on Wednesday, love it so far!
    I live in Carlow... Ploughing is like 20 minutes away...
    I asked my year head why exactly we're going and she said.. It's a festival! Le festival! (Some stuff in French) and finally... Fer de BANTERRR!
    I don't have school on Friday... Work experience!

    Sigh.. Boards meet up anyone? :rolleyes:

    The YSI advocate program isn't the same as the YSI competition :) Only ten schools in Ireland have the program.

    I think I may have organised a bus of people for the ploughing! :D #YES!

    Just back from the Ploughing :D It was unreal :)

    The last few days have been mental. We had a team building day (zip-lining is unbelievable. Honestly everyone should try it :O) and a YSI training day in Cork. I got voted chairperson on our YSI team and managed to secure a classroom (which is a very very hard in my school this year :P) and a timetable slot :) I joined the debating team and we've a workshop in UCC in a few weeks. I've gone to like two birthday parties last weekend and I've a wedding tomorrow :O On top of that my Leaving Cert classes are so busy! :o Biology and Chemistry have so much learning :mad:

    How's everyone else been getting on? :)
