    i loved that paper :) and i was dreading it last night because i wasn't too pushed about studying for it but at the end of the day i knew it was only 110 out of 600 so it was grand, but you still wouldn't get an A without it, but i dont know will i get an A:P got 83% in my mock, and im happy with the two papers, dont know would my oral bring it up or down but i was happy with it too but we shall see!! answered Clare, Cearrbhach, Gealt and Faoiseamh and i stuck it out for most of the exam just because i wanted to get my grammer, spelling etc right.....after all it is my only shot at it so i thought i might aswel stick it out:D so we all wrote about Oxegen yesterday with the "wellies" essay did we??!!!!;) haha

    I don't think they specifically wrote about wellies and sleeping bags and expect no one to talk about Oxegen :D

    Every single one of us did the "Wellies" essay.
    Only one of us actually went camping/reached our destination. The rest of us were stricken down with horrible accidents and natural disasters. It's a wonder we don't see more buildings collapsing when you go to buy water.

    I didn't do paper 2 and got told by my classmates that it means I automatically fail Irish. I think they are having me on but can anyone please clarify?

    You get zero marks for paper two, you don't automatically fail but you certainly aren't helping yourself. Why didn't you do it?

    Because I hd nothing done for it whatsoever and was concentrating on business. I heard it's only worth 15% though.

    you will of course pass it! but you should have attempted paper two really, like i mean anyone would have answered all the questions on Gealt, even on Faoiseamh and make a silly hash at a made up summary of 2 stories :p you cant go back now but not to worry, if everything else was done really well you could actually come out with a B :) i laughed at all those comments there about the essays haha, i'm loving the humour tonight as i have yucky french tommorrow!!!! :( :L
