Wow.

Just today I found this great website- I think it's a blog and it shows different ad campaigns that are really powerful. It's called osocio.org - and it is sooo good!

I copied one from there just below:

Beijing Olympics: China is getting readyPosted by Marc 25-03-2008 21:29 Category: Beijing Olympics, Human rights, Politics

Three print ads from Amnesty International in Slovakia. China is getting ready (for the Beijing 2008 Olympics). “In the name of ensuring stability and harmony in the country during the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese Government continues to detain and harass political activists, journalists, lawyers and human rights workers. Get involved: www.amnesty.sk” Published: September 2007 Thanks Nedra Advertiser:Amnesty International Slovakia Agency:MUW Saatchi & Saatchi, SlovakiaSource:Ads of the World

So anyway, you should visit the website. It's really interesting. Don't forget-

Well, see you all later!

So, I haven't been back for ages. So sorry.


Well last weekend was Easter, and although technically it still is, that was the main event. Anyway, we had our all-night vigil, and I wore my new shoes to it- my first heels (almost 16 and no heels, gosh), which were a bit flapper-style but sort of modern too. I might show a photo of them soon.


Anyway they were quite high and afterwards, when I took them off, I swear I thought I was going to need physiotherapy. They really did hurt that much..


The baptisms were interesting, because Pietro (son of Monica and Pino) panicked at the sight of the water, and because we do full-immersion baptisms, Pietro almost drowned. The priest ducked him under, and he came out, but just as Pietro began to take a breath the priest dunked him again, and a third time, and each time Pietro came up he was gargling and crying. Poor thing! Francesca's brother, Andrea, got baptised too.


It was all pretty good.





Lastly, I'm looking forward to this week because tomorrow, Monday, Bell Shakespeare come to the school to do a workshop, and last time they came it was awesome. So I hope this time it is too!


And on Thursday, Marist is holding a concert as a fundraiser for Father Frank Jones, and most of my friends and I are going! The school only got 100 tickets and I got in early so I got number 9. That was pretty awesauceomely cool.


But unfortunately school generally isn't going so well- we are being bombarded by so many assignments it isn't funny. I'm not handling the work load very well, and so I can't do my best work on all my assignments because of the time frame we're given.




Family/home is quite stressful too, but I'm trying to get as much time away as I can so that I stay sane!


Anyway, hopefully things will get better.



Love,



Catherine



P.S. Photos above are from our History excursion last year- the stairwell in Vaucluse House, and on the way back from Vaucluse house.

Welcome to the new one!

Hola, mi amigos. Catherine here, glad you came to visit. If you want to see all (or most of) the background info on me, make sure to visit my old blog,

aheadofflames.blogspot.com

Hope you enjoy it. I just hated the URL I chose so I've changed.




Well, below are some pics for you:

- My back yard.

- Part of my bedroom.


So yep, there's a little insight in to my life. I'll be back soon to update!

Maybe I should get back to my art homework... Hmm, yes.

Auwiedersehen (is that how you spell it?),
