Yeah tbhDoes anybody else here enjoy school? I know it's a weird sounding thing to say but leaving out {homework, study, exams} school atmosphere for me is usually just about the craic, I'd lost that for a while but I've gotten it back now and I know for a fact when I leave for university I'll deeply miss a lot of aspects of secondary school.
I'll really miss English class, its such a laugh and my teacher's great and really friendly, same with maths (but the fact thats its maths kinda ruins that :P). I go to French club too which is really fun but sadly I dont have the teacher who runs it and she's bang on :P Even though its only a weekly event I'll still miss that too I almost cherish the fun classes I have left and get sad when I have to miss them for other things...I'm such a sap :P I just feel like college wont be able to replace that!
What's SQ? :pac: I didnt like that unit much! I dont like Business Plans etc, I find the first chapter with the consumer laws so much more useful and easy to remember. I love unit 7 because it helps me to study for my geography elective though :cool:PictureFrame wrote: »Does get really repetitive though! I love Unit 5 though, I think it's really interesting and so applicable to real life (Marketing, Business Plans etc.).. Unit 3 is really handy but soo boring like! We're going through each unit revising in class, all the exam questions and then a big test at the end of each unit to see what we know.. Still we have 4 weeks before the exam packed full of intense cramming for everything. Plus for Mock preparation we did 12 years of S.Q and ran out of them, so our teacher had to order special S.Q practise books from one of the textbooks to give us for additional study/homework!.
Still with all the preparation you can't guarantee an A1, that's what irriating about business. Spend a couple of minutes too long on the ABQ and you won't get everything done like!
All together for my ABQ in the Mock I did something like 5/6 pages which is ridiculous for 80 marks. Think I did like 19/20 pages alltogether and still probably won't get an A2 even though I thought I did quite well in most questions!
Oh, short questions
Sure theyre all similar anyway :P Do they exist or did the book people make them for you? 0 -
Yeah I regret not getting all 5 ceol for a tenner in Irish college:D
"Bladhm"(Flame) is on youtube, I wish they'd do more songs as Gaeilge, love them.
All the coronas ones are good, rubberbandits, delorentos etc.
"I'd say he's a fishmonger", shakespeare slang is fun:D
The led thing was great for having a practical understanding of Batterys, resistors, current and parallel/series circuits. Also playing with a soldering iron is fun:rolleyes:
I didn't know Delorentos had any, the rest you mentioned are class though!
Ah yes, actually now that I think of it, I made myself an atomic bomb after finishing radioactivity. :pac: Just so I'd remember the chapter like.Does anybody else here enjoy school? I know it's a weird sounding thing to say but leaving out {homework, study, exams} school atmosphere for me is usually just about the craic, I'd lost that for a while but I've gotten it back now and I know for a fact when I leave for university I'll deeply miss a lot of aspects of secondary school.
I don't enjoy school this year at all, but I'm repeating so I don't really think of it as school, 'cause it's so crap in comparison to the first five years (which were great!).
I completely agree with you for last year though, god it was brilliant! The craic and the laughs everyday are the best.
There's just something about sixth year though, everyone gets so close! Like the atmosphere we had last year was class, everyone talked to everyone, we were laughing the whole time and it was just FUN!! I miss it so much now though. (Seriously, ye've no idea!) And it's awful because the reality is properly setting in that I'm not going to see most of my year more than a couple of times a year, if at all. Even the ones who I talked to and laughed with pretty much every day last year, I've seen them like two or three times since results night. And then there's ones who I'd have great craic with in school, but if we saw each other out now we mightn't even say hi. It's so weird!!
So yeah, enjoy ye're last few months in school lads. Leaving Cert aside, for most people they are the BEST few months ever! 0 -

Er, doubtful. Maybe it's just me or just my school but I don't get any of that at all! Everyone has their small group of friends and nothing really goes on outside of that. I hate school, so much. Any chance I get to avoid it I take! I can't wait to leave and never have to look back!0 -

That's why I said for most people. And that sucks, you're school sounds like no fun...
On the plus side, you've only got about fifty or sixty school days left and then you're finished with it forever!
(And by the way, thanks to the barrel of laughs that is this year :rolleyes: I definitely get the whole wanting school to hurry the hell up and be over!)0 -

I do enjoy the craic. In an all lads school, we don't have to consider what a girl would think of half the stupid shít we do. I really hope Mary I doesn't live up to it's name for being dry, as the school I'm in now is completely the opposite and I love itDoes anybody else here enjoy school? I know it's a weird sounding thing to say but leaving out {homework, study, exams} school atmosphere for me is usually just about the craic, I'd lost that for a while but I've gotten it back now and I know for a fact when I leave for university I'll deeply miss a lot of aspects of secondary school.. I'll definately miss the the few really close friends I have, but we'll all be in Limerick together so the craic will continue 0 -

Just wondering, those who have got their mocks back are you happy with the standard of correcting so far? I havn't got any of mine back yet, but I dread getting ridiculously marked (if even marked) exams back!
well........ english, i feel was very harshly marked while I think german was maybe nicely marked :rolleyes:
I think everyone's going to get a mix of good and badly corrected mocks so it'll even itself out 0 -

No one understands how depressed I am about not being able to see Kanye and Jay Z in June because of the LC.
I bought a ticket about ten months ago for Blink 182, thinking I'd never be repeating. Now I have to sell it because of Irish Paper II being on the same day. Now that I think of it, that's probably why Irish has gone from my favourite subject to one of my least favourite ones this year. :pac:
<3 you Leaving Cert xoxo!!0 -
