Ordinary irish.. Bad form

Spattersonox

I got hit in the face with a ball and broke my leg as I fell to the ground. :L

I only dropped down to ordinary today so I'd never seen an exam paper but that was ridiculous how easy it was. Confident of getting 100% in the Aural and the essays are such a step down from HL

Also threw in a bit of Modh Coinniollach like a boss

I honestly couldn't understand a word of that Aural. That being said I did pretty well with the stories.

Crapping it for tomorrow though.

Lads how long did you spend on the composition? I was finished after 20 minutes, 1 page each. Can't imagine writing much more?

Chuchoter

I was gone after about half an hour :P

I'm awful with Irish. ugh. Aural was fairly hard, only have about 5 answers I'm 100% sure about. Wrote 1 1/2 for Litir and 1 for sceal. Fairly **** like. Hoping my knowledge of the pros and filiocht will carry me through tomorrow. My oral went really well so I'm hoping. Just need to pass it anyway, but I'm kinda pessimistic.

Freaking loved that paper!

The tape test was almost insultingly simple.

Ugh, I would be so depressed if I failed my LC because of pass Irish.. hopefully the oral will bring me up a good bit.. we had a very easy examiner, didn't ask anyone on the Modh Condhialacht

Fairly confident about an A1 after that paper. Ended up doing 4 written questions, one from each :pac:

Mehh.. Thinking of studying 3 poems and 3 stories tonight, there's too much and i'm just not interested enough. I'll have a look over the other 2 of each then tomorrow. I think these are the most likely ones:

Pros

• Caca Milis
• Oisin i dTir na nOg
• An Gnathrud

Poetry

• Geibheann
• An Spailin Fanach
• An tEarrach Thiar

I stayed the full length. Me and my friend just kept looking at each-other to see when the other was about to leave as we were the only two left in the center (all the honours had left!) and didn't want to be alone with the examiner as we think he's a paedophile! :L

Hopefully! I'd be happy with an A2/B1 though, struggle to learn these Pros! So boring!

I know I never really learn answers for them just know what they are about
Yeah I would love a B1/A2 in Irish too...Got a B3 in pre so hopefully could happen

Zomg Okay

Last time I wrote a short story from the sample papers was around the pres. The first short story in the exam (a match) was a word for word copy of the one in the first set of sample papers. I knew I should have done those again. :pac:

Did the letter on a holiday in Australia. Wrote down my learned off opening, bull****ted half a page and then wrote down my learned off ending.

And as promised, halfway through both the letter and the story, a wild U2 concert appeared. :cool:

Who cares if ye fail Irish, I'm not countin it anyways.

iamanengine

Didn't do a tap all year and thought it was grand! Wrote a page for each. I only want a pass as I'm not countin it for points so as long as I get 40% I'm delighted. Screwed for paper 2... ara musha.

Cupan tae

Oh, that's how you spell it? Whoops. :pac:

Dapics

Im only looking for a pass in Irish.

Here's the gist my genius story: ( I did the water one)

I went with my friends to play hurling.
I didnt like my friends, they were boring
I fell down on my knees and asked for water ( used quote from questions : "Duirt Me " " "

I then ran home
Said my home was in the centre of town.
Went to my room
Listened to music

It was then I realised i liked music and didnt like my friends.

All that in half a page.

What do ye reckon guys.... A1 Standard??

Stupid An Gnáthrud
Anyone have any predictions as to what prós will be on? Praying to baby jesus for Oisin i dTir na nOg and Caca Milis
