whoever said TY is a doss year was lying. 

I never thought I would be so busy this year- it's only TY, right? Except that by week two of school i have five projects on the go and have already completed three workshops, not to mention a trip to carlingford adventure center.

So far we have had an etiquette workshop, a 'positive party' and have had basic first aid training. Walking around in six inch platform heels is not something I thought I would ever do in school, but i found myself doing just that down a red carpet no less. Our instructors corrected our posture and fixed the way we walked in our heels, all while blasting dance music in the middle of the second year mall. We learned things like dressing appropriately and how to take care of our hands and nails as well. 

The positive party was just what it sounds like-an hour and a half of dancing with underwear on our heads and wearing plastic flowers around our necks. 

First aid training is something i found interesting, as it is something that is essential to have. We learned basics like what to do when someone is choking, how to preform CPR, how to deal with someone suffering from a seizure and how to recognize the signs of a stroke. 

Its been a bit hectic, but i think we are all beginning to settle down in our new classes, named after princesses - Ariel, Aurora and Belle. I'm looking forward to beginning work experience next week, a bit nervous as well, but overall i'm excited for it.
