ElePHAnT

What a wake-up call the past 2 weeks have been. As we really get going with orals and projects, I have to say that I’m pretty worried about what I might see in my envelope in August. It seems like there isn’t enough time left to cover everything, at least not enough to secure the [...]

Be Smart, Don’t Try Be Smarter.

Maybe it’s a mixed-school thing. Personally I think it’s a female thing, but without doubt it’s not female only. People, wonderful people might I say, not being aware that they just like anyone else have their limits. To be blunt, people who think that they’re the cream of the crop, but in reality are nothing [...]

why can’t life be more like pokémon??

I really really really really really wish life was more like pokémon!! wouldn’t everything be so much easier? no need for an education if you just train some super class pokémon and then kick everyone’s ass! I bet gym leaders never had to go to college, or members of team rocket for that matter. I [...]

Mockadoodledoooooo

I’m really sorry I haven’t posted in ages (though it was probably nice to have a break from my constant prattling on and on), mocks have sort of taken over my life. I wasn’t actually planning on that happening at all, but when I come home from a day’s thinking and remembering and writing, oh [...]

Firstly, I would like to clarify the title, for those of you who don’t do Spanish. The sentence says: “It seems that I can speak spanish”.

There i was on the bus this morning happily listening to my iPod and ignoring my friend,as per usual, then on [...]

Only half to get college place this year!

Today the Irish Independent reports that third level applications are at an all-time high. The paper claims that points will soar due to the high demand for places as many more people choose third level education as a safe haven from the recession. This is worrying news for those sitting the Leaving Cert in June. [...]

They're heeeeeeeeeere…

Well that’s day one of the mock, pre, whatever exams down. For me it was English Paper 2. That’s right, Paper 2. I should probably point out that I’m not going to give anything away on any paper, in this post or in any other, at least not without an express warning. No point ruining [...]

Laziness vs. Study

It has been little over 20 days, since my last post here. For me, the mocks start on the 22nd of February, which means that I still have a nice amount of time to do my study. No, I haven’t started yet. My week back to school started out very well, but somewhere along the [...]
