Hello! I'm pretty much in the same boat as you are. I can't learn an Irish essay as much as I tried. My plan is to learn a paragraph for the following topics; Drugs, alcohol, immigration, stress of school, bullying on the internet and bits on the influence of the media. This way I can try and adapt my paragraphs to suit whichever essay that will accept them.heya ! im a fellow lc student and i was just wondering what are your thoughts on the irish essay titles or do you have any predictions ? i struggle so much with irish and i need to learn off essays as i dont have the irish to put it together on the day !

I'm also going to learn the intro for the debate as the debate question could suit what you learned better instead of the essays.
If an essay about things that anger me come up, I could suit all this to fit.
If an essay about education, I could easily adapt this method.
Essay about the media, again I could use my paragraphs.
Essay about the celtic tiger, yup.
You probably get it by now :P
Anyways, make sure you learn filler sentences and at least 6 seanfhocal.
Good luck!
Also, use your oral work. You probably have things on drugs, alcohol etc prepared so that lessens the workload 0 -

I got quite a bit done today. We had a 'surprise' biology test today. I was very surprised :P
English - WB Yeats...pls come up...pls.
French - Diary entry about falling down the stairs..something along those lines.
Biology - Growth regulator chapter.
Chemistry - Experiment with Propanone, read rates of reaction...I still don't understand those graphs!
I'll keep trying until I do, I guess.
9 more days till X-men!!! The only thing keeping me alert right now.0 -

Graduated yesterday and also X-men is outstandingly fabulous once again. 3D takes it all to a whole new level. I can't wait for the next film! Until then, time to create an alternate ending
Anyways, the graduation ceremony was pretty good. I got an award for creative writing which brought my 2 years at the school to a full circle. I'll miss some and others I absolutely won't. But now it's time to get back to work after 2 days of nothing.
Home Ec - Fish, Education, Carbohydrare properties and shopping.
Biology - Skeleton chapter and Digestion.
Chemistry - Water and rates of reaction, also hydrogen peroxide experiment.
French - 2008 literary reading comprehension and 2005 listening (brootal).
Irish - Dis and Geibheann.
Maths - Well...I revised over Trigonometry and Geometry..but I didn't write a thing.
English - Macbeth; struggle between good and evil, HMMTB GVV, Emily Dickinson...pls come up. One of my favourite lines is currently "And then a plank in reason broke and I dropped down and down." I think that's it anyway.
In other news, I sprained or possibly broke my pinky whilst trying to impersonate wolverine. They warned me, and I still went ahead
It was worth it though.
That's enough news now, I'm in the mood to write so I'll see if I can get something written before I watch a movie.0 -

I just realised I might not need an OC3 for my course! Woohoo. Yes it seems like something that's really easy to achieve, but for me it's absolutely not. If it turns out that I just have to pass Maths, then my whole life is complete. I can stop trying so hard to understand project maths!
My goal for the leaving cert, but I'll be happy with getting just enough for my course.
Maths C3 - 20 (D3 now, but who knows how it will all turn out)
English B1 - 85 (Favourite by 100% ily, even though the majority of the course is made up of learning off rather than understanding.)
Irish C2 - 65 (I need this so badly, but I hate this subject so much!)
French B3 - 75 (Pls, just for once, pls be cool.)
Biology B2 - 80 (I'm counting on my one year of biology to get me through.)
Chemistry D3 - 45 (Hahaha fck off. But I still need those points...so stay until the 17th)
Home Economics B1 - 85 (WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER. Hold my hand and let's be friends.)
Total: 455
Anything over 435 will do, my course was 425 last year, but I fear it will increase. Although I have a pretty awesome backup, but still, just like that KOL song, I WANT YOU.
Tomorrow I had planned to have a National study Chemistry and Maths day in my house and then brownies if I manage to get 2 hours of each done. But now I'm gonna just roll with the punches and see what I feel like studying tomorrow.0 -

Exams went fairly okay today.
English - I did the first comprehension, it started off well then it got repetitive. So boring. I did the letter for Section B. I wrote to David Gilmour of Pink Floyd asking him to donate his first ever guitar....hopefully the examiner doesn't know who he is because there was a vast majority of errors regarding his information. Lol. For the composing, I done a short story.
The one about a ghastly/ghostly presence. My idea was so stupid but it was the first thing that came to me. It was about a girl who's mother died, so the father got depressed, stop working and drank cheap beer all day. She lives in abysmal conditions with her older bro and sister too. So she's heading off to school, goes to ring for her friend and they get into an argument about the girl believing her mam is still alive. Her friend pushes her onto the road, a car is about to hit her. Everything suddenly freezes, she's in that moment between life and death, she sees her mam who is all like "They need you, I won't let you die too." Yada yada etc. so she awakes on the street, her friend is crying, ambulance is coming and she's uninjured. The car basically sent her flying like a lost kite.
I managed to fit all that into a measly 4 and a half pages. Please don't judge.
I feel so embarrassed now, poor examiner is gonna have to correct my odd work
Anyway, Home Ec is completed FOREVER. The exam was fairly okay, the first question caught me off guard but I tried my best.
English tomorrow so I'll have to revise.
Poets - Bishop, Plath, Dickinson, Yeats. And possible Mahon if I can. Not taking any risks with Heaney, not at all.
Comparative - GVV and theme and issue.
Macbeth - Macduff, Macbeth and his girl, Banquo, the witches and kingship.0 -

It was more a character question rather than a theme..kingship is rather odd..BlazingBladeDA wrote: »I did the same thing for Macbeth, my friend answered his as a kingship question so I thoguht I was alone :S
The question was pretty vague in my opinion, I had to read it over and over to try and understand it 0 -
