I actually dunno I paid something alright and I got tax credits? do I need a p21 so?

All depends on how many shifts you worked, if you can work it out closely enough how much you earned over the summer then you'll be fine, I worked it out myself as I only worked about 10 shifts or so. The P21 just gives you an exact figure for how much you've earned gross pay.

Balls I earned a good bit, I worked 8 hours a day 4/5 days a week for three months solid and then weekends until Christmas

Yeah you'll definitely need to get a P21 and include that into the application. There's probably at least 3500 quid there to be added on to your parents income, I don't think the grant application crowd would be too happy if they stumbled upon that haha.

You should just go for it anyways, won't do you any harm to apply and they turn it down. The upper limit last year for half the student contribution was 52,000 total income for the family if you were the only child in college, just to give you an idea of the threshold.

I'm pretty sure you can trace my state of mind during Paper 1 through my handwriting.

QA: fairly hard to read. Blind panic as I attempt to squeeze enough points out of the text for my answers, while struggling to avoid repetition and stick to my timing.
QB: slightly easier to read. Regaining confidence but wavering in places as I question the tone and content of my talk.
Composition: probably the easiest to read. Finally relaxing into the task at hand although getting slightly worried at the more formal points in my personal essay and overly long paragraphs.

Roll on tomorrow when I descend into the indecipherable phase.

This will be me after my last exam

Legion.

Downed tools for tonight. Still need to run over a couple of Macbeth questions and the comparative course tomorrow morning, then I'm all set. The real fun will be cramming for Geography tomorrow night..

Seriously though anybody got solutions for me? How can you ask for a college letter when they're off for summer? :P

Who? The colleges? Believe me, they're not! :pac:

Get your sister to contact the Registrar's Office / Registry / Records Office of the relevant college (it gets called slightly different things in different colleges, if you mention here or PM me the name of the relevant college I should be able to point you to the right office) and ask them to issue a letter and / or academic transcript to her, and specify the purpose ... they should know themselves which is most suitable for SUSI (does it say anything in the guide to filling out the application ... assuming there is one ... about what documentation is appropriate, or does it just say "a letter"?)

peekachoo

Oh thank you! I just assumed my sister would have to go to cork to get a letter or something. They didn't clarify what kind of documentation for it but I emailed them just to double check. Thanks a mill

Monsieur Folie

Cram the entire Geography course in one short evening, without neglecting maths?

Challenge accepted. :cool:

I mean really lads, what bright spark came up with the idea of having an unseen poem on English Paper 2? Like what person was like 'You know what this paper needs, an unseen poem! Because there definitely isn't enough going on already.' Who does that??

English is the devils subject. So very, very useless. (IMO)

Someone who was trying to relieve the pressure / obsession re: the seen poets, maybe?

Actually, my sense is that most people seem to pick up a decent few marks on that section if they keep their heads.
