On Wednesday the 24th of September,It was the day we started our work experience.For my work experience I went to a beauty salon.We started at 10 am and ended at 3pm.
I was very nervous because It was my first day and I was kind of worried.But as the day went on I shouldn't have worried at all.Everybody was very friendly and kind.
I wasnt the only girl on work experience there,their was also two other girls.We were told to clean and help out on anything that was needed,also answer the phone if it rings,as our supervisor was busy with students for a majority of the day.
Our lunch break was at 11:30 and it was until 12:30.It was handy having Halo Cafe next door as we didnt have to go far.When lunch was over we went back in and made coffee and tea for the students,then they left a while later.When they left we cleaned the room that they used.
Afterwards we lit candles and incense and placed them around the salon.They smelled lovely and they looked really nice.
Our supervisor informed us that next week we will be models, for the students that are studying beauty.We will also be working like normal as well.
I really enjoyed my first day at work experience and I cant wait for next week.

Carlingford Adventure Centre
On Monday the 15th of September we visited Carlingford Adventure Centre.We set off at 7am as it took approximately 2 hours to get to our destination.We stayed there for two days and one night.
When we arrived we were all so excited,we were brought in to a area where the instructors introduced themselves and gave us our keys to our accomodation.
We were divided in to two groups,group A and group B,I was in group A.First activity of the day was to do with water.We started off with Canadian canoeing,we stopped off at a cave and one by one we sat down and got ice cold sea water thrown on top of us.We also did other activity's while Canadian canoeing eg.went on a floating trampoline.This was lots of fun we were all so tired and exhausted afterwards.
When we returned from Canadian canoeing we had lunch then set off again to do activities in a sky climb course area.We didnt go on the sky climb course,instead we did other activities like a Human Maze and all activites that we had to work together as a team.
After our long walk back from our activities we had dinner then we had some relaxing time.Later on that evening we set off for a hike up a mountain and stopped off at a forest to play a blind fold game in the forest.This was lots of fun except for when I walked head first in to a tree.
After our hike we had free time until 12,then lights had to be turned off,we all got chinese take away and settled down for the night.
The next and final day we got up bright and early at 8am and went down for breakfast and then we were back into the water again.We all did kayaking which was very fun and we swam out to the trampolines and did fun games.After the water sports we did Laser Combat in the forest which was so much fun.Personally it was my favourite activity out of the whole trip.
At 5pm we all said our goodbyes and got on the bus for our journey home.Carlingford was a great trip and I really enjoyed it and I hope to return there in the future.

Workshops
On Wednesday the 3rd of September we had a full day of workshops from Positive Parties to First Aid class to Etiquette Class.First class of the day was the Positive Party.The Positive Party was great fun we played fun games and also learned to think positive when we are nervous.I really enjoyed the dancing,we had a laugh.It was all a bit different to what I expected.We also shared all our positive expierences.
After break we had First Aid class,this was the second class of the day.This class was great for our knowledge and will come in handy in our futures.In this class we learned all the different skills like the recovery position,CPR and how to apply bandages,casts etc.We also had great fun acting out all of these skills.They will defenitly come in useful.I really enjoyed this class.
After First Aid class we had lunch time.Then it was on to Etiquette class.This class was my personal favourite out of all the classes.In this class we learned how to walk elegantly in heels and in our normal shoes.We also learned about personal hygiene and how to take care of ourselves.The last part of the day in Etiquette class was when we got to expoliate our hands,this was great fun and our hands were so soft and they smelled amazing.
Over all I really enjoyed these workshops,they were helpful and enjoyable.I can't wait until our next workshop.These skills will defenitly come in handy in my future.This will be a day that I will remeber.
