Queen have always been my favorite band, Brian May's the reason I started playing guitar
Pure awesomeness! 
I was fairly devastated when I found out Bohemian Rhapsody came up as the main listening q last June 
I'm listening to a good bit of Thin Lizzy atm too, gotta love the twin guitar harmonies

Now that I've got that out of my system. I'm a serious music addict, its actually ridiculous. Ed Sheeran<3 Muse, The Killers, Coldplay,Biffy Clyro, FUN, Vampire Weekend, TheBeatles. I could go on forever here.
I think my last fm is still in my sig if ye're that Interested.
Very good taste in music indeed. :pac:0 -
First day back today and i am so exhausted right now. I got homework in every single subject it took me 4 hours! Although i put a lot of effort into it which slowed me down finishing earlier
I suppose . I think my time table is ok it was up on the notice board and i didn't get a chance to take it down 6 maths classes a
week including a double on Wednesday. I'm doing chemistry, bio, geography and French.
I don't even own an ipod so i will avoid all this music talk, i do really like emeli sande though 0 -

Reviewing my scripts today
Can't wait to see how a A/B student got a D1 in English :P
Wow, that must have been a nasty shock when you saw your results
Weekend!
I don't have a huuuge amount of homework either so I'm pretty happy. Feels like I've been in 6th year for weeks at this stage :P0 -

Hopefully starting back on Monday! I am actually dying to go back and just get cracking 0 -

Actually you all do and I gotta call ye out on exceptional taste. I got mad love for most of the bands you guys are listing out here. I'm big into the new albums from The XX, Two Door Cinema Club, Passion Pit and Frank Ocean right now... but honestly if you want a better idea of my taste in music, you should listen in to the internet radio show I do every week (Sundays at 9pm. Go on, listen to it lads). It's got about ten listeners every week but I love doing it, and I do a bit of a dance music mix at the end. I've taken up DJing, here's a short mix I've done.
I dunno. I'd be happy for Scroobius to get famous, make more money for good music and get a name for himself out there. Sure, there's a bandwagon effect, but if people like the music and it doesn't get any worse, what's not to love? Of course, there's the problem of the radio running every good song to the ground (they REALLY love playing that new Of Monsters And Men single and I'm getting tired of it so fast), but other than that, no harm in bands becoming famous.I'd be pi$$ed if my Scroobius became really famous. Call me a Hipster all you like but theres nothing more annoying than you're favourite band/tv show etc. becoming ridiculously famous and people jumping on the bandwagon.

Now, weekend. Celebrating my new 6th-yearness by going out to 18ths and completely ignoring the work to be done. Great.0 -

From talking to the teachers I found out a few things today.
Firstly the Maths paper this year had to be corrected 4 times because they couldn't find enough A's to fit the normal 'bell curve' marking scheme that they like to have!
Also the Irish had to be recorrected to mark down the results overall because there were too many A's etc because of the 40% for the oral!
The Maths books (at least ours anyway which is New Consise Project maths) are available soon enough but that the exam papers mightn't be available until Christmas
And finally for fear of starting off another Heaney-Plath episode like last year, my English teacher says because there are 3 classical poets, those being ones dead over 100 years (Shakespeare, Hopkins and Wordsworth) he reckons there's a good chance at least one question will be about one of them!

ah. Project Maths is a failure then, how long until we see the whole thing redesigned?Eurovisionmad wrote: »Firstly the Maths paper this year had to be corrected 4 times because they couldn't find enough A's to fit the normal 'bell curve' marking scheme that they like to have!

well yeah that makes a lot of sense. Still hoping for Plath this year though. While not looking to rely on her, she's just so damn easy to write for. Got me my 93% in 5th year exams :pac:And finally for fear of starting off another Heaney-Plath episode like last year, my English teacher says because there are 3 classical poets, those being ones dead over 100 years (Shakespeare, Hopkins and Wordsworth) he reckons there's a good chance at least one question will be about one of them!0 -

That's very good for us as students though tbf, makes things look a bit more hopeful for borderline A/B students, which I'd consider myself to be.

Why is that class?! :pac:0 -

I see nothing wrong with an easier Irish course, especially when it does a better job of teaching the language :pac:
I love the fact that the Irish course is easier and that it is essentially a better course but I don't think the fact they had to recorrect the papers is good for us because that means they are trying not to give people A's! For people like me who really need the A, It certainly isn't good that they are trying to make the course look harder than it actually is, by giving out a limited amount of A's. 0 -
