I’m sorry for my big break in posting there, I was tremendously busy these past few weeks with orals and practicals and history projects and getting mildly obsessed with the new Doctor Who and…wait, where was I? Oh yes. Orals went well, I think. My year had heard some horror stories from the repeats – [...]
So then eight weeks and its all over, eight weeks? Thats it.A nice round two months and you’ll never have to say pardon madame, je ne comprends pas la question. Seems like yesterday I was walking the crowded hallways for the first time. I’ll be honest I’ve never been much of a worker and I’ve [...]
It’s the day of the French oral. I wait patiently in a small room, feeling confident. I am called into the examination chamber (I was going to just call it a room but chamber sounds nice and fancy) and, strangely, there are quite a few people in there. I am confused. I sit and the [...]
I’ll put my hands up and admit it, occasionally I will laugh when particular emphasis is placed on the word oral in a classroom. Some people laugh at the result 69% in an exam, but sniggering at the word oral is my dirty little secret. However that doesn’t mean I’m going to discard it as [...]
Grad dates. All I have heard about since the return to school is grad dates. “OMG did you hear Mary Kate asked JohnJoe over the Christmas!” “I’m gonna ask Eugene guys!” “Good for you Margaret!” etc etc. Yeah. Good for you, Margaret. How the hell am I supposed to concentrate on my mockadoodledoos (they’re a [...]
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 [...]
Whoopsies, I did mean to write about Irish and Music just after they happened (which is still technically last week, though really it feels months ago) I’m sure no one was absolutely dying to hear how it went though On the Monday before the Irish Oral (which was a Tuesday) I was all ready to [...]
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 [...]
6th year is a stressful time, and don’t let anyone tell you it’s not. Words which spring to mind when I’m to describe the experience include irksome, exasperating, aggravating, disquieting, trying, irritating, maddening, taxing, and, of course, tedious. Quite frankly, I’m sick of it. There are days where I’d just rather stay in bed. There [...]
Basically, I’ll save an introduction and merely direct you to the “Biography” section. Not to skimp on any formalities though, hi , my name’s Marie and nice to meet you/type at you. So after careful consideration, I have figured out why they call The Mocks, “The Mocks”. Nothing to do with them not being “the [...]
