GRAGH I went down to the Garda Station, all necessary documents in tow only to be turned away as they have no forms, I now have to go to the next nearest Garda Station to get one, THEN I have to go back to my local one to apply. This is the third injustice I have suffered due to gross incompetance.
Sorted
Now all i have to do is wait 2 weeks (How will I manage without cheap booze from Tesco, suggestions?)0 -

We had ''A faith enriching" Retreat today, it was so tedious and preachy im pretty sure I have even more contempt for Catholicism than I did before, didnt think that could happen.
There was some video about the Shroud of Turin, and apparently Jesus turned into a Black Hole to make the image on the cloth. I was in hysterics throughout, the priests in the centre where not amused 0 -

Yeah the reason behind that (or so one of my mates tells me) tesco's arguement is A) why would you be carrying a passport around with you all the time? (stupid excuse) and
if u and a older brother or sister look alike, you could use their passport. A is thick. B makes a little sense. could also be applied to age cards, so still doesn't make sense. (My sister is 21, and looks exactly like me, to people who don't know us.)
I think some of these shopkeepers were just told to only accept age cards, like robots, and not think about it. I still haven't gotten my age card (19 next week), so I use my provisional licence, but it's failed before by the "this isn't an age card" "this is clearly me though" "sorry not an age card" "you are an idiot" thing. I should really get it, but oh, the laziness. Garda station is a good 15 minute walk away.0 -

Sadly my most readily available stimulant cannot be consumed where i study, why i hear you all cry, because it makes my room smell of cat piss(yes before its asked i know how to make coffee), no idea why though, also nearly shat myself after i spilled a bit on my laptop so no boards surfing with coffe on my bed
Im somehow enjoying myself this year, I cant understand why :pac:0 -

Pants.
Pants is all i can day.
I went 18 at the start of the summer, still havnt been arsed getting an age card. Just use my prov license. I don't understand what the big deal is :rolleyes:
As for school, i repeat, pants.
I go to an all girls school, and all i can say is that everyone has become so much more bitchier.
Is it stress? Is it hormones? Who knows. All i know is i can't friggen wait to be out of 2nd level education, and into 3rd.
The course i was relying on as a fall back if i screw up and get like 315 point is in IT tallaght, but 90% of the girls in my school go there, so i'm pushing myself for 440 in DCU..!
I can't seem to knucle down and focus.
I'm going evening study in school till 6 everyday bar wed.
But when i get home i'm completely pooped and flake out - so i cant do an extra hour of study after getting written work done at study group.
I have a timetable and everything set out, just can't seem to get off my arse and do it 0 -

try studying in study and leave the written work till later easier to do something that you have to do outside of study and use study for stuff you normally wouldn't do!0 -

Got refused cigarettes in some random newsagents out at the RDS a few weeks ago.
What i don't understand is why the shops won't accept passports/licenses.
They're both still proof of identity/age.
Captain Obvious Salutes Thee!!!!1!.
Driving Licenses are insanely easy to forge, (old) passports to a lesser extent, i happen to have an old one, alas even though it wont get me Mickey Finns in Tesco, it'll get me in to Eamon Doran's no trouble at all. Dont know what to think

TIME DOESN'T MEAN EVERYTHING. IT'S WHAT YOU DO IN THAT TIME!
In a way, when looking at study, you could ignore time. When studying, time sort of has little effect. Say for example, you wanted to study a section for the French oral on Drugs.
It may take you 15 minutes to learn everything off.
It may take your friend 2 hours to learn it off.
So, you hear your friend saying, "I did 2 hours of French last night!" It sounds kinda "impressive" to your 15 minutes but the same outcome was reached.
My friends did this in supervised study (and I admit I did this sometimes too). It was crazy. They did **** all in study yet when asked if they did any study after school, they'd be like "I did 2 hours after school every day!"
So don't get imtimidated when you hear/read/see people doing amazing hours. It's different for everyone.

Ironically, as I'm repeating, I must be in school and study mode from 8 to 8pm to make up for last year. 0 -

Aye I operated under those rules. It meant I was sometimes a bit busy during the week, but I was a normal human being on the weekends. (Although long distance relationship means I have very few "empty" weekends.)I can't study at the weekend. It's 'my' time. The LC can f**k off for 2 days0
