I know I’m a little bit behind but hey, better late than never right? Ok so first things first, yesterday’s French exam. I thought the comprehensions, like Annah, were nice. The first one especially although I was a bit more vague on the second one. Also very happy about the lack of questions on the [...]
OK, I know I’m a bit late to the party in regard to Irish Paper 2 but I will say it went swimmingly. The poetry questions were quite nice, except for the fact that the Nil Aon Ni codarsnacht question and the Faoiseamh A Gheobhadsa codarsnacht question were practically one and the same – what [...]
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. [...]
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. [...]
You and I used to get on so well. When I would panic over German or Music you’d look at me calmly and say “don’t worry, there’s always me, I’ll be there for you”. You were the one exam I looked forward to and felt no fear about sitting. And through it all you offered [...]
Irish Paper two went more or less the same way as English Paper two. I thought I was wonderfully prepared, but when I saw that An Bhean Óg question I almost had a heart attack. Cíoptha?! What the hell did Cíoptha mean?! I later found out it meant “torment”, which filled me with cíoptha as [...]
French. How I’ve hated it for all these years. How it’s made my blood boil, my stomach churn and my head ache. As of about 1pm this afternoon, I can safely say, I will never EVER be using it again. That’s it- our awful relationship has come to an end and I for one am [...]
For thousands of Leaving Cert Students all across the country, school is officially finished. Forever. Copious amounts of alcohol have been consumed, shirts signed, teachers thanked, pranks eloquently executed. All that’s left now is the final hurdle- these damn Summer Exams. This is it. The Leaving Cert’s here. Well, almost. After six painful years of [...]
There’s been a lot of outrage lately about the new exhibition opening in the Ambassador in Dublin. You know something’s a hot topic when people write indignant Letters To The Editor. (Madam, I was disgusted to find that I am a cantankerous old man/woman and as such nobody will listen to my terribly important rants [...]
Few things in this planet are as tedious as washing contact lenses after coming home from school. Having to learn 5 Bildergeschichten is one. Following a particularly slow learner driver when you’re already a week late for school, is another. And so, in order to distract myself from all that German, and also to adhere [...]
