OMG! Irish 2, French and History

OK, I know I’m a bit late to the party in regard to Irish Paper 2 but I will say it went swimmingly. The poetry questions were quite nice, except for the fact that the Nil Aon Ni codarsnacht question and the Faoiseamh A Gheobhadsa codarsnacht question were practically one and the same – what [...]

“fáthchiallach” is allegorical/figurative…duh.

Irish is done. And I’d like to say I’ll never have to do it again but there’s a serious threat that I won’t get the points I’d like because of today’s paper. Today in the exam hall I held it in and focused on the task at hand but when I got home I was [...]

Gaeilge? More like Faeilge

Irish Can Suck It (Especially Paper 2)

For about three minutes I lived in blissful blissful ignorance. I woke up, having completely forgotten than I have a Leaving Cert to sit.. I just lay in bed… All warm and happy with only the mildest of mild niggles saying to me, “Hmm… do I have something to do today?”. Did I what. Maths [...]

Nervous breakdown anyone?

Fucking Irish paper two. I really don’t know what to do for it, I mean the books are INUNDATED with notes upon notes but I am NOT a rote learner, I don’t find it works for me. I prefer being able to rely on my natural inclinations but combine them with some vague idea of [...]
