What a lovely thought.
Not only do I only get 5 points, I get severely crippled, rendering me useless to sit any exams, except for English where I manage to narrate about half a page of an essay to my scribe before I run out of energy, granting me a lower level D3 and 5 points in the leaving cert.
They all thought I would get 0, nobody believed in me when I told them I would achieve in my Leaving Cert. I sure showed them, and now my 5 points hangs gallantly, framed upon my wall.
And though I know I may never be able to walk again, though my vocal chords are critically damaged; I know I can have whatever future that I want, because I have 5 points, and that will make all the difference.0 -

Just so you know, unseen poetry isnt 50, its 20! 16/50 for two paragraphs is quite goodI HATE PAPER TWO.
I'm about to rant, feel free to ignore, or TL;DR. Seriously.
So English Paper Two came back today. One of the teachers corrected all the paper twos. Anyone who's in one of his classes did really well in whatever segments they have him for (we have four english module thingys.) But I dropped him from last year, because I spent poetry sleeping. I almost failed paper two. 44%. Now, I wouldn't mind, BUT I GOT A ****ING B1 IN PAPER ONE. I wrote a five page essay for Hamlet, and 4 for Comparative (we've only done two texts so far). I ran out of time for poetry, but for the TWO PARAGRAPH PLATH ESSAY he gave me 16/50. The two paragraph unseen poetry got 8/50. He docked one mechanical point for every word I spelt wrong. Seriously. I'm so upset because I'm relying on English for a B2, and now my cumulative mark is scraping a C3. The parents are pissed off because I've barely passed my mocks, so I'm upset too. ARGH.
Sorry guys. if i were you id just get a second opinion!
our maths teacher told us a bit of the mock marking scheme for P2 today, lol omg its ridiculously liberal...maybe i might get a C in the end :P
my english teacher and my history teacher had a debate today with two students (part of awareness week in our school, no idea what the awareness is for but anyway :pac:) on whether germany should have fiscal control over us or not and it was SO FUNNY :pac: My English teacher is practically a comedian and my history teacher is too, unintentionally usually :P, and he was like UP THE RA and my english teacher was like 'in fairness we just went crazy building things, we didnt kill 6 million jews' and said 'oops, wasnt trying to be funny!' when everyone laughed.
then my history teacher goes
wait for it
you're gas

Lads, I PASSED MATHS!!!!!!!!!!
It was probably marked a little easily, but still, I got 57% - a C3*! So happy with it! After only starting the course five months before the mocks I consider 85 points pretty damn decent. :P
*I studied my arse off for the Maths mock.0 -

57 in business. Nothing great, but it's a solid foundation to build on
Did a second mock Irish oral today. I mentioned I'd like to be an Irish teacher and the módh cionniollach question she asked me was ''If I was a teacher what I'd do to make Irish more popular for students.'' Tough one but good practise I guess 0 -

yeah, studying does nothing, you have no idea what theyll ask or not askI had done no practice exam questions for paper 2, but still managed to do just as well as I did on paper 1. I'd say you'll go up, otherwise ours was probably marked way too easily!
haha hopefully 0 -

Am I crazy? Suddenly I hate everything and half the students in my school and half the teachers too. I'm not usually so cynical, I feel like I'm becoming a misanthrope. It's probably just the stress I'm under this week...
You're bound to get a bit annoyed by some people if you've been around the same students and teachers for the past five years! Fairly normal I'd say, plus stress makes people a bit neurotic.
Or... Maybe it's just your time of the month. :P0 -

And if it's not just stress, what harm! Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy misanthropy.

I don't know, I generally try to like everyone, but lately it's as if I'm trying to find the flaws in people to hate them for.
I know, that's pretty horrible, I'm just in a rotten mood.
These are odd times indeed maybe we should grant others a bit more space? We're not right in the head!Historykitten wrote: »Jeez thank god i'm not the only one

It's probably the stress, misanthropy doesn't go down too well with other people as is usually the case:)And if it's not just stress, what harm! Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy misanthropy.
