Hey, I’m Orla, and I originate from Leaving-cert.net’s original Rejectsville. Found myself wandering down Bitter Boulevard for all of 10 minutes after getting the boot, before swiftly making my way to Acceptance Avenue and becoming a content commentor. However, big shout out to this year’s bloggers, they’ve done a great job. They’re pretty prolific and perfectly professional, to allude to some alliteration. Kudos and a [...]

Words Following a Night (Two Nights) on Truth Syrup.
I’ll be blunt and to the point. I hit nineteen Easter Sunday and I’m still supporting a hangover that would put David Hasslehoff into a strop. Saying that I wasn’t complaining when free pints were being offered. Now however I can offer few words in relation to The Leaving Cert. Even though I’m saying nothing [...]
Be Smart, Don’t Try Be Smarter.
Maybe it’s a mixed-school thing. Personally I think it’s a female thing, but without doubt it’s not female only. People, wonderful people might I say, not being aware that they just like anyone else have their limits. To be blunt, people who think that they’re the cream of the crop, but in reality are nothing [...]
Laziness vs. Study
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 [...]
Study goes out the window.
It was the end of 2009, and I had a resolution. To start a new study plan, right on the first day I came back to school. The plan was simple: to go through one chapter, for two subjects, every day, doing exercises and proving that I knew it all, and was ready for the [...]
3 Weeks
Yup, they’re just around the corner. The Mocks, Pres, Hell, whatever you call them. I don’t know about anyone else but I can safely say for myself I’m not ready. Not even in the slightest. I’m pretty sure that with the sum of my knowledge so far I could scrape a pass in most subjects. [...]
hiss-toe-ree ‘n’ maffs
I like History. I like it a lot. It pleases me to know about times gone by and all the funny/glamorous/profoundly disturbed people that inhabited the earth before I was even thought of. So when it came to choosing my LC subjects it was a no-brainer. History! Yay! I received my wake up call in the [...]
i can has christmas?
Christmas. It’s MEANT to be our one last safe little refuge before the inevitable doom-and-gloom that is January. I spent three days gorging myself on Roses (caramel barrels ftw), reading until my head hurt and pelting my sister with snowballs. Three glorious days without one thought of study. And then of course I remembered that [...]
Honours Maths: I'm no mathemagician…
…and that’s exactly why I don’t really mind what grade I get in maths as long as I pass. I was wrecked last night and decided to indulge in an early night, on my way to bed I passed by the living room where Big Brother was on, and that pretty much ruined all my [...]
The Amazing Balancing Act
When I was 15 I did a 3-week circus stint in which I learned basic juggling and acrobatics. I was useless at the acrobatics; having little to no upper body strength and lots of lower body weight isn’t the ideal combination for twirling through the air. Juggling and physical theatre on the other hand, I [...]
