The Leaving Cert

Sorry, must have nodded off for a bit, there….
So, what has been happening in my life? Well I haven’t blogged anywhere in ages, for no apparent reason. New Years resolution, anyone?
A few weeks ago I headed to my only two open days; Trinity and UCD, both just a few days apart. As I’ve said before, [...]

I know we’re only two days back, but my brain is absolutely fried since mid-term. There’s not even any particular reason why; I’ve not been finding school any more stressful. In fact, I’ve been enjoying school for the last two days…
I’ll be honest, I did very little during mid-term. A few Ag. Science notes and [...]

I think I’ve finally decided what course I want to do!
Some of my thoughts were things like Astronomy and Marine Biology. Why didn’t I give these courses much thought? Well, they were more of a novelty than a deep interest. I’m extremely interested in space and the night sky, but I imagine I’d find it [...]

Quel cauchemar!
I’m actually not motivated enough to study!
In religion class today, the principal spent 40 minutes trying to get us to study. Yet, here I am on the computer all evening even though I got all my homework done. Surely I should be doing SOMETHING? I need to find some radical motivational idea, otherwise, je [...]

Ah, the dreaded project. In my case, our school has left our Geography and Agricultural Science projects until now. This week alone, we’ve gone on our Geography study and to the Ploughing Championships for both. I don’t know why they left it until now, because its an awful lot of stress to start a project [...]

Look at me crawling back here, torn through bushes backwards with a bag full of studious books!
Wow, I’ve REALLY found it hard to find the time to hammer out a blog post. Sadly, I’ve probably missed out on some great posts. My mind has been bulging with blog post ideas! I’ll try my best to [...]

Our first “proper” working day. Bah, I say!
Officially, excuse my French, shitting Ag. Science. We’ve feck all done…. And apparently using old projects isn’t a big deal. If it comes to it, “there’s a few projects in the press”. Hmmm.
Double Geography was torture in its purest form. Not for the first time, we ended up [...]

…and Computers on Monday is up for eviction
A good day over-all, I’d say!
I wasn’t really worried about going into Sixth Year, to be honest. That said, my body clearly disagreed. I went to bed at 11 and didn’t catch a wink until 3 AM. With a 7 AM start, this wasn’t exactly the energetic start [...]
