An bhfuil muid ag labhairt I ngaeilge anois? Taím ag iarradh rudaí a deanamh le an teanga fós...

Why were the early days of history called the dark ages?

Because there were so many knights.

So... Is anyone else waiting until 12? I know I failed Chemistry hard (Don't need it anyway) and I'm pretty sure my teacher will be there - she has been for the past few years I hear. She's the type that will give me **** for it, and I think they already know our results. On top of that, theres a fair number of dickheads in my year who'd lord it over everyone who didn't get 987 points...

I also applied through UCAS, and I saw some people discussing it earlier in the thread... When does our track get updated? Tomorrow or on Thursday with the A-Level results? I'm pretty much screwed for Ireland if I don't get my firm. I didn't change my CAO during change of mind, and there's courses there that I know I won't have the points for because psychology has such high point requirements in Ireland.

B'fhéidir. Sin rud maith i mo thuairim...ach níl mé ar fheabhas an teanga seo a labhairt. Ag (ar?) an am céanna, tá súil agam go gheobhaidh mé A amárach san ábhar.

Tá sé an-úsáídeach nuair atá tú thar lear. Ansin, tá tú ábalta ag magadh faoi na daoine ann.

(Nílim cinnte go bhfuil an gramadach ceart...)

Summary of tonight:

Went to the pub to take my mind off the results and hoping some beers would make me sleep better.

Went home, tried to sleep. 25 minutes later, still cant sleep.

Find laptop, go on boards + facebook in the pitch dark of my bedroom.

Now hoping that bright screen in dark room hurts my eyes and makes me sleepy

I think the tracks frozen tomorrow it opens on the a level results day. I'm not sure if they receive our results my university emailed me to say I had to send them my results. You can still phone them up tomorrow I think though and talk to them if you've missed the offer.

Pretty good


(despite my OCD telling me that there are historical inaccuracies...but I'm probably wrong anyway )

that Irish Times article on HL just made me feel a zillion times better... made me think I've passed

Well that's good I suppose, we can call a day early before the hoards of A-Levellers if we miss it My uni isn't in clearing though, so that doesn't sound too good

Id like to be able to blame it on that :L

yesno1234

I'm sure it's been said 100 times already but best of luck. Also don't worry about them no matter what they are not the be all and end all and if you don't get the points you wanted there's so many options nowadays to get to where you want. But party hard tomorrow night anyways:p

Firm is Kingston at B3 B3 C2 C2 C2 at Higher and a C3 at Ordinary maths
Insurance is St Marys in Twickenham at B3 B3 C3 C3 in any 4 Higher
To be honest though, the way the exams went I'm looking more at my insurance than my firm
That's for psychology, quite a bit lower than Ireland's courses but it's still BPS approved so they must be okay
How about you?

Sunny!!

Well everyone goodnight, goodluck to everyone, and it might be cliche, but you will do better than you expect:)

What the Christ do I do with my Irish that I spent 13 years learning now? I'm not letting go of it, anyway, I can use it pretty damn well

I'm gonna see if there's any Irish speaking societies in college..it'd be a good way of maintaining and improving my standard. I'd hate to lose it after all this time tbh!

Wow that's quite steep! Yeah, I got offered a course at all the 5 choices that I put down because I apparently had a good PS and reference... I kind of overestimated my predicted grades though haha... Yeah they're all higher level except for maths, but I think I'll probably miss my firm because I kind of got cocky after I got my offers and said "ah sure thats quite low". MASSIVE regrets now, especially at this stage. What's your course at newcastle?
