Also, odd of me but for some reason I hate everything we're doing for seachtain na Gaeilge. Not much; céilí, seomra comhrá ag am lón, announcements through Irish, Tráth na gceist etc..

Now nobody's going to get why I hate it. I just don't like it at all. For me, it's false, it's not Irish, the gaeltacht is Irish, they have Céilí for the craic, they speak Irish as a means of communication, it's not forced.
I walked into the lunch and someone starts talking to me "Conas atá tú", maybe slightly irrational of me but I walked straight out of there. It felt wrong, it wasn't real.
I've loved Irish for the past two years but someone saying something as ordinary as Conas atá tú(It was more the context than anything) to me just sank my heart.
And what an awful céilí, a bunch of lads walking back and forth half arsed as if we're doing something traditional!
I want to be Irish but not like this.

What I just wrote probably doesn't even make sense, I'm not going to re-read it. I'm such a loony.

I think that's a lot of the reason I don't like Irish. It's also like the main purpose of Irish is now actually to impress women in nightclubs abroad...the language is almost an inside joke.

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!

It's probably the stress, misanthropy doesn't go down too well with other people as is usually the case:)

Cian I'm feeling the exact same :L You are like the male me at the moment :P :L
haha I keep finding flaws in everyone , got in the "everyone everywhere just sucks" mood yesterday too :L
Yes stress is maybe it hopefully it

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...

Oh dear lord I'm the exact same and I was always a bit of a bitch, but now I'm this super bitch who does nothing but fume about how annoying everything is. Like people who I used to always like are driving me INSANE. I'll probably like them again after the leaving, but in the mean time why is everyone so stupid and irritating? :mad:

And I'm after leaving my chem and physics papers in my locker and I'm not back in until tuesday. Argh.

Why are so many people off tomorrow?

Just buried my aunt today and my granny last week.

Let's just say it hasn't been an easy 2 weeks.

Very sorry to hear that, lost my Aunt recently too. I know I'm a stranger but if you feel like you need to talk, PM me.
From experience, don't bottle it up.

Went through the same thing last November. Think my own Gran won't be around for much longer either sadly. Like Siobhan says, we're all here:)

Lord, that's tough, Manic!

Thank you all!

Both from cancer. It's kind of bittersweet though, I like to think they battled together and died together and now, they're together again. Sad really, but it's a nice thought. :P

Barely got 200 points in my mocks, failed 2 and my highest was a c3. So low over it all, thought I'd done okay...

Finally got the lot back!  Kind of disappointed, mainly with Irish and DCG.

Gaeilge:  C1  (Excluding the 50% for the oral and aural) - very disappointed, I've gotten B1s and B2s in Irish for the last 3 years, and I'm hoping for an A1 in the Leaving.  [2011:  B2]

English: C2 - pretty poor. After last year I'll have to get an A2 to avoid disappointment.  :o [2011:  B1]

Maths:  C3 - delighted!  :D  Only took up higher level this year and was expecting to scrape a pass at best.  [2011:  B1 (OL)]

Français;  A2  (Excluding the 25% oral) - satisfied with this one, it needs to improve by June though.  Would've been disappointed with any lower.  :P  [2011:  B2]

DCG:  D3  :(  (Excluding the 40% project) - I really need to improve this, have to get at least a B on the drawing paper to be happy in August.  [2011:  C2]

Phys/Chem:  D2 - I could've worked hard and gotten a B, but I didn't put the effort in, so I'm happy enough with this (only took the subject up 6 months ago). Hoping for an A1 here too provided I seriously knuckle down!  [2011:  X]

405 in total, just slightly better than last year's mocks.  I'd get my first choice with that but I still want to do far better.  Aiming to go up...  About 160 points?  Wish me luck.  :cool:

That's a lovely thought.

In such a rotten mood. I'm stressed along with everyone else. But I take the time to help people when they need it. I ask for nothing in return, sure that's what friends are for. Only when I need a bit of help or support everyone seems to have ran away or are too immersed in themselves. Sound lads sound.

Sorry rant over.

That kind of happens me sometimes, always there for people but then it seems like there's no one when I need them!

PM if you ever feel like some ranting/whining/support.

Does anyone here know of any good online resources for DCG? I'm absolutely terrible at it since going into Leaving Cert and I really want an A or B 'cause I know it's achievable if I really work at it.

Nearly failed it last year so if you know of any useful sites please post a link!

Yea www.t4.ie or if you can do past technical drawing questions you will be well able for the DCG ones as they are usually that bit easier! Good luck!
