As I write this my eyes are literally drooping off my face. First day back to school and I’m already drained. Its bad enough when you go into school for the first time in 3 months and you remember JUST how much work that needs to be done,and after climbing my mountain of homework at [...]
Anyone applying to UCAS this year should know by now that the Personal Statement (PS for short) is the most difficult part of the application. Writing it is a challenge, writing mine was a challenge, but there is a good load of advice out there about how to write it and plenty of samples to [...]
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 [...]
What a wake-up call the past 2 weeks have been. As we really get going with orals and projects, I have to say that I’m pretty worried about what I might see in my envelope in August. It seems like there isn’t enough time left to cover everything, at least not enough to secure the [...]
If anyone out there picked up that the title is a joke from family guy,then i salute you and welcome to my first blog. I’ll try and keep this intro as short as possible,since if anyone reading this is anything like me then they’ll take one look at a long page of typing,label the person [...]
Just as the title would suggest, I’m a filthy college drop out. I started in UCD last week and, 3 days in, decided to withdraw from my course. Which was the 6 Year Medicine degree. I handed back my student card and decided I’d never set foot in the place again. UCD and I are [...]
…I’m a Doctor! Today has been the much awaited CAO offers day. My lack of nerves in the run up to the actual Leaving Certificate Results was made up for, infinite times, last night as I gritted my teeth and crossed all of my fingers, hoping against hope I’d be offered Medicine today. I’m not [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Thus far, I’ve sat 9 Leaving Cert Papers. I’ve done 2 orals, 2 aurals, and a pretty awful Geography project. I’ve also done all of this and more last year. I’ve pretty much done it all again. Almost. All that remains is Chemistry. I ought to be delighted. Ecstatic. Excited. Proud. But I am not. [...]
