    My new timetable is also hideous. We used to be in for 9, form and break at 10.50 and lunch at 12.25. This was my routine for five years, my stomach got used to it. I was HAPPY.

    But now it's in class for 8.50 (those 10 minutes make more of a difference than you'd think) and a really early form/break at 10.05- far too close to breakfast! Then we have four classes until lunch at 1, at which point we'll be starving. On the plus side we'll be getting off at 1 on a Friday.

    Our maths teacher is looking to run extra maths classes during a free period which just so happens to occur right after double maths on a Tuesday.


    Woe is Piste :(

    Ouch! We haven't had much changes like that, but we do have a 40 minute lunch on a wednesday which is teh ghey.

    We have no free periods and only 30mins for lunch everyday GRAWR!

    All these changes came in once we were finally allowed to go to the shopping centre near by DAMNIT

    Was back yesterday, all going well so far tbh. Teachers seem pretty bang on about the whole thing, basically they said we know you're gonna party hard, and we won't try and stop that, but just work hard too and have the right balance etc etc.

    We also have this room in our corridor where we've a loadda comfy seats, a foosball table, a microwave, kettle, toaster etc which is very cool. Myself and three mates couldn't find where our Physics class had gone to today, so our principal (of all people) just told us to relax in the 'common room' until the next class starts :)

    We're also at the very top of the school which involves monstrous walk up a loadda stairs which is a bitch, but we do have a great view of Terenure/rest of Dublin from all the classes and all.

    Although we do have triple Maths on a Tuesday too :mad: Although they're not all in a row thankfully, we've a break or another class between each one. But it still is 2 hours of Maths in one day :eek:

    Another to add to the freakin list, our Common Room is really just a locker room, no seats, not allowed to eat in there FFS we're not babies (although apparently the cleaning staff refuse to clean the place) but we have huge lockers this year and theres a stereo. If only my year didnt only listen to cheap electro music (I mean i like electro as much as the next guy but not when its the only thing to listen to, and you listen to this cheap poorly recorded tripe GRAGH)

    Back today....Last year we had one of the best teachers in the school for accountancy, no-one could fail with her as a teacher but.........she got pregnant and now we have the worst guy ever:mad::mad: he has a completely different style of teaching and he's principal so usually he misses half the classes in a week!!! He told us we'd probably start having extra classes after school aswell!! Its a balls cos accountancy was one of my best subjects always got 90-100%:( was sure of getting an a1 with her!! Then they wouldn't let me go back to pass maths, been trying to go back since before last x-mas and they're just sayin there's no rush don't worry about it now!! Just gonna keep annoyin the sh*te outta them til they let me back........!!

    A lot of you have been talking about free classes?

    Do ye actually have built in study classes into your timetables? We have none of those!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,016 ✭✭✭lilmissprincess


    We have a free class when the Higher Maths do double maths and the Higher Accounting who dont do HL Maths do an extra accounting class.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 82 ✭✭Niamh-17


    Oh i see, that must be fairly handy so!

    God help the people doing HL maths, a double....shudder!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    We never got a study class... we did in fifth year, bizarrely enough, but none in 6th year. The HL maths class got an extra class while other people had Religion/PE, that was it.
