    Dear God I can't wait for these Christmas exams are over.

    History and English on the same day will be fun :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,076 ✭✭✭Eathrin


    I'm at Trinners Saturday ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,068 ✭✭✭LoonyLovegood


    I'll be trinners Saturday...probably wearing an 'I'm 18' badge, if my friend gets her way.

    The all nighter failed, collapsed about half two, then my alarm didn't go off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,076 ✭✭✭Eathrin


    Here's a question.
    Has anyone ever actually successfully pulled an all nighter and then gone on to say it was beneficial?:pac: Can't imagine it could be really.


  • Registered Users Posts: 732 ✭✭✭Bubbleope

    I CAN! :D

    Pulled the whole night successfully, hyper all day, but come 3 it was terrible, went home after study at 6, got dinner, collapsed until 8 the next morning. And hey presto, my sleeping pattern was regulated for 3 days til I had to do the next one. :P

    I know a girl who regularly pulled all nighters to study for class tests...I just can't justify it, sleep deprivation does horrible things to me so 1.30 is the latest I'll stay up for school work, and that's at a push.

    Collapsing, such an unpleasant word:P

    Temple Bar is fairly distinct, it's basically "old Dublin", the streets are all cobble and theres a good few pubs/clubs in there. The same cobbled courtyard can be seen in TCD, it's nice but I actually get sick of it after a while.

    Moi aussi, le français est ma matière préféré au lycée et je suis en train d'apprendre le suédois par moi-même, donc on penserait que ça serait évident d'étudier des langues à la fac mais j'ai peur que je ne vais pas trouver un boulot si je ne les étudie que.
    En apprendant (idk if thats right :P) un autre lang pendant le terminale?! :eek:
    (Also I dont really understand the last line, you wont find a job if you dont study them? I'm afraid I wont find one if I do but sure theres always teaching :D)

    Yere all so snobby towards level 7s? I'd prefer to get my first level 7 than level 8, you can still qualify with a level 8 after the 7 :/
    Patchy are you actually thinking of pastry arts management?!?! :D
    Of course!! :D
    (in case anyones taking me seriously though, no :P)
    I'm not really snobby with level 7's per se, but I'd be kicking myself to miss my level 8 :pac:

    Hate that they're like 10 pages long!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    why would you do 10? all you guys' teachers seem to vastly overestimate the length i think, sure its what, 60 or 70 marks? 4/5 is what we've been told at most i think!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,840 ✭✭✭Luno


    I wouldn't do over 4 and a half pages for it. There's no point doing over 5, realistically I'm not going to write that much in an exam.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    exactly, i dont even know how people milk the books/film for that much :L and poetry essays, 8 pages long? pfft :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,840 ✭✭✭Luno


    Yeah I don't understand it tbh. You'd have to be waffling to get that much into one question! Maybe I'll fail English but I know for a fact in the exam I'll be pushing for time! :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Coeurdepirate


    Honestly, I'd find it impossible to write a good comparative essay that was less than 5 pages, while I'd find it equally difficult to go over 5 pages for a poetry essay!

    We started Plath yesterday, love her! And also we haven't done a single Hamlet essay ever. :/

    By the way HL Irish students, good news and bad news, I'll start with the good news. My teacher (WHO IS A FÜCKING WHORE) was at an inservice last week and they told her that in the Comprehension we don't have to manipulate the text and there'll be a question at the end of each of them about the genre of the extract/whatever. Also, they're claiming that when it said 400 words EVERYWHERE for the essay length that it was a typo, and we actually have to write 500.

    500 words would actually make more sense seeing as they've moved the leamhthuiscints to paper 2 (why would anyone do such a horrible thing) and tape is a bit shorter too!
