I'm doing 8 subjects, Applied Maths is my 8th, I don't find it massively taxing, but then again I finished the course sometime in November so since then it has just been revision, and now this year it's all very easy when last year is was all greek to me!

Would you recommend taking it up? I'm only in 5th year now and I was considering taking it up. I looked at some of the questions and stuff though and it was a bit intimidating tbh...

Anyone else think that's out of order to say to someone? During a leaving cert year? I thought teachers were meant to encourage you to succeed?

I think thats so out of order, things like that should be said in private, its unfair on you for the teacher to be broadcasting your private business to the rest of the class! It's probably not worth making an offical complaint about, but maybe you could just talk to the teacher after class someday?
A teacher in my school on friday told their 6th year class that they are all going to end up working in mcdonalds they are so bad... what makes it worse is one girl in that class's mother works in Mcdonalds, she was just lucky not to be in when the teacher said that. And they were being 100% serious when they said it!

I would. It's very manageable. You need to do 6 questions out of 10 on the day. The 6 easiest are :
Linear motion
Projectiles
Relative velocity
Impacts and collisions
Connected particles
Differential equations.

If you have a grasp of trigonometry you can do applied Maths. It's all about triangles. It may look intimidating from a quick look, but if you take it chapter by chapter I think it's definitely possible to achieve in it.

Today was just one of those days where nothing at all went my way. Just want to curl up on the couch with a tub of Ben and Jerry's and watch Grays. But I can't because I have 3 tests tomorrow :'(

Principal called is out for a chat about the debs today. Our school doesn't organise it anymore as someone got sick on a teacher TWICE two years ago. €70 each for a ticket and its on in the strand hotel limerick. Gonna be expensive

You'll probably find it better, I'm assuming no teachers will be there this time?

Tell whoever is organising it to bargain with the hotel. They're not going to refuse 100 odd customers

Debs last year in my school cost 55 Euro I think. Bus, food and nightclub all included. I'd imagine it'd be the same this year. It's always organised by the students.

I think (could be wrong) its being organised by a external company, I think its called big boss or something. They are probably taking a cut out of the 70 and rest goes go the hotel.

Ours is €65 each so €130 for your two tickets and that's just the hotel/food price! Pictures are €35 etc on top of all that

Our debs was organised by Big Boss last year and it was around 70 euro ish. And it didn't include the bus. It was great though!

Trust me, it's a great night. I was the same last year (got invited). Disliked 80% of the year but still had class Craic

Anyway, went to the shops and got large quantities of chocolate and Fish food. Grays is downloading as I type this, so I'm off for the night.

Ours is €100 (Have to get 2 tickets, all girls school) everythings included though; the food, band etc..
Still undecided if its a rip off though.

Its certainly enough. I suppose it depends on the quality of the night. Word of warning: Choose a date carefully !
