On Thursday the 10th of December, our whole year got on a bus to castle-knock to find our future husbands, jk. We visited Castle-knock college and as soon as we got off the bus we were split into our language classes, so There we stood, 60 girls covered in make up standing outside a random school in the middle of nowhere.
We walked in and the french students went into the first room and the Spanish students were led into another large hall, we had to sit down across from a lovely young boy. The German students were playing music and going around taking a video of all of us embarrassing ourselves. Most of the boys were nice with the odd few who were "too cool" to talk to us.
It was a great experience to see how the posh schools work, and had great fun seeing everyone doing their best flirting. The bus ride home was just filled with the girls gossiping about everything that happened and planning what they're wearing to Enrico's.

Mini Company
For my mini company I am in a group with Linda, Claire and Megan. We are doing snowmen made out of jars, It sounds weirder than it is. We bought jars and we are stacking three on top of each other, the bottom jar contains sweets varying from bon bons, maltesers, apple drops, candycanes and lots more. The second jar contains hot chocolate or sugars sticks, there are three different types of hot chocolate; cadbury's, maltesers and galaxy. The top jar contains marshmallows either mini white and pink ones or yellow and pink flower shaped ones.
To remember the french people who died in the recent bombings and shootings, we have made a french themed set of jars and the money we earn from it will go to a charity called French Secours Populaire. Which provides aid during emergencies in the county. Below is a chart of how the moneys money is being distributed.
Distribution of public generosity

- 56%: Social Missions in France (€ 12.2 million)
- 12%: Social missions abroad (€ 2.6 million)
- 15%: fundraising expenses (€ 3.2 million)
- 16.8%: Operating cost (€ 3.6 million)
- 0.2%: Gross fixed assets (€ 0.05 million)
I believe that it must be very hard for all the people in france at such a tough time so i think it nice to help as much as we can.
