Oh my school camogie team are getting sneaky, study on during double clubs/pe tomorrow while the 5th years miss Irish
P.S Had a suprise Irish test today, why do teachers do this!!!!

I prefer them to be honest,since I never study, and loads of others do, it challenges your real ability to retain information first go. (And I usually end ul doing very well in comparison to others)

I had the loveliest nap in physics today. Slept through the whole thing!

I'm praying the rain will flood the roads so I won't have to go in tomorrow. I am dying for the midterm to start!

My Irish written test turned into an oral one. I hate speaking in front of the class!!

I know! Sorry miss, I'm fairly sure I won't have to do this in my oral.

Our Irish test was meh, most of the class didn't finish the test and my vocab was very basic!

It was on those 20 document yokes for the oral exam, she picked 2 out of 20!

I'm not dissing my class, but we are very lazy and I'd say 5 out of the 15 will do well in it! The teacher is an outright b***h though, she only did it because the parent teacher meetings are 2 days after the midterm!

Would taking up Italian this year as a bit of a side project be a silly idea? Not to do the leaving cert in like, just to have a bit of. I really want to learn it and I know I can take it up next year in college but still.

I've been dabbling in Swedish for about a year, and didn't stop once I went into 6th year It's important to do things you wanna do to keep you from killing someone.


Guys, I actually loath biology.

Chuchoter

Yeah see I did japanese for a few years and I could hold a conversation and read books and stuff, but then I gave it up in 5th year and most of its gone now.

Just it kind of sucks having no random hobby things that I'm just doing for fun and I like learning languages (its really similar to french looking at the grammar from afar).

Biology needs to go die in a corner, I agree.

Just checked moodle there.. 90% on a German test I'm pretty sure I never even did. Grand.

Here's hoping to closed roads:p

I actually hate it so so much. There's so much to learn and it's SO boring

I getcha, it's the same with me, I really enjoy learning languages and I've always wanted to go to Sweden, so I started learning it Plus it feels great to talk to people without difficulty knowing that you taught yourself!

God, I know. Remember that comparative essay I was supposed to do at the weekend? I told my teacher that I didn't do it and she told me to do it for tomorrow. I have yet to start it.



On the bright side, we finished the business course today!

Chuchoter

It is so boring! All you do is learn stuff off, nothing is ever explained beyond 'thats just how it is'

1. I don't know how you manage to learn languages on the side and yet I can't manage french at all!

2. That puts you in a really awkward position now doesn't it? After your teacher giving you the extension and all...

3. Finished! My business teacher thinks that we're going crazy fast (we're not) and we'd struggle to finish by christmas

I hear they're taking the roads in :cool:


I was thinking of learning Italian too, realistically I should wait until after the LC though. And I wanted to go to Milan to see my old France roomie during the Christmas holidays, but I've realised just how close they are to the pres </3

I know the half of you are procrastinators like me but can anybody here actually sit down to work and plough through it all without distractions? I take at least twice as long to do work because I'm always so distracted.

It usually takes me about 3.5 hours to write an English essay. Since it's writing and not learning I always say "arah sure I'll play some music so that it won't be as boring!" So the laptop is beside me and every time I go to change the song (which is after every song) I check boards and facebook. I'd say a good 50% of the time it takes is spend wandering aimlessly around the net.

We waste an unbelievable amount of time in class. We're about 3/4 done now. Being ready for the Lc by christmas would help a lot in other subjects but alas..

We finished Geography last week
But we're only starting the last unit in business.
