Has anyone tried the Barbara Daly makeup range in Tesco? I bought some foundation, blusher and powder today and they're pretty good!! The Beige really suits my skin tone, and the Nude blusher isn't too OTT. So ya, I approve! =)
So I'm currently supposed to be writing an English question, but I have writer's block. Keeping Up With the Kardashians might have something to do with it......

not for any mere thing like a person, but for the holidays that were truly buried this morning. Halfway through double Irish, watching my breath fog before me and slowly losing feeling in my toes, I closed my eyes and could faintly hear my teacher talking about how some people think they're too good to pay attentiion in class, and it honestly felt like I'd never left.
I barely made it through the day, the only highlight being that my grinds teacher never called to say we were back, so more sleeping time for me :)
I feel really bad over my lack of work over the holidays. But, on the up side, I've topped up the old college fund (for the time being) and I got to relax. I also read "Sense and Sensibility" (which is not the second book to "Pride and Prejudice", before anyone asks!) and I really enjoyed it. I'm going to read another Austen soon, but I think I'll space them out because once I've read it for the first time, I won't be able to read it without knowing what's going to happen again!
But, that is as far as I stretched my brain these past 2 weeks. My bag stayed under the stairs until Sunday, until Mam's hints made me move it upstairs, so it would look like I was doing work. I did grinds homework and History, then I intended to study but just couldn't bring myself to do it. After 30 minutes of staring blankly at the book I re-located to the couch with my duvet and DVDs- bliss!
The most worrying thing that happened over the Christmas was that the inevitable happened- I am starting to doubt my first choice. At the moment it's Arts with Drama in NUIG, and I've wanted to do it since it started, a few years ago. But I never gave a thought to the work placement year. The third year is spent on work experience in a theatre, but I don't want to spend a year sweeping the stage, and then 4th year consists of writing two theses, in the two subjects I've kept on (at the moment- English and History/Irish) that relate to theatre/drama some way. So, on top of the stress of pres, pre orals, study, friends and the Leaving Cert in general, I now have the "Am I doing the right thing?" dilemma.
Oh, and we started a new topic today in History :) We have 5 weeks to our pres. 5 weeks to do all about Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler. And it took us a month to do the Apprentice Boys!! I'm not looking forward to the next few weeks :( And ye are all going to have to listen to me!
Cheers

By the way- kudos to whoever re-vamped the blog. Loving the new skin.
Since I'm going to be blogging to the world for the next few months, I thought I might tell ye a bit about myself
My name is Caitlin, I'm 17 and live in Tipp. I do English, Irish and Maths, along with German, Art, History and Home Ec. Next year I'll hopefully be in Galway, doing the BA Connect in Theatre and Performance, with English, History and Irish. I'm looking at about 500 odd points though, so be prepared for major panic attacks on this thing!
I go to an all-girls convent Catholic school, about 600 students, and one of only three secondary schools in the area. In the school itself I'm on the student council (PR Team), Grad Committee, Yearbook Committee and at the moment I'm organising our traditional 6th year Christmas sketch, we started on Wednesday and we're putting it on tomorrow- stress! But, we're nearly there!! I'm doing Honors in everything except Maths, and OMG pass maths is a godsend! How did we live without it?
I like most types of music, it'd be shorter to tell ye what I don't like, which is heavy metal, chipmunk dance shit, rap and not too much classical. Everything else I have on my iPod.... I love reading (my ultimate fav is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, we did it for Jr Cert and I fell in love!), listening to music, shopping and (of course) going out.
I'm prone to using bogger phrases, being from Tipp, and I'm told I talk like a townie. I have 2 dogs, both small little ones, and I have a teeny bit of an obsession with "Glee". I love musicals, plays and hope to someday be an actress (fingers crossed) but of not, I wouldn't mind maybe teaching or maybe PR for a company? I don't know though, ideas are always bouncing around my head!
So, thats me, I look forward to future blogging :)
love,
Kate
