Ah the last week of school is finally here. If I ever see Messrs Sin, Cos or Tan (probably when my kids are doing Space Maths… on the Moon…in the non- Leaving Cert. Enda Kenny will abolish, according to Valerie’s last post..) I can bid them good day and tell them how I Pythagoras’d their [...]
It has been little over 20 days, since my last post here. For me, the mocks start on the 22nd of February, which means that I still have a nice amount of time to do my study. No, I haven’t started yet. My week back to school started out very well, but somewhere along the [...]
RTE television in the new year will screen ‘The School’, a new three-part documentary series following the students and teachers of St Peter’s College, Dunboyne, over one academic year. Never before has an Irish school given such unlimited access to film-makers, allowing camera crews to document every aspect of school life. Principal Eamon Gaffney was initially [...]
Not much to report. Back to school today. What a complete balls. In case anyone is wondering, we’ve got roughly twenty-one school days left. I like it. It’s little facts such as this that enable me to trudge in and out of school everyday, as opposed to being dragged in by the ankles, fingernails grappling [...]
Having read Marie’s blog yesterday (with the excellent use of tosh) I felt the need to give my take on the whole leaving school thing. Some people love school, the structure of it just seems to work for them, the atmosphere inspires them, or something like that. I’m not those people. School demotivates me, I [...]
Hey there. I have absolutely no news I’m afraid but kind of in the mood for typing away so I’m afraid that means… BLOG! Just got thinking about school lately and what’s going to be like to actually leave…I love my school so much and I will miss it. It’s crazy, I’m after spending six [...]
Few things in this planet are as tedious as washing contact lenses after coming home from school. Having to learn 5 Bildergeschichten is one. Following a particularly slow learner driver when you’re already a week late for school, is another. And so, in order to distract myself from all that German, and also to adhere [...]
”Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are like us.” Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are not like us.” Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.” ~Charles R. Magel In Chemistry today, we [...]
The end is near. No, not global warming… well that too, but I’m talking about the leaving cert. Arriving late for school, desperately pushing your mind to its limits in an effort to come up with yet another unique excuse for being late. Trying to exit the school a class before lunch to have an [...]
The smell of fresh cut grass, the beams of an unfamiliar sun, the water balloons; yes the summer is truly here and the end of school is just around the corner for thousands of students. For many more this means the start of some demanding study! Not to fear with ‘National mitch Day’ on Friday, [...]
