Pretty much, yeah we still have a good bit of oral to do in French, a good few essays in Irish, and the 4/5 chapters in chem and biology. We finished the business course a few weeks ago and we only have statistics and geometry left in maths

I thought maths was the subject that doesn't finish until the last day:eek:

Lads staying up this late to do this essay is not worth the fatigued thing I am going to be tomorrow.

Whereabouts are your class in Physics? I just realised today that we've done about 4/5 of the course:D

Not sure, but Pat the Physics teacher says we'll be finished around Christmas.

Also, today I realised how much I hate hate HATE one of my "best" friends. She's such a stuck up little know it all c*nt. God I can't wait until I never have to put up with her ever again! :mad:

In other news, about 20 minutes ago, my cat hit me in the head with a window. :P

Oh word of warning, bring 2 calculators into any exam you need it in june. Yesterday, before the maths pre mock, mine broke. Hysteria couldn't imagine what I'd do if it happened in June!!! :O :P

One time, my friend's one started showing up these weird symbols but it actually knew what it was doing somehow. :P Anything + Anything = Some kind of kite thing, and one symbol for any subtraction/multiplication etc, it was hilarious until someone told him to press the reset button

Anyone else just awful at the language oral tests?

Change how?

Does anyone else look forward to college and leaving all the shít that is school behind, but on the other hand feels they will miss some aspects of school? Some days I think I just want to leave and start college life and make new friends etc., then others I can't help but feel that I'll miss school and those good times.

Oh y'know, weight, personality wise, get all the negative crap out of my life..
It's been a really rough 2 years like. Mom got diagnosed with breast cancer the feb before last, so stuff's gone a bit down hill. Don't worry, she's on the mend.
Just sick of all the bull crap like!

And yes, I totally understand what you mean. I can't wait to get out of that hell hole. :P

Yeah tbh, like I've heard in college it's all very impersonal whereas I have a great laugh with some of my teachers. In a weird way I'm also sad to leave Irish behind...useless and all as it is, I love languages and to spend 14 years learning it and then never even finish learning it or use it is such a waste of time.

Haha English is grand, but there is sooooo much to write in the test that me wrist will be broken afterwards in June

According to my maths teacher, we're four classes away from finishing paper one. Then another 35 until we finish paper two.

THANK GOD FOR ORDINARY MATHS AND TEACHERS WHO START FROM SCRATCH IN SIXTH YEAR.

Also - I get my injection on my 18th. Said injection reacts with my medication. I'm rather angered right now.

Tbh I'm quite ready for the weekend now, Apparently it's Tuesday though:(

Im thinking about doing honours Irish in the LC externally.
With only 6 months to go do you think I have a hope in hell of scraping a honour? P.S. what is an Honour a C or a D?

We finished organic chemistry today, buíochas le Dia! I liked it and found it interesting, but it dragged on too much. Now only water, stoichiometry, electrochemistry and chemical equilibrium left!

My chemistry teacher who I really like is leaving after christmas, and she only started in September. We're getting back a teacher whose been on maternity for 2 years and was crap to start with. Had I known we'd be changing teachers (thus wasting the whole month she gets back until she settles in) I might have stayed in HL Irish :MAD:

We have a bit of electricity, magnetism, modern physics and the option left, but we have all the fifth year stuff revised by class tests thank God!

**** friends are ****, don't put yourself through the hassle. Its so much easier to drop people who are horrible than you'd think. Keep yourself around people who make you happy! Feel better anyway

Christmas tests are next week and I should really be studying but I've had the worst stomach pains for the last few days, and I can't concentrate on anything. Ugh this is not a good time

My body is the most uncooperative creature on earth. When I'm stressed my stomach goes into horrible cramps. Just to ease the stress I'm under and all that :rolleyes: I'd just lie on the couch until it goes away if I were you

Glad that things are on the up, the whole finding out a parent has cancer thing is pretty horrific, went through it two years ago - longest summer of my life - thankfully it got sorted though.

PS: Coming from someone who's already done 6th Year, the year goes faster than you can imagine, so you'll be out of there in what seems like no time!

Haven't a clue about the theatre! I've been outside of the pub, I hear it's a very nice place. It's only 2-3 minutes off Grafton street so there's not much worry of getting lost. It's part of a hotel if that's why you're looking to go there.

And who goes to Dublin to head off to Maynooth? Seriously? Just stay here we've got gach rud;)

Thanks for replying! (:
I'm so scared oh my god. You have no idea!! THIS IS GOING TO BE HORRIBLE!!
And no i think there's this whole college year party thing going on at both the bar and the theatre that my friend was invited to and she's asked me and another friend to go too! We're staying with her friends or something. I don't even know them! xD This is gonna be a whole new experience. Ahhhh so nervous!
And I missed UCDs open day. that was the one i really wanted to go to. /: just going to Maynooth to see what it's like and what not. AHHH Dublin.. I'm gonna die. D;

no not at HL imo. The oral is 240/600 marks but that even requires you to know some of the poems a bit (have to read one) and as OL have the same exam you need to set yourself apart with a high standard of Irish. And theres 20 picture sequences. Maybe if you did perfectly in the oral, aiste (100 marks) and comprehensions but I wouldnt bother with it this late tbh.
