And then there were six. Greetings and holiday wishes, my name is Grace and I appear to be the latest addition to this merry band. I hail from Cork (most importantly) and am, of course, a fellow leaving cert-er. Every time I hear that last phrase it reminds me of an introduction one might give [...]
In the last two weeks the girls in my year have divided themselves into two groups: there are those who trudge around the corridors moaning “I’m tooooo siiiiiiiick to be in school” and shivering, and there are those wandering the corridors looking paranoid and clutching tissues and garlic (nobody has the heart to tell them [...]
I seem to complain an awful lot, there’s absolutely no denying that. So what’s “grinding my gears” this evening? Well, umm, the weather actually. That’s right, I’ve decided to try to be as original as possible and whinge about how bloody cold and wet it is! Every morning, every single solitary morning, there’s ice everywhere [...]
