Leaving Cert. '11/'12 Off-Topic

Eathrin

This place is more of a graveyard these days, everyone working and that:(

I got 207/240 in my oral, and to be honest I was disappointed. If I speak Irish fluently and naturally I don't see why they saw the need to deduct me marks all over the place when I answered well, quickly and comprehensively.
Hopefully my LC examiner is more generous.

What is this 'study' you speak of??

Coeurdepirate

Oh I haven't been studying. I'm not going into school until 12 cause I'm avoiding a bio test that I didn't study for. Lads, wtf am I going to do, I need to go up 90+ points and I've been doing nothing.

So I've been writing the same Hamlet essay for two weeks in English class. 1 page done. I just have a mental block around it. :L

Does anyone know how to find out when you're on for the Irish and French orals? Is it done alphabetically or what? Is Irish the week before French?

We've been told nothing in school

I think Irish is the week before French, yeah.
In my school it goes by class, so 6.1 then 6.2 then 6.3, and within each class group it's alphabetical.

I was going to be like 6th in my school but my friend asked to swap with me so now I won't be until like Wednesday.

They decided to do our Irish orals by English classes...my last name begins with F yet I'm on the first day :rolleyes:

Ah well, getting it overwith I guess

ThatGuy93

Anyone else finding it an absolute killer trying to study in this weather :rolleyes:

Togepi

Our school has French first, I thought it'd be the same everywhere... Anyway, it's probably best to check with your teacher which is first to be safe!

How did that happen?! :eek: Is your school really small or something? Normally they'd be a week apart for everyone.

That's awful! Most school seem to just do it alphabetically by base class, it just makes it fairer on everyone. You should definitely try to swap with someone though, dunno why your principal wouldn't let you. :cool:
