    think had the same paper but i did the
    modern fairytale
    essay.not a bad paper but i didnt really like it.

    if anyones done the examcraft higher irish paper 2 could they let me know how it was?
    have it on monday and i havent a clue.hope the an trial question is ok

    I had that mock, it's really ok, no nasty questions and all the obvious poetry and prose came up. The An Triail question is very straightforward and easy, especially the character one, you'll be fine really :)

    right, I thought the irish listening was ridiculously easy, I've never done one so easy. paper 1 for irish was alright, the comprehensions were impossible though. My easy was pretty good, I did
    the bochtanas one, it was meant to be international but I just said bochtanas is an international problem, for example, looking at ireland...:confused:

    ah im jsut going to leave half the course off and just re-read some tomorow.too much to learn proparly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 516 ✭✭✭Gloom


    I am slightly screwed for

    English - Only doing like 1/3 of the course (2 poets, 2macbeth themes/characters, Cultural Context)
    History - Took up new topic this year. (Topic 2 Ireland - Eep!)
    Business - (learning random things)
    Art.
    Maths = should be grand

    I am skipping so much, it's crazy. I studied today (wow) but I've been really sick these last 2 weeks so I couldn't get anything done. Not planning to do anything else until tomorrow.

    It's so hard to study when there's an open fire and wine to be enjoyed. So sleepeh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    SNAP! I'm in bed having been sitting in front of the fire with wine. Due to said wine I'm in no state for study!

    Pretty funny

    English paper one with
    Kirsten Dunst
    on it, saying how great a life she has and stuff,

    then pass spanish saying how depressed she gets and stuff.

    Oh so hard not to crack up laughing in that exam!
