(I’m in the Irish times today, with my fairly not-epic list of songs to get me through the exams. You’re welcome to rip apart my music taste ) Amm…so, how do I approach this delicately. Paper 2 went well for me. I knew Yeats quite well, so I wasn’t stuck with the poets. Only thing [...]
Just to say first of all I can’t believe how fast it went, 2hrs 50 BAM over first exam finished!!! I went to get a bottle of water in the local shop and the cashier girl was all “Oh do you have your Junior Cert today?” I shit you not. I was raging… Went into [...]
Well that’s day one of the mock, pre, whatever exams down. For me it was English Paper 2. That’s right, Paper 2. I should probably point out that I’m not going to give anything away on any paper, in this post or in any other, at least not without an express warning. No point ruining [...]
On Wednesday evening, after the shocking news about the English paper 2 fiasco, I got a text telling me not to panic, that I’d look back on the whole idiotic mix-up and laugh at how flustered I’d gotten. Let me tell you all, there has been no laughter as of yet. This afternoon, there was no “Ah [...]
I seem to be the only person not overjoyed by English Paper 2. Despite both Theme & Issue AND Cultural Context coming up for the Comparative, despite the Macbeth essay being incredibly vague and open-ended and despite three of the four poets on the leaked paper coming up, I still managed to mess it up. [...]
ZOOM. Okay, I’m just going to give you an insight as to what it was like being me this morning. I got up at five to read Macbeth quotes like a madwoman. My appropriately towards the poetry went something like this, “shit shit shit shit if Bishop isn’t there I’M GOING TO DIE”. And I [...]
I don’t think any Leaving Cert paper has garnered as much media attention as this year’s English 2, it has made quite a name for itself. Although many considered the original paper to be a ‘dream paper’, I think it’s fair to say that the contingency model lived up to the hype. There was a [...]
…and that’s exactly why I don’t really mind what grade I get in maths as long as I pass. I was wrecked last night and decided to indulge in an early night, on my way to bed I passed by the living room where Big Brother was on, and that pretty much ruined all my [...]
This blog post does exactly what is says in the title.. Okay, I like Maths. Especially Algebra. Always have, always will. * Please insert that thumping of the chest “homie” sign here* Anyway, I’m a little disappointed in myself that I screwed myself over a tad in question 2Bi. I misread the question, over complicated [...]
The cancellation of English Paper 2 has still left me immensely angry. It’s an example of total incompetence on behalf of the SEC, and it raises an awful lot of questions, namely, why the hell were those papers actually IN the exam hall in Louth yesterday? Why does Louth even exist? Also, an exam on [...]
