Revision Seminars, Pres, HPAT….Social Life??

Sorry for taking this long to post but my parental units felt the need to withdraw my internet privileges as they thought it was ‘interfering’ with my study. All i can say to that is ‘WT fuck??’, but thankfully The broadband modem and I are now happily reacquainted = D soo..anybody else fall victim to [...]

Today was a very important day. Today, we received a very special “legal document from the department, THE DEPARTMENT GIRLS” that listed out all our subjects and the levels at which we will be examined, and the point of it all is to check and make sure that everything is right as rain so we’re [...]

Are you freakin’ SRS?

Grad dates. All I have heard about since the return to school is grad dates. “OMG did you hear Mary Kate asked JohnJoe over the Christmas!” “I’m gonna ask Eugene guys!” “Good for you Margaret!” etc etc. Yeah. Good for you, Margaret. How the hell am I supposed to concentrate on my mockadoodledoos (they’re a [...]

Back!

Hey everyone, I know it’s been a good while but rest assured that I do swing by to check out comments every second day or so! I’m sure you guys can all appreciate how hard it is to grab a spare moment to blog but I am committed to- at the very least!- one per [...]

3 days off? Think again!

Last week, Minister for Education Batt O’Keeffe ordered a blanket closure of all primary and secondary schools on health and safety grounds. The forecast at the time was for heavy snow on Sunday night and that this would make school impossible for the first three days of the week. I don’t know about where you [...]

Study goes out the window.

It was the end of 2009, and I had a resolution. To start a new study plan, right on the first day I came back to school. The plan was simple: to go through one chapter, for two subjects, every day, doing exercises and proving that I knew it all, and was ready for the [...]

check it outttt – it’s snow joke!

(I decided against a Beastie Boys reference in the title (too many “ch”s) and went instead for The Checkout Girls from ”Sonny With A Chance”. Feeling cool right now.) http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2010/0108/breaking1.html That news arrived up on my screen to a resounding “ewww” from all school-going persons in my house. My sister is concerned about the TY musical actually going [...]

3 Weeks

Yup, they’re just around the corner. The Mocks, Pres, Hell, whatever you call them. I don’t know about anyone else but I can safely say for myself I’m not ready. Not even in the slightest. I’m pretty sure that with the sum of my knowledge so far I could scrape a pass in most subjects. [...]

hiss-toe-ree ‘n’ maffs

I like History. I like it a lot. It pleases me to know about times gone by and all the funny/glamorous/profoundly disturbed people that inhabited the earth before I was even thought of. So when it came to choosing my LC subjects it was a no-brainer. History! Yay! I received my wake up call in the [...]

One Hundred an’ Eightyyyyyyyy.

It was very much the season. Relaxation, family, friends, enjoyment, and a suitable amount of work. However we’re hitting the spotlights now. We’ll be jumping back to our pres, C.A.O. talk, on the rebound we’ll have orals, and after that we’re on the home straight. No need to panic too much though, it may sound [...]
