Construction Studies
I have no longer got an ounce of motivation nor care towards my final two exams. After spending the last week off relaxing myself and switching off, I find it extremely difficult to switch back into exam mode . In my opinion a week is far too long. I found it even hard to push [...]
Operation German – Success
Today was the first pleasing day of exams that I’ve had- In all aspects. I was leaving the house pleasantly relaxed this morning until I read the newspaper – “Operation safe – 6 day gardaí blitz”. So there I was, drinking my tea and thinking, hmm no leraner plates on the car, No NCT, no [...]
My Version of Art History
What a precise paper!? Just did the art history exam, was fair ennough I guess. Section 1, both Newgrange and the bronze age came up which was excellent. However, the questions were very precise and there was no room for waffle. For example we were asked about strictly about the carving and then we had [...]
What I find hilarious
…Is the polite rudeness of the school Ok, so its Thursday morning and the biology exam is on at 9:30, which I didn’t attend because I had given up on biology a long long long time ago. After asking numerous people what I should do, should I tell them I’m not going in.. Should I [...]
The History of Art
I have this morning off (first time all week) and it feels great, I didn’t get up at 5am for the first time since English. The weather is good and spirits are high. We are almost there. I have to say if what I studied doesn’t come up I will be quite literally screwed for [...]
French & History
I’m gobsmacked… these papers were simply wonderful, almost… enjoyable (not in real life). The French paper this morning had comprehensible comprehensions, although the questions were sometimes challenging. The “production ecrite” used straight forward language, I can’t imagine it being too troublesome for many. I was happy enough, my vocab and grammar was only satisfactory, not [...]
Guten morgen Deutschland and Fellow German-do’ers
Nein danke. So German starts on Friday. I have two days to do some preparation and I’m not quite sure what to focus on. Being a native German I already speak German, however, trying to get the rules of German grammar into my brain is impossible. I’ve had 2 different grinds teachers and a teacher [...]
The History of France
I had the most unusual night last night. I was meant to study but after the long day I laid down for what was to be a 20 minutes rest but actually turned into 4 hours sleep! I was slow to get up and little study was done. A 5am job was in order for [...]
Dirty Business
Today finally brought that challenge I had been waiting for, after doing the notorious Irish paper 2 this morning, I sat down for an hour and studied. The fear was in me, I had never before done a business exam paper and my god had I not prepared for such an event. Failing to actually [...]
