    I thought that exam was a piece of cake. I had a few fits of laughter in the tape test over how your manos sister or something couldn't go cause she had a broken leg becuase she was in a road accident. And as for joe mhici jimi give me a break. Speaking of breaks did anybody else notice the painfully long pause at the start of the tape?

    Yeah Aural was grand, I can't have gotten more than 3 or 4 wrong on the whole thing. At least this year the Ulster dialect was understandable probably because they spoke so slowly it was painfull. And that question where they asked you about the "special" person, I thought they meant Special needs, it gave me a good laugh when the answer was Mary Kingston or Kennedy or whatever, she's that one who does the Disney club isn't she.... I can't stand that woman.... or her stupid talking dog (Oisín, I think). Paper 1 was easy aswell especially those comprehensions, Hector came up too, he's a top man.

    They only spent about 2 minutes explaining how she was the one from Open House... replayed it twice as well.

    That's not really a "major" mistake - happens to most people, only difference is that you actually spotted it. I did the same thing with "crann" and "troscán". Still kinda made sense though ("we burned the trees" instead of "we burned the furniture"). Mixing up a word here and there on a pass paper isn't a huge problem.

    Yeah, I heard that, but I've never watched open house, so I presumed it was the same person. Anyway I still can't stand the one who does the Disney club.

    I thought todays paper 2 was fairly nice, I did my learning for paper 2 and I think it paid off, I'm hoping for a good B1 or B2 overall in Irish. First week of exams are over Wayhey!

    I don't think so...
    Did anybody else notice how everybody on the tape was talking alot slower this year? I wonder if they'll do the same for French. That's where I always lose my marks.
