I'm just used to it now from the six years of sitting at those desks! I'm having the same debate I don't know whether to do maths or go to bed! :P

I reapplied for my age card (lost the first one on a night out, silly me

) there about a week ago (think it was last Fri). The first time I did it, september of last year I think it was, I got an email nearly straight away and the form came out within a few days. This time, it still says "payment received" when I enter the tracking number. No sign of an email from them and no form in the post yet either. Is something wrong or have others experienced delays like this? Is it because I'm reapplying or something? I would have figured that would be cleared up at the Garda Station itself, as their FAQ section implies.

Only reason I'm worried is because I'll need it for the 21st, I don't see the clubs around here accepting my out of date passport with a photo of 10 year old me as a valid form of ID, and I don't have a drivers license atm.

Is there anywhere I could phone/email about my application to try and sort it out or move it along?

I know there are infinitely many more important things I have to be worrying about, but that's exactly why I want to sort it out, so this doesn't become one of those things. :P

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when / if you try it!

Age card supposedly takes 10 days, as does express passport. Be grand for the 21st!

Ugh sh*te I just realised by my own stupidity of not reading the whole question right, I answered the Theme & Issue, comparative question incorrectly. I compared my texts, and talked about the different moments in which I gained personal/universal reflections but I didn't exactly compare those reflections like it said to. So annoying, just throwing in words like 'On the other hand' or 'likewise' for those would've made all the difference. That's purpose seriously gone out the window then, bleeeeh.

I probably wasn't gonna end up counting English so this isn't stinging as much as it would but still, this sucks.

EDIT: Thinking it through a bit, and with a kind examiner, some of my reflections may be able to be construed as comparisons. Maybe. Yeah gonna exist with this false hope, f*ck it it's over now.

****e. same.

Me too, sort of. Might not be as bad as you think. If you said "Text one left a deep impression on me, I had not seen this aspect of XXX before" and then, "Text 2 presented a contrast to text 1" It might be acceptable.

No point looking back now.

Leaving Cert Student · 07-06-2013 9:28am

For complex numbers when you get the roots of unity, why are these roots not accompanied by their conjugates? like when you let n= 0,1,2 etc. the roots arent conjugates of each other anyone know why?

yournerd · 07-06-2013 9:31am

and dont wanna know why. uhh

Yeah I've realised that I would have ended up making some comparisons without even thinking of it e.g. 'Both texts allowed me to form a reflection on...' Tbf the rest of the two papers went alright, and all of the exams were never gonna go smoothly.

Onto the next one!

Roots are only conjugates if the coefficients are real
