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 [...]

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. [...]

Doctors, C.A.Ah Sure and Only the pres.

Apologies Gaffer. I got an e-mail and I knew I should post something, but expecting me to do it would’ve been like expecting a Haitian to run a marathon. Pure mean considering the state I was in. Suffering vicious headaches, mucus build up (I’m dead sexy), dry mouths, impoten……. well I felt awful. And the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Times, They Are A Changin'

Today was quite possibly one of the most productive days of my Christmas holidays when it comes to the Leaving Cert. Oh yes, there were sweat, blood and tears and I didn’t open a single book, copy or folder. I did it,  I took the plunge and hauled my ass over to the CAO website [...]

I’m a college drop out.

Just as the title would suggest, I’m a filthy college drop out. I started in UCD last week and, 3 days in, decided to withdraw from my course. Which was the 6 Year Medicine degree. I handed back my student card and decided I’d never set foot in the place again. UCD and I are [...]

Trust me, Trust me…

…I’m a Doctor! Today has been the much awaited CAO offers day. My lack of nerves in the run up to the actual Leaving Certificate Results was made up for, infinite times, last night as I gritted my teeth and crossed all of my fingers, hoping against hope I’d be offered Medicine today. I’m not [...]

Are We Grown Up Now?

The end, my friends.
