So yesterday was the big day quite a number of us had been dreading for a few months now and i feel the need to announce to you that there is infact a god,well one for the hpat at least… so yeah,Section 1 was,as we irish like to say,grand. Had enough time to check over [...]
Today, June 22nd, is a day almost every Medicine hopeful had marked off in their calendars as The Most Important Day Ever. I say almost every Med-Head, because I rang a friend of mine this morning, about 3 hours after I’d looked at my own results, to see how he’d fared, and he didn’t even [...]
I felt completey ready for French, there was nothing that could be thrown my way that I couldn’t speak about. I strode confidently into the exam, document clutched between my hands. I laid the envelope of photos on the desk when go tobann, I realised that what I had so happily carried with me was [...]
Nein danke. So German starts on Friday. I have two days to do some preparation and I’m not quite sure what to focus on. Being a native German I already speak German, however, trying to get the rules of German grammar into my brain is impossible. I’ve had 2 different grinds teachers and a teacher [...]

It has all begun and the end is near. This week signifies the start of the official Leaving Cert exams… scary. With my Irish oral behind me and my music practical yesterday, I say to the Leaving cert – “Bring it on!” You’d never expect that you wouldn’t be nervous during these exams but it’s [...]
Who can really say that Irish is a farce. One week ago, in the midst of my glorius midterm break I imagined myself in the Irish oral examination. “Dia dhuit, agus cad is ainm duit” “oh crap, here we go” But after a week of mock orals, I have gained a certain confidence and perhaps [...]
They’re over and done with! Out of the way. Now comes the bit where I deny how badly I’ve done. But of course, that can wait until Sunday. First we must go out and celebrate! Right? Isn’t that what we do here in Ireland. Any excuse for a night out. So yeah, the past few [...]
