Year 7 Camp

I can hear…… the whistle of the wind flushing my eardrums.

I can see…….. The little dots of people waiting for the t-bar.

I smell………… the cold air whipping at my hair.

I can taste……. the cold breeze blowing over the fields of snow.

I can feel……… the chilly air rushing into the tops of my gloves.

Fresh Beats Friday

Galway Girl

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was one of my friend's songs do you want to drink on?

She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as shot gun
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

With my pretty little Galway Girl
You're my pretty little Galway Girl

You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called, was when she stood on the stool
After dancing to Cèilidh, singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
Acapella in the bar using her feet for a beat
Oh I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room, swear she was singing to me, you know

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

My pretty little Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl

Now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night

I walked her home then she took me inside
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm going to put you in a song that I write
About a Galway girl and a perfect night

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

My pretty little Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl
My my my my my my my Galway girl

Chapter 1
Once upon a time there was this girl and she wanted to meet a girl called Lizzie and she was a great youtuber and her youtube name was LDshadowlady she did crazy craft and lots of weird computer games and stuff like that and all that girl wanted to do was see her the girl's name was Mackenzie. Mackenzie was a girl who had not many friends and the only friend she could trust was her best friend Caitlin they were really close friends. Kenzie loved playing with Caitlin but then Kenzie's mum shouted “ I WON LOTTO!” and we said” how much”  mum said “3,0000 Million ‘can we go to Britain and America” we said and mum said yes and when we got to the airport we said where is the border mum said we are going on first class everywhere girls.

                               Chapter 5
We got on the plane safely and listen to music i listen to my favourite song can't stop this feeling and caitlin was too.
As we grabbed our bags a nice french man took our luggage to our van and we set off to our french hotel yes we were in france we were so tired and when we woke up guess what it was my BIRTHDAY yay. We got to go and take pictures of the eiffel tower and we went to a french cafe for breakfast and i got a croissant same with everybody else and it was so fun.

What Does Change Look Like For You

This is what change looks like for me




Reflection:  This is Mine and Kiera's, Hexagon Life line and it was about change and experience. I liked it because it was about writing your own life.
