First Week Of T.Y.

My first week of T.Y.  was eventful. We had workshops on Wednesday, we got into our class, got confused about our options...a lot. I got sorted in class Belle, yeah we're named after princess, always dreamed of being one, not being in one. Some of my friends are in my class so it's a bonus.

Our workshops, well our first one was positive parties. We got lollipops and a lei's, the workshop was set to help us be positive about ourselves and just be us really. I spent a lot of time laughing and dancing. It was like a bonding exercise with our class, where we heard about the happiest moment of our lives, and learned how to think of them if we ever get nervous before an interview, class presentation or for me football matches. We danced to a couple of songs, one of my favourites actually by 'Olly Murs'.

Our next workshop was First Aid. I already knew some of the stuff we learned. like CPR and what to do if someone toke an overdose of pills or tablets. We learned how to bandage your hand up if you got burned or cut, by practicing on each other. I had fun wrapping my friend Serena's hand up. Our teacher Gary was funny and had great video's for us to look at. 

Our final workshop was...different and fun. We started by being in groups and wrote down a fact about ourselves that no one else would know, then we chose one and everyone else had to guess who it was. It was funny seeing everyone's facts. Later we learned about the right clothes and underwear we should be wearing and before we got to our hands feeling so smooth and smelling like lemons, we learned how to walk in heels and how to walk with confidence down a red carpet, sadly no celebrities were there. When we went back into the room we got our hands, cleansed in a type of cream and they all smelled different and when we washed them with water, the felt so soft and smooth, it was amazing and when we used hand cream, it was even more amazing.

We ended up with an eventful week in the end and I remember walking around, not knowing where I was supposed to be and then found out I was supposed to be in Art on Thursday...I can't draw at all, I'm terrible at it, we are drawing leaves from now on, I sat in between my friends, one in my base class-Emily, and Laura in another base class. Laura and I can just about draw while Emily is this amazing artist. 

Friday was okay, we found out who we had as our teachers and the rest of options, thankfully. I liked Friday mostly because it was a Friday and I could sleep but Fridays we watch a movie in Spanish so, it's a bonus.

I enjoyed my first week and when we went back in on Monday we cut out teddy bear templates for our bear in Home Ec, we also had History which I love. We also had double P.E., main problem is that not everyone likes doing sports, even though I do, double P.E. with our tutor is also different. We went on skateboards,balanced on benches walking up them with another six or five girls in front, without falling, it was like a weird trust exercise in the end.

I enjoyed my first week of school but wasn't ready for our results week in any possible way.
