We did the first 3 chapters of biology and then skipped 4, 5 and 6 for now. So we're already on the cell.
I intend to take 6 higher: English, geography, chemistry, biology, german and music.
And of course pass maths and irish. Pass Maths really is fantastic

There are 2 classes of lcvp and 1 class of guidance on at the same time in my year. There are 37 people in guidance..... It's good fun, twice a week where instead of studying and learing as much as you can you can enjoy the total carnage of people jumping out of windows, chairs flying across the room and the occasional banger going off.0 -
We get like max 2 tests per year with our biology teacher Unfortunately it's fairly boring...............
Doing 7 honours and hope to keep them all up! Dropped LCVP today though, thank God!
Why did you drop LCVP?I dunno, I don't think it's that bad tbh, looking forward to the work experience and the enterprise project.coffeelover wrote: »Ya biology isn't too bad. Our teacher is a bit crazy though :rolleyes: and god she knows how to roar :eek:.. Haha he's 56 and he jumps around the place I would love to see him :pac: Is history not really hard? :eek:
Ya I suppose it's a lot alright but I kind of want to do 6 :pac: Ya I'm finding honours maths IMPOSSIBLE so I said i'd drop down. And irish is really hard too. I'm doing french which isn't too bad so far. Our french teacher is brilliant . No i don't do engineeing thank god. Do you?
Ugh, our maths teacher is kinda like that, I asked her for help today and she leaned in over my desk and her afro was shoved in my face for ages.:pac:
Yeah, I heard he was strict at first but turns out he's great craic!
Nah, it's just a lot of writing, kind of like English where you have interpret stuff and I like English and love History so it's going pretty well.:D
Yeah, I'm not the best at maths(algebra :mad: ), I like it though as long as I know what I'm doing and how to do it. What do ye actually do in honours maths for the leaving? I think some of the pass LC course is the same as the honours JC course.
My German teacher is crap, I actually don't do anything in her class and go home later to get lessons off my mam, heh heh. Nah I don't, kind of wish I kept it up though but the teacher was a total sexist arse.fewtinsoffroth wrote: »We did the first 3 chapters of biology and then skipped 4, 5 and 6 for now.

Oh right, we started off with the cell, seems like all of us have covered the same stuff though at this stage.
Does everyone else only have one LCVP teacher?
Ours is set out kind of weird, we have one for careers, one for enterprise and one for the IT part of it, all the typing and the CV and stuff.0 -

Haha ya we just sit there making a mockery out of our teacher (thats if he even shows up for class :rolleyes:).. You're lcvp class sounds a lot wilder than ours though :PWhy did you drop LCVP?I dunno, I don't think it's that bad tbh, looking forward to the work experience and the enterprise project.
Ya I suppose it isn't too bad. Ya i'm kinda looking forward to the work experience too. What are you doing for yours?Yeah, I'm not the best at maths(algebra

Well we started of with factorising, algebra etc at the start which was grand. Now we're doing something which I have no clue how to do. I'd say
if I had a good teacher it would be easy :mad: but our teacher is useless!!Does everyone else only have one LCVP teacher?
We only have one lcvp teacher and he is such a pain in the arse. The other 5th year class got the better one 0 -

Not sure yet, wanted to do it in a bookshop for a while but then I thought about how you need to have a career path thing and it wouldn't be likely that I'd just hop out of college and open a bookshop.
Maybe in a garage or a dentists office, not sure yet!
What are you thinking of doing?
O ya you want to open up your own bookshop don't you.. Does the work experience have to be related to the career investigation thing? I'm not sure yet either. Thinking of going to my old primary school (god help me :rolleyes:) but i dunno yet.Yeah it gets so confusing sometimes, and if you miss a class then you're fecked and so lost!
Hate crap teachers..and maths..when will we ever need to use all these equations ever again after the leaving?Neveeeer.
Ya thats the problem I missed class on wednesday and now I am totally lost.. And i also REALLY hate crap teachers and maths .. Ya exactly maths is totally useless. Once you can add, subtract, multiply and divide thats all you need :pac: 0 -
Yeah,it's a distant dream..:pac:coffeelover wrote: »O ya you want to open up your own bookshop don't you.. Does the work experience have to be related to the career investigation thing? I'm not sure yet either. Thinking of going to my old primary school (god help me :rolleyes:) but i dunno yet.
I'm not sure, I think everything has to tie in together, or it's better to focus on one career or something like that.
Ha,cool, a load of us were talking about doing that too because we spent all of P.E. just talking about primary school, would bring back all the memories.
The kids though, I worked in a creche one summer..dear god the noise.:pac:
Ah I know how it is, then even when ya get the notes you're still kinda confused because it's not explained fully!:(Ya thats the problem I missed class on wednesday and now I am totally lost.. And i also REALLY hate crap teachers and maths .. Ya exactly maths is totally useless. Once you can add, subtract, multiply and divide thats all you need :pac:
Yeah that's all ya need! Knowing the interest rate thing and the currency conversion is handy enough too but meh..not essential!0 -

I really hated it, the class was boring and when I can only get max. 70 points (which isn't even that easy to do) I said I might as well give it up. 3 free classes a week now 0 -

Meh, if I quit I'd have to do careers instead, plus I'd prob need the points because I'll do terrible in German.0 -

Hospital=amazing work experience, did it in TY. Try and find yourself a med student, they like being on top of someone for a change (when I was there it was so funny, they spent their days getting made fun of/told they're wrong by the year above them and regstrars) and they will bring you places. Have fun, but make sure to get all your applications in as fast as possible, they're really hard to get into unless you know someone in the hospital. I don't know anyone who works in a hospital, I wrote 18 letters! 0

I honestly couldn't tell you, we haven't had any tests yet and all we've been doing is taking notes from a projector...it seems manageable enoughCoeurdepirate wrote: » Is it hard? I think I'm gonna do it outside school

I finished all my physics notes! I have never been this organized in my life, I even have folders this year!
Physics is actually such a nice subject, I don't know why it gets such a hard rap because its fairly easy as things go. The other nice thing is that you can revise in your everyday life, like I don't regularly run into strontium salt flames, but I see mirrors every day and it reminds me of how they work and stuff! I'm just happy with my subject choices, I was so worried about physics! 0 -
