Leaving Cert. '11/'12 Off-Topic

Namlub

Anyone know what the DEB Hamlet deception question was? Don't know why she can't just use actual exam papers ffs, my pre paper is in bits after the amount of time we've spent over-analysing it, and now I can't find it... /ranty

Is it just songs that've already been done as Gaeilge on other CDs or is it new ones? Getting mine tomorrow. (When m'athar comes home.)

:(RIP

We haven't covered her yet in English.
I wonder if this will influence the choice of poet, or have papers already been made?

LoonyLovegood

Papers are already made. Is it horrible I wish she'd died about three/four months ago?

The leaving cert has truly made us into terrible people. :P

RIP Rich, really enjoyed her work. I'd advise anyone to go read outside the stuff we do on the LC as many of her poems not included in the textbook are brilliant.

I guess it's more of a wake up call than motivation


At this stage of the year, what motivates all of ye to study?

Togepi

I actually really liked Rich, she was probably my second favourite poet this year, and now I'd probably put her as my favourite (just 'cause I don't know Plath well enough to like her more). Everyone seemed to hate her poetry but it's so easy to write about.

Rest in peace.

I really really really hate my school and would sooner die than repeat. I am literally losing my mind at this stage of the year. I need out of this place.
Also, 69 days is loads of time!

The fear of failure.

For anyone interested, I've neglected hours of homework but I've finished uploading and editing the new Rí-Rá Cd to Youtube. Also my first action on the site, yup, I signed up for this:pac:

I'm still mostly saying "I'll start tomorrow". What will motivate me, though, is that I know I'll absolutely hate myself in August if I don't do as well as I'd like. I got one B in the junior cert and that still pisses me off. I'm really harsh on myself.

I got 9 B's So are you going for 625?

Missing an apparent "vital" class today, bed seems like the better option!

I think my cousin got 9 B's as well, he said it was absolutely no help to him in deciding which subjects to do for the leaving. :P
Isn't everyone going for 625, ideally? :L If I know I've put the work in I'll be happy with whatever I get. Over 600 would be fucking nice though, it's such a nice looking number. :pac:

I think everyone knew that...I guess your school was left in the dark:D

Togepi

But, it says on the paper that the answers have to be in your own words as much as possible...
