Au revoir medicine…

I’ve been a very bold blogger. I told myself to write about my last three exams before jetting off to France, but unfortunately holiday preparations pushed blogging into the Bac (see what I did there? Ooh La La!) seat. My final three exams, Chemistry, German and Music were thankfully straightforward and uneventful. Chemistry was a [...]

HPAT Results and Dashed Dreams.

Today, June 22nd, is a day almost every Medicine hopeful had marked off in their calendars as The Most Important Day Ever. I say almost every Med-Head, because I rang a friend of mine this morning, about 3 hours after I’d looked at my own results, to see how he’d fared, and he didn’t even [...]

Chemistry, Latin and just being finished.

Hey guys. This is going to be a bit short due to my inability to concentrate for longer than three minutes at the moment, I’m either suffering from the Tequila last night or my brain how long into some weird Traumatic Shock kinda thing. Chemistry : A lovely paper. I’m a little worried about whether [...]

Dusk and Summer

As a not so wise songstress once said, all good things come to an end. Apparently all manner of crappy things finally draw to a close, too. Walking out of my economics exam yesterday I felt two things: euphoria and relief. Finally, after years of preparing for one extremely intense and overly-dramatic set of exams, [...]

It’s all over! Chemistry and Sentimentality.

Tuesday, at 5pm, I officially finished my Leaving Cert. I walked out of those school gates, knowing I’d never ever have to return and I’ve got to say- it felt great. I apologise for the gap before posting- I was getting very drunk. Very very drunk. Chemistry This year’s Chemistry Paper was delightful.  I was genuinely extremely pleased [...]

One day Left!

Just one day left to this big mess that is the Leaving Cert! After an English paper fiasco and many a tear, it’s time to celebrate. I would also like to congratulate all the bloggers on completing their exams and to thank them for providing us with such great and entertaining blogs during the year, [...]

Two days left!

Congratulations to all students who have completed the leaving cert 2009! Best of luck to all with remaining exams.

Leaving Lovely Latin

Ahhhhh.. Okay.. Going mad from waiting for the next two exams to roll around. Had a lovely evening out last night at a friends and seem to have lost ALL sense of urgency or whatever it is that you have when you’re studying for exams. I think that this isn’t a good thing.. Anything, Latin.. [...]

The Post-Exam Blues.

Thus far, I’ve sat 9 Leaving Cert Papers. I’ve done 2 orals, 2 aurals, and a pretty awful Geography project. I’ve also done all of this and more last year. I’ve pretty much done it all again. Almost. All that remains is Chemistry. I ought to be delighted. Ecstatic. Excited. Proud. But I am not. [...]

Biology 09; One dead fox, a cyclops and a very unusual womb.

Ladies and gentlemen, four day weekend! Lovely. I bought myself a coffee and a cardigan to celebrate.. Before swiftly remembering that the Chemistry course has vast and altogether widespread corners of which I must visit, and Latin.. Oh Latin shall be interesting.. I am so unbelievably tired it’s disgusting. I didn’t get to sleep last [...]
