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 [...]
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 [...]
Christmas. It’s MEANT to be our one last safe little refuge before the inevitable doom-and-gloom that is January. I spent three days gorging myself on Roses (caramel barrels ftw), reading until my head hurt and pelting my sister with snowballs. Three glorious days without one thought of study. And then of course I remembered that [...]
“Hey guys. Cant wait to hear all about what ye think on 6th yr and everything. Loved the blogs last year, even tho I was in 5th yr. But this yr..I’ll be feeling ye’r pain lol”. Shonagh my dear (apologies for not using a fada also, I have one over my o but my keyboard [...]
Hi! My name is Mister X. I’m lacking any sort of biography in the introductions so maybe I’ll just start off there, give you a feel for my character. I’m just your average 6th Year really. I have to say though, I’m probably a little bit of a nerd. On the school side of things [...]
…Which is incredibly disorienting. First my boyfriend gave me a Christmas Present (yes in February, I know, I know) and now…snow? In IRELAND? In…EAST Ireland? My My My. I actually did a double take this morning when I flung open my curtains. I always thought double-takes were merely to add comedic effect in slapstick comedies, [...]
Since coming back to school after the Christmas break last Wednesday I’ve joined two new groups at school I thought I wouldn’t. The first is the Sick Crowd, who I wrote about in my last post. I’ve crossed over from being the paranoid girl with multi-vitamins, to being barely able to croak my own name [...]
Even though I am determined to do well in the leaving, I am unbelievably apathetic about the whole studying issue, and so I’m not one of those enviable, dedicated students who spent the Christmas break studying. That being said, the time has come when even I’m admitting that it’s time to get ‘back’ to studying. [...]
And then there were six. Greetings and holiday wishes, my name is Grace and I appear to be the latest addition to this merry band. I hail from Cork (most importantly) and am, of course, a fellow leaving cert-er. Every time I hear that last phrase it reminds me of an introduction one might give [...]
In the last two weeks the girls in my year have divided themselves into two groups: there are those who trudge around the corridors moaning “I’m tooooo siiiiiiiick to be in school” and shivering, and there are those wandering the corridors looking paranoid and clutching tissues and garlic (nobody has the heart to tell them [...]
