I'm in 5th year too so the whole Irish thing is gong to be changing. I've got a applied maths teacher for a father so I'm stuck doing that outside school (someone should explain to him the whole I don't do physics thing)

There's an amazingly high number of people doing applied maths.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2

Yeah, considering a tiny amount of people in the whole country do it...

from this small segment, 77% are doing applied maths. i reckon that that's more than take a third language!

Being forced to do Irish is a sick joke. All I do in Irish is sleep. And i'll still proabably pass it. Seriously in what possible context am I ever going to use it.

G'wan the Applied Maths crew
Easiest subject out there in my opinion. Really short course and the exam itself offers lots of choice. Our class has been finished the course since early October so from then until the big exam is just revision from the 1976 LC to 2004
Hopefully I will be ready for LC 2005 come that exam.

I feel so stupid. I'm the only person doing 4 ordinary level subjects.

in fairness benny, everyone here (me included) is a little nerdy!

oq4v3ht0u76kf2

Don't feel stupid, anyone who does Accounting... especially Higher level... automatically deserves respect as far as I'm concerned.

I was never able to get to grips with accounting or chemistry at Junior Cert. and looking at the books for the LC scares me!

TBH, I still can't totally get to grips with accounting, but it's not that hard, imo. If I tried to study it, I could probably do well.

All Higher level, and hopefully keepin it at that cuz im in 6th yr.
Fav subjects has to be either economics or german - why do so many ppl hate languages??!!! Irish is also up there *waits for the inevitable attack*

*Angel*

I hate languages, well don't really hate but i'm not good at so therefore hate because it's not like ....... (can't think of a word, this'll do) about understanding the material it's about learning it.
I'm confusing myself, take maths or physics for example, in a question you're told what to do and you do it, because you understand the material you haven't just learnt it.

As for Irish so many do ordinary because there seems to be a lot of bloody poems and stuff to analyse. I do higher french and ordinary Irish, even though I think Irish is a lot easier, because we as Irish people rarely speak the language. So what the hell is the point of wasting time learning Irish when French is considered more useful.

Or you could just say the people on this thread are like their maths and stuff, I mean over half take app.maths (myself included) and that ain't true for the country at all.

You sound like me when I was in 6th year. Though this year I'm taking a module of Japanese in college and I absolutely love it.

*Angel*

Japanese sounds cool, apparently I have to take french for my course next year, ah well.... :rolleyes:

I did history at the start, but changed to physics after the first month because my teacher was crap and I wasn't enjoying it as much as I used to. I like physics anyway. I like maths, it's tough but I love a challenge. I understand it, but I did really badly in my Christmas exam and I havent a clue why. I think my mind was blank. Oh well, I'll just have to try harder after the holidays.
Thinking of doing applied maths outside of school, we dont have it at my school, but I know a guy who teaches it so I may take it as an extra subject.
