ah yeah, il stroll in der and put my feet up, start wafflin on about sumtin. i dont need the points like other people so theres absolutely zero pressure on me which is nice

our examiner asks basic stuff (or has done so far) so i shouldnt have any problems. ive a few tactics, such as putting down the longest 5 sliochts available so as to kill a few seconds, turning questions around on the examiner to kill some time and finally ive got links to most topics so i'll be grand.

theres nothing to fear but fear itself.

"Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself"

flashbacks of the Junior Cert there smemon.






had mine today, twas grand. she indirectly asked me if i was doing honours irish, which i found a bit sneaky.. as its not supposed to matter..


but yeah, nothin too difficult.
what i want to do--> journalism--> watching the news --> current events
was about as difficult as it got..

"shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember... its a sin to kill a mockingbird.. mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat people's gardens, don't nest in the corncribs, they don't do one thing but just sing their hearts out for us...."

I found out all of yesterday that those stupid things we were reading in class were actually the ones we were going to get asked on in the oral! I thought they were some old ones and that the examiner gave you an unseen one to read out in the exam. Oh well.

My Irish teacher is the biggest joke I've ever seen. He didn't know the names of the months last week, and today there were a few of us down the back studying for our oral (which is tomorrow, also tomorrow is the deadline for my portfolio so s'later irish, but anyway) instead of doing a listening comprehension. He made us put away our notes and do the LC instead.

Like, our oral is tomorrow and he wouldn't ****ing let us study for it today in class. What an absolute dickhead, he's a little bollocks.

Does anyone know the Irish for 'portfolio' and 'November'? I think November is Samhain but I can't remember. My deadly Irish teacher was just too capable to teach us this.

stop showing off, i got an A in english and can't remember a thing i did. oh yeah, romeo & juliet, loada rubbish. i did get a kick out of writing 'shakespear' though (without the 'e'), used to piss off my english teacher.

Rockerette

im not anti-english, i just dont like reading books, poetry and drama's. sin é. i cant see how people get a kick out of looking at black lines on a white page. give me a 50" HD plasma, 7.1 surround sound system & popcorn anyday.

english needs modernised, no one reads books anymore and no1 cares about shakespear or poetry. im sorry if im too modern for you.

Rockerette

i just think books are boring and uninspiring, plus they take ages to read. a film is in ur face, over in a couple of hours and highly entertaining. time is money my friend. people dont have time to waste reading books. money makes the world go round.

id prefer to have a cinema in my house than a library. plus books clutter up the place and are heavy, dvd's are thin, lightweight and can be stored easily. kids learn from interactive software more than they learn from books, fact. q.e.d. i win. argument over nice doin business with u.

d4gurl

guys why do the two of u hav to take over every board and hav a big ass discussion about tv vs book?!! i detect a bit of sexual tension between u two!hahah! kiddin btw or am i dum dum dum!

Rockerette

oh yeah, smemon....
i bet all the girls here want him.. he's just so... charming?!?!?!
*sarcasmetre implodes*

:rolleyes:


but anyways yah,

"when i read a good book, i wish that life were three thousand years old...."

aye aye captain! u tryna say ive got a short attention span? i can read books if i want to, i read roy keane's autobiography in 2 days (yes, i want medal be4 u ask!).

if im interested in sumtin, i'll do whatever it takes to get it. i dont find books stimulating, colourful, moving pictures are more stimulating for me!

I think you'd like those pop-up books. Try reading one of them before completely giving up on books. If they're too advanced I'm sure there's some suitable preschool books available.
