The Leaving Cert

Ok, so to sort of sum up the visits to the various Open days in the various colleges/universities over the past couple of months.
There were a couple I attended, and I’ll give my frank opinion on each as I take apart their composition roughly.
1. National College of Ireland.
This was one of the first open days [...]

English Studies.
Sufficed to say there is a lot that flows easily. Some things more than others, some things require just a little tiny bit of encouragement to flourish, almost like the flower that has different colour petals, it requires the same amount of encouragement as all the rest. English being the subject with the different [...]

Dealing with it.
It happens at least once a year, it’s not something that can be dodged, and it’s definition will mean a lot to you over the coming months, and indeed years.
This ‘it’ affects mainly 16-18 year old hormonal Irish men and women.
It happens from September until June, includes lots of thinking, and indeed lots [...]

Okay, so I have a couple of blog posts roughly drafted.. I will work on them when I get time for them in the next few days.
After that, I won’t be posting till after Christmas.. even then it might be scarce.
The workload is not the reason, there is just enough going on at the moment [...]

Alright, so it’s been a while since i’ve posted anything here.. I have my reasons for that.. I think I’m aiming for the one blog post every ten days or something.

I’ve never bought into any of that parent teacher bullshit, it’s too fucking hyped up and it’s just not worth it, in terms of the reports given.
Our 6th year pt meetings were today, and the amount of handouts etc given to the rents suggests that they care more about the parents understanding of sixth year, [...]

Everyone has their little own thing that they do to keep themselves motivated, or indeed to help other friends/classmates through tough phases.
I’ve began to be positive because I was sick and tired of the moaning that goes on in this country, and also because it just bloody well feels better than moaning about something I [...]

This post will not have a specific structure as such. It will vary in composure, much like public opinion of the government.
Right. In the past week or so I’ve been doing some thinking about the History research topic, and I jotted a few notes down as to what I wanted to do. Unknown to me [...]

So, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted here.
The leaving cert year is finally catching up on me. Be it study,homework,extra classes,grinds etc.
I met up with some friends on Friday who are now studying at 3rd level. Psychology,social work, and media studies being the courses. We got to kicking a few ideas around about [...]

Visited the Higher Options exhibition today. We arrived on aforementioned coach. Which, to be honest, looked like something you might see knocking around in a junkyard somewhere. The driver then proceeds to park illegally and open the doors to let us out… so good so far.
Before this point the immaturity had already shown amongst the [...]
