    Come Monday I will never have to do any more of that pathetic, useless, disgusting, suicidAL-thoughts-inducing, pointless, stressful, impossible Mathematics that's taught for the LC! :D

    That's nonsense. Maths is by far the most pointless course on the leaving.

    I agree!

    And f*ck the whole "Maths forms the mind" crap.

    ..............Have you even read Kavanagh?!
    6 Kavanagh poems I've studied:

    Inishkeen Road: July Evening:
    About Kavanagh's lonliness and differing perception to others, his dislike of the masses conforming to certain activities etc.

    Christmas Childhood:
    Brain dump of memories from Christmas as a child. Not a great poem IMO, but nothing negative about rural Ireland

    On Raglan Road:
    Kavanagh's lament for love. He comes across as a bit mysoginistic, cynical and thinks he is above ordinary people, but no mention of rural Ireland being ****... In fact, it's set in Dublin.

    Shancoduff:
    An expression of love for the beauty which he sees around him and anger towards ignorant people who dismiss poets as poor and don't see beauty in the ordinary like him.

    Epic:
    Explores the idea that big world shaping events like the Munich Conference in 1938 aren't any more important than local issues.

    The Hospital:
    A poem detailing how beauty can be found in anything and how people's perception is narrow minded.

    I fail to see him proclaiming rural Ireland to be shít...

    If that was intentional, I believe we know each other!

    And now, as annoying as maths may be, it has, at a basic level, some uses in later life. Being able to write a "Personal Response" to Plath or trace theme's through Macbeth(with ample quotation), has no merits as far as I can see.

    He doesn't bitch about country life in Inniskeen Road. He bitches about his solitude and how he has "what every poet hates despite their solemn talk of contemplation".

    All depends on how you read them but wasn't Advent about his wish to wallow in the habitual? And explain what you mean about Inniskeen road..

    Why Kavanagh is being discussed is beyond me, None of us have to study him anymore! :)

    Im so glad that I dont have to do Irish anymore. I love the language, but hate the course.

    I wont have to use any of my subjects ever again, apart from art.

    NCAD here I come!

    Yeah, but he isn't part of any of that craic. He's a loner, hence his solitude.

    I don't think he's blaming it on his rural surroundings though, but it's open to interprutation I guess
