Dia duit!
(If you're wondering what that means: its 'Hi' in Irish - or that's what Google Translate taught me!)
Well this post is going to be interesting, just like my very interesting life...
You must be wondering - Irish (? is it not supposed to be Gaelic?) literature (can Irish even be written?) ... Okaaay ... debating is understandable that's natural for you, you do it on a regular basis ... but what on earth is a girl (?) gambling for???
Well, that is life in IB for you: everyday is a surprise!
Well, my day started with completing my Math Portfolio which mathematically a dice game between some two people called Ann and Bob (Could someone be more imaginative? well I gave them the relationship of being bickering and quite competitive siblings - like my brother and I). And then the gambling part comes in where we have to adapt this 'innocent' game between siblings to that of a casino and a bank - whoa what fun! I really had fun - from knowing practically nothing about gambling, casinos, or what a bank in a casino is I now know quite a lot! Well, it is very interesting. Moreover, new knowledge and I can be called the Venus flytrap and the burger (did you know that a Venus flytrap can eat a whole foot-long in one go - I got that from the lid of Snapple at Subway®).That is where I gambled virtually.
Math, new knowledge and me = a very excited me!
Next, answering probably the most potent question from the title - Irish Literature; the answer to that is a name - Sean O'Casey!
Sean O'Casey the playwright whose work I have most recently fallen in love with. Oh what a great writer he is. We, in literature class, are currently reading his 'Juno and the Paycock' something very Irish, very heartwarming at the same time heart burning and passionately written!
Well I will definitely be writing more about this!
Now, the last question - Debatin' Dopin'?
Cad é an hell tarlú? Cén fáth?
Well I am happy to say that I am back to my greatest passion - debating on a competition level. I participated with my team of 3, today, in the 1st round of the British Council Debating Matters 2013. The topic we were debating was - Allowing use of performance enhancement drugs will undermine the spirit of sports. That is where the doping fits in. We debated about the moral, ethical, and legal impacts of allowing doping, and who decides what is doping etc. You will probably be seeing the next post discussing the same.It was really interesting and what was more was that it ignited the same spark in me as it always does, jolting me to do something nobody can beat me at.
Tadaaa... Bye then! Will be coming up soon with the Premier of the very first serious article on this personal blog!
