I know Mahon, Bishop, Shakespeare and Hopkins well. Trying to learn Wordsworth here but oh my god, it's proving impossible!! I just hope one of the ones I've sudied well comes up!

I'm in the exact same boat as you, but I was looking at it and thinking the worst case scenario is Plath, Wordsworth, Kinsella and Rich, and by anyones standard I think that's a very unlikely combination!

ah id say they're up to their eyeballs! You'll prob get it this week.

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

Hi Jade, if you mail me your details I can check on your application for you. I would need the following details: W reference number: D.O.B: Address: Mother's Maiden Name:

Hi 11Charlie411, the closing date for renewal applicants is 14/06 and the closing date for first time applicants is 01/08.

Hi Bonbon1995, if you were a student then you’re entitled to earn €3809 before we count it as reckonable income. We now also have links to other government agencies so you won’t need to supply a P21.

Hi Peekachoo, I seen a lady offered advice on how to retrieve a letter from the college. The letter needs to confirm her attendance, it will need to state her start and end date. Also a copy of her award would suffice.

I hope this information helps. Please feel free to mail me if you need any further help.

Kind regards,
Aoife,
SuSi HelpDesk.

Do you get any marks if you don't quote or say the names of a poets poems? For in case none of the poets come up that I know.... because I definitely know some poets... yeah.... some.......

Well they'd give you some marks not many for attempting the question like that but when you are dicussing a certain aspect of the poets work its expected to name a poem by that poet which you can see it in and a quote from that poem to back up your point

I don't mind the poetry, but I'm sh!tting bricks for Macbeth.

SO HAPPY

Such a nice paper. Even the unseen poetry was fairly easy for once. 4 pages for Macca, 4.5 for the comparative, 3.75 for poetry, and 1 page for the unseen. Feeling pretty confident if I must say.

I was smiling for the first five minutes of that exam when I saw Plath AND Bishop for the poets and Cultural Context

Jade.

Lads and lasses, is there any chance we could keep the OT, off topic? The last thing I needed yesterday was people talking about how great they thought the paper was on here after I ballsed it up.

Did anyone do Engineering? How do ye think it went? I thought it was a nice paper.:) I did Testing of materials, Thermal Equilibrium Diagrams, Welding and Polymers.
I feel i did good.

Slow Show

I feel sorry for next year's LC's - Plath, Bishop and Mahon are all on their course. I'm sure at least one of them will come up again as that'd only leave five poets but still, lolz.

Having a glance at all their poets, I'm going to predict now that Dickinson will be the one trending on twitter etc. next year seeing as she's the only other woman.
