Today was the first pleasing day of exams that I’ve had- In all aspects. I was leaving the house pleasantly relaxed this morning until I read the newspaper – “Operation safe – 6 day gardaí blitz”. So there I was, drinking my tea and thinking, hmm no leraner plates on the car, No NCT, no [...]

Guten morgen Deutschland and Fellow German-do’ers
Nein danke. So German starts on Friday. I have two days to do some preparation and I’m not quite sure what to focus on. Being a native German I already speak German, however, trying to get the rules of German grammar into my brain is impossible. I’ve had 2 different grinds teachers and a teacher [...]
Day 5 – Irish Paper 2 & Business Studies
After catching up on lost sleep, I awoke from a coma like state, with no time to do any revision. I printed off some notes from skoool.ie, knocked back my cup of tea and ran out the door. As humiliating and all as it was, I was finished Irish Paper 2 after five minutes. Only [...]
Day 4 – Maths Paper 2 & Irish Paper 1
Sleep Deprivation. It seems to be the latest trend lately. All this anticipation, nerves and stress. Maths Paper 2 came as quite a surprise to me. Having gotten 3 hours sleep last night, I got at 5am to begin more revision. But I felt awake and ready to tackle some revision. I started with question [...]

Day 2 – English paper 2

Day 1 – English Paper 1
This morning was different. I woke up, and my mother went to the shop to get me fresh rolls. Something I’ve never experienced in this house before. And I’ve been promised a fry in the morning! Maybe the leaving cert isn’t so bad after all? So I ate some food, hopped into car and tuned [...]
3 days and counting
Three days and counting. Its a bank holiday weekend, the sun is splitting the rocks and all I feel like doing is heading out to a beer garden and enjoying a cold pint of cider. Perhaps the leaving cert should be in winter, which would make it a lot easier to study. With little or [...]
The end is near.
The end is near. No, not global warming… well that too, but I’m talking about the leaving cert. Arriving late for school, desperately pushing your mind to its limits in an effort to come up with yet another unique excuse for being late. Trying to exit the school a class before lunch to have an [...]
