Braveforce

Apart from Carlingford it has to be the best thing we have done in TY so far! When we arrived there I was a bit scared I didnt really know what to expect and especially with the other schools taking it so serious didnt really help either.But running around in muck,jumping in to water and climbing big obstacle is my idea of fun so i loved it and we also got a trophy out of it at the end.

Work Experience

Last week I began my work experience on the 27th February.For my week of work experience I went to Bon Bon cafe in Maynooth. My mam told me about the new cafe and so I gave in a letter to the manager and she rang me back a week later to tell I have my placement.
On monday morning i started at 10,when i got there they sent me straight up the the kitchen with the chef. The cafe is really busy every morning with breakfasts so i went straight in to helping them out.I was preparing the sandwiches and the salads for them,but the boring parts were when i had to do the chopping like a BIG BAG of onions that burned my eyesI was aloud go down for my break at 12:30 or 1:00 to the cafe.Everyday i was finished at 4.My first day was good. Unfortunately everyday was pretty much the same because each week they stick to a new menu so i was making the same things for the day after.I dont know how the chef does it as a career because after a week my back was killing my from standing up all day and lifting heavy boxes.
My last day was a little sad because i spent the week with the same two girls and got to know them.This week im going to give in my cv and hopefully they will consider me for a summer job :)
