What comes before… Part B?

Weekly recommended allowance of calcium from the cheese in the title! I was sitting in today’s Chemistry exam I had it all planned out when I saw the paper. “Fucking Atomic Theory” was to be the beautifully elegant title followed by the inspiring  “Well failed that anway”. I love Organic Chemistry. There, I said it.  [...]

Au revoir medicine…

I’ve been a very bold blogger. I told myself to write about my last three exams before jetting off to France, but unfortunately holiday preparations pushed blogging into the Bac (see what I did there? Ooh La La!) seat. My final three exams, Chemistry, German and Music were thankfully straightforward and uneventful. Chemistry was a [...]

It’s all over! Chemistry and Sentimentality.

Tuesday, at 5pm, I officially finished my Leaving Cert. I walked out of those school gates, knowing I’d never ever have to return and I’ve got to say- it felt great. I apologise for the gap before posting- I was getting very drunk. Very very drunk. Chemistry This year’s Chemistry Paper was delightful.  I was genuinely extremely pleased [...]

All that remains is Chemistry. I ought to be delighted. Ecstatic. Excited. Proud. But I am not. [...]

French, Flashing my Supervisor & Getting my Pose on.

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 [...]

Biochemistry?!

Biochemistry. What an awful concept. Back in transition year when I was picking my subjects, I attended four or five sample chemistry classes, sat there absolutely dumbfounded, and promptly chose biology. I don’t want to be a doctor, or a dentist, or any other profession that requires this convoluted subject…so why would I willingly force [...]

Time is slip slip slipping away…

I’m sure you’ll all be delighted to hear that Operation Put Santa Hat on Skeleton in Biology Lab was a roaring success. One week later he still has his festive little hat and Chemistry classes seem that bit more cheerful. Next stop a santa beard perhaps? Towards the end of October, just before mid term [...]
