Staging Schizophrenia

On Tuesday the 27th of January after a lot of practise, writing, directing and stress it was finally time for the briery gap drama competition. My group had a play called Schizophrenia, which is about a girl who is struggling with the mental disorder of schizophrenia and how it affects her life. We were all excited to see our play come to life but we were also very nervous it would go wrong.
                  
When we arrived in Mullingar (The land of Niall Horan woop), we found a dance studio which of course meant Sadbh and I had to spend time in there dancing when everyone was getting ready. We quickly practised the play before we went on stage and then it was time for us to perform. As a director I was off stage making sure everything was running smoothly. Our performance went really well and we got quite positive feedback so I am excited to see if we made it through to the next round.
                                

Young Scientist & Basketball Baes

On Thursday the 8th of January the TY's and 2nd years went to the RDS for the Young Scientist exhibition. There were 550 projects at the exhibition which meant we spent most of the day looking at the projects and making friends with people who had projects there. Shout out to Gabe and the guy with the project about cities, whose name I do not know. Some girls from our year had a project in the exhibition, which was about the ideal conditions for learning. In my opinion it was the best but I'm a little biased because Emily the bae was part of the group.

On Friday the 16th of January, the first year basketball players that I help coach had their first match in Athlone, which meant I got to go and help. When we arrived everyone was excited and we made sure that even if we didn't win we would still smell better then the other team. Although they tried hard and played amazingly, unfortunately the girls lost but they are determined to win next time. The long journey home was full of taking selfies, talking and eating which made the time go by quite fast. It was actually one of the highlights of my year so far and I have first year baes now. If anyone of you are reading this hellooo you guys are fab.
