Leaving Cert 2012-13 *OFF-TOPIC* (hideaway) thread

SleepAlone

Back tomorrow. I have a knots in my stomach, such a feeling of impending doom. I usually don't get nervous about anything

I have a terrible timetable, e.g. business, then lunch, then more business! That happens at least once a day! And I have two irish classes on Friday, and two maths on Tuesday. I wouldn't mind if they were doubles, but they're not. I already hate 6th year.

(Oh, and I got homework.)

I'm loving 6th year so far and my physics test went surprisingly well.

Well done on the test!
All this talk of timetables makes me really want to see mine now - except I don't want to have to go to school to get it.
I'd be surprised if I don't get homework on the first day, i did last year and that was only 5 th year.

For an off-topic thread, this thread is pretty.. on-topic

Knowing my teachers I'll be getting homework first day, straight back into it :pac:

I'm not worried bout my timetable anyway, I get about 4 free class periods a week cause I do music as an extra class... it's fairly handy

Went back in today to help out with the first years, told my maths teacher that I passed our christmas test (it was a common test between the 2 honours classes and the other teacher graded them). She looked genuinely surprised. Wow.

My dad brought me home one of those academic planner calendar things from work. Now i can constantly be reminded of how soon
the learning cert is.

Awww lads, dunno about this timetable.
I s'pose I was never gonna really like it though and eventually Ill hate some days more than others anyway..

First proper day tomorrow. Was in with first years today which was just exhausting. Came home so tired and I just felt awful. Hopefully this is not what it is going to be like the whole year

Colm!

Starting tomorrow. My sleeping pattern is gone right now, will probably fall asleep around 2 to wake at 8

Slow Show

Not back until Thursday thank the lawd...I think I just need to get through this week and then I'll be OK with it. Or at least will have accepted it...

<10 months and it'll be over. We can do this!

I actually think the Apple earphones that come with an iPod are the best, so maybe see if there's any of those knocking about?

If you change your mind about headphones, Sennheiser's are great and really cheap!

Have a look at these, not sure if you'd find them round the shops, but I've been fairly happy with them so far... they're pretty good at blocking out the noise around ya, so you can enjoy your music without hearing anything else :P

My room is some mess...Sheets of paper everywhere! Wish they had some induction day for repeats in my school. Have to wait for another week i think until I start again

Cruel Sun

I was in talking to the principal just there. One of the teachers that I want to view one of my papers with says she has plans with friends for that night. :mad: I'm back on Monday, I haven't heard how everyone did in my year but I just hope it's only sound people who are repeating. :pac:

Seriously? Surely she knew people would be viewing scripts that night? :P
In the same boat as you hoping sound people will be repeating..I know my friend is so thats ok
I was talking to the principal about a week ago and the number she gave who could be potentially repeating was 14 :eek: I think that's a lot! :P

I know, it's pretty bad. I might have to get another teacher to view it. :P
I only know two other people who are definitely repeating and they're fairly sound, but there's one or two wasters that I really hope don't bother. :pac:
14! :eek: Usually there's only about 4 or 5 in mine but the schools fairly small. (70 in a year)

they will serve you well, also a 2 year warranty, so that's always a plus.

Yep and they don't break the bank either, funds aren't exactly high after the summer :pac:

Don't want it to fly, I want it to be as long as possible.

See the thing is..This year there were a load of repeats(Good few dropped out though) and they were all catered for :P Probably about 80-90 people in 6th year!

I'm the exact same. I know in a few months I'll just freak out one day and be like 'Where did most of 6th year just disappear to??' :eek:

Colm!

Sennheiser, Creative or Sony brand are my go-to brands for in-ears, great budget ones.

Best pair I owned were €50 Creative pair that I got free on a website deal: http://en.store.creative.com/headphones-headsets/ep-830/437-17398.aspx (now €35, which I'd almost say is worth it).

Thinking of buying something like these when I get my new MP3 player: http://en.store.creative.com/headphones-headsets/aurvana-in-ear/437-14702.aspx


BTW I arrived back to school today. Meh.
