So yesterday was the big day quite a number of us had been dreading for a few months now and i feel the need to announce to you that there is infact a god,well one for the hpat at least…

so yeah,Section 1 was,as we irish like to say,grand. Had enough time to check over it even. Not so sure about that question with the mosquitos and their wing length though,that was just plain bizarre! Section 2 was slightly harder then the practice test,I thought, but all in all it seemed to go relatively well pour moi. I actually got to check over it TWICE,I thought the clocks had stopped or something. Then it was time for the bane of my existence, section 3. I had expected to stare blankly at it for about 20 minutes before guessing every single question and seeing if my guessed answers spelled any funny words on my answer sheet,but was I the only one who found it suspiciously easy?? Like was I just delirious or did it actually make sense?? I was starting to think that my reasoning was just a tad too abstract when i looked around the hall and saw lots of people scratching their heads and giving up early but I think I might have actually gotten A decent score on that. So needless to say I left ucc with something of a spring in my step. Hopefully it wasn’t designed to be deceptively easy because that would suck with a capital PH. There’s aboot 6 days between the closing of cao and hpat results though so there’ll be time to change choices if necessary.(which hopefully it won’t be!) Oh great hpat god,please let me have done well…and if you could,would you please put a word in with your son leaving cert christ?

Well now that that’s over I guess I’m out of excuses for not really caring about the pres,oh dear…. seriously though,pres are pretty amusing in pobalscoil. I find that just sitting back and watching other people stress out is kinda fun,I’m even thinking of inventing an exam time barbie based on my friend’s hair after exams(yes I am referring to YOU sinead!). The only exam which has managed to upset my calm dispsition was maths on thursday. All was going well,english was a doddle and chemistry and french were both oddly easy so I nearly cried when I got into maths and realised that I didn’t have a clue! I Attempted 6 questions but they were some pretty feeble attempts. Afterwards I couldn’t figure out if the questions were weird or if i’m just a total dunce. Hopefully I can make up for it in paper two tomorrow but i highly doubt it. I’m starting to wonder if i’ll even manage to scrape a pass. I think this week in general might just be shit,based on the fact that I have maths 2,history and irish 1&2. It’s one saving grace however is biology which I find i’m actually looking forward to(that’s not weird is it??). I suppose that’s my cue to end this since sadly i have to study for each of the previously mentioned exams.

Hope you’re all as happy as I am with the hpat!
