I'm never going to be in the army

Well yesterday we went to brave force , we did this army assault course .... it was so hard . We had to go under thees tunnel things - in the mud . We had to jump over hurdles that were taller than me ! . We had to go through muddy water like a million times .. the water went passed my chin !! the smell was horrific it was disgusting . We had to climb up things that were really high , I'm afraid of heights so that scary . Its hard to describe the stuff that we did . The best thing is to visit www.braveforce.ie then you can see first hard what we went through . Even though it was really disgusting i have to admit I had fun ...sort of :) . I do think that everyone should do it because after ward , after the shower and when you can feel your arms and legs again you are glad that you did it ! i was anyway :) ......I still don't think that i  will join the army any time soon  .

sometimes in April and hotel Rwanda

So this week we learned about conflict and watched two movies. one was called hotel Rwanda and the other was called Sometimes in April . The conflict in the movies was devastating . The movies taught me a lot but I don't think i would like to watch them again , because they were so sad . what was happening in Rwanda was horrific . I was really upset to learn about what the people of Rwanda suffered through  . 

Drumming

This week a man , i can not remember his name , but Emma r says his name was Dave , so I'm going to take her word for it . he came in a gave us a workshop on African drumming . We spent the day playing drums like the jimbi - probably spelled wrong . It was so much fun we learned a lot of cool rhythms and stuff and they actually sounded really good . I really enjoyed it .

work experience .....

Last week we all went on work experience , again . this time I went to a hotel . In the hotel i was a waitress . All day i was giving people coffe and tea , and serving food - that wasn't bad , i liked that part of work experience .
What I did not like was cleaning . in the hotel i had to scarpe filthy plates into a bin like thing , i also had to put people's USED tissues  into another bin ....it was disgusting to say the least .
I also had to go into what was like a shed to get ice ...it was cold but it was grand , i didn't mind doing it .I had to set tables - i liked this i mean i like making things look nice so that was good thing  .
 I spent a lot of time polishing glasses , knives , spoons - desert and soup spoons and forks . There was a lot of things to polish . I mean it was ok but I was on my own doing it and i like working with people  .
Back to the positieves the people were so nice , they have to be the nicest staff ever .
 Another positieve was there was a wedding on , i didnt get to see the wedding or the wedding dress - but having to geting  ready for the wedding was a great buzz .I would have loven if i fot to help organize the flowers and the colour scheme of the wedding , but i was happy enough just having everything perfect for it .
By the end of work experience i learned the hotel work wouldn't really be my calling , but being a wedding planner could be fun .
If i was offered a summer job in a hotel , i would take it cause overall there was more positieves the negatieves .
