TY retreat :)

On Tuesday we went to a Ty retreat in glendalough :) We went on the journey that St.Kevin did and Fr. Michael gave us the tour :) we went to see the old house that he used to live in and we went to see the old cathedral that St.Kevin built :) We also had time to reflect on ourselves and our lives and to notice at the nature :) it started to rain when we were meditating but it was very peaceful and relaxing :) 


One thing that Fr. Michael said that stuck with me was...
"We do not know everything about life , if you think so , you are mistaken".

Hotel Ruwanda :)

We watched a movie called Hotel Ruwanda in religion class and it was the same as Sometimes in April except different actors in the movie :L I prefered hotel Ruwanda because alot more happened in it :O In it there was a very smart man called Paul and he managed the hotel and many tutsie refugees went to his hotel because it had UN protection :) But the interhamwe invaded them and killed a few people but the UN stopped them and eventually they got trucks and rescued all the refugees and Paul and they were saved :D nearly 1 million people were killed :'(

Intel talk :L

The school had people from intel to come talk to Tys because there isnt enough people doing engineering and computer science in colleges so they are trying to recruit more people to get interested in it for the future and give more people more information about it :) I didnt really understand it because im not intrested in them jobs at all but some girls are defonitley interested in it :) They brought in some models of chips that take a month to make and there are over 100 steps in the process :O
