Having read Marie’s blog yesterday (with the excellent use of tosh) I felt the need to give my take on the whole leaving school thing. Some people love school, the structure of it just seems to work for them, the atmosphere inspires them, or something like that. I’m not those people. School demotivates me, I [...]
Hey there. I have absolutely no news I’m afraid but kind of in the mood for typing away so I’m afraid that means… BLOG! Just got thinking about school lately and what’s going to be like to actually leave…I love my school so much and I will miss it. It’s crazy, I’m after spending six [...]
I felt completey ready for French, there was nothing that could be thrown my way that I couldn’t speak about. I strode confidently into the exam, document clutched between my hands. I laid the envelope of photos on the desk when go tobann, I realised that what I had so happily carried with me was [...]
I did my Irish Oral today, and I’m absolutely delighted with myself. It really couldn’t have been better! Seriously, it was amazing, to say the least! I’m amazing. Amazing. At the end of the exam, when the tape was switched off, the examiner asked me if I speak Irish at home or went to a [...]
Hello hello hello suitably stressed out fellow LC-ers. I have a secret to share. I did NO study today since school ended. Absolutely none. And I really feel pretty guity…ish.

In fact the phrase “shitting bricks” was bandied around my class this morning. I felt more fidgety than nervous until I was called to sit outside the room the oral was [...]
A few months ago, I signed up to www.dictionary.com to get their “word of the day” and, let me assure you of this, I haven’t looked back since. In recent weeks and months, I’ve learned what “consternation”, “virtuoso” and “wanton” mean, but I can safely say nothing shall ever trump today’s word of the day: [...]
[Jeeez I look scary there] Orals, eh? My Irish one is on Wednesday I think, although in fact I haven’t thought much about it. Oops. I spent many a summer at that fabulous wonder that is a Gaeltacht and so I’m hoping that, and a bit of last minute preparation, will get me a good [...]
Since September I’ve been breaking all that study rules which, if adhered to, would have gotten me A1s throughout the year. Things like a school tour to Rome in November, unheard of until our class fought for it, imperative for our understanding of Latin grammer was seeing those monuments, oh yes. And then the week [...]
