    Big test on Monday. *oh, I'll just do like 6 hours study on Sunday!*
    Sunday afternoon. *no point in starting now, I'll never get it all done, I'll just enjoy my evening!*

    Am I the only one?

    Yes.










    Lolz, I iz just kidding. :P

    A joy most of you will never experience is the orgastic experience of getting out an impossibru applied maths question.:cool:
    I pity thee.:pac:

    Nah, but this was my mini-victory post

    What would you all think of someone who got a Harry Potter tattoo? A "friend" (:rolleyes:) has been considering it for a few months now and wants to get it! It's very small and quite subtle, and HP has been an important part of this "friend"'s life for about ten years!

    I'd love to get a Harry Potter tattoo, maybe something small like a snitch! It's a whole pile better than chinese/arabic writing anyway :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,989 ✭✭✭PictureFrame


    Why not? I love me some Potter! :D

    At least this person has been influenced (however so small) by these books and they actually mean something to them. One of the Skivvy's in my school got the exact same tattoo as that Tulisa one on X-Factor on her arm, talk about cheap like! :L

    Agreed, and your like 'do you even speak Chinese or anything?' these Chinese tattoos have always reminded me of some Cheap take-away in town somewhere :/ not good for placing forever on your body like! :P

    Mad to get English Paper II back soon to see how the examiner took to the answers from the people in my class. Some have said they wrote very strange things about Plath in their answers (not killing her kids as the 2 of them couldn't fit in the oven with her and that sort of offensive stuff :rolleyes:) our Teacher will go ballistic. She's quite old, and very 'old-school' with her teaching methods, but my God does she know the course! She can recite any poem from our Prescribed poets without even thinking about them :eek:

    It's mental like!

    Oh dear god, your teacher would hate my paper 2. I just ripped the píss out of Hamlet. Oh god and I'm getting it back tomorrow. It was a good idea at the time, slightly worried now. Whyyy do I have to be so sarcastic?? :(

    On another note, I want ye all to make a life decision for me. Nursing or animal science?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,813 ✭✭✭Togepi


    I can barely make my own life decisions. :o

    We had our Mocks 2 weeks before Midterm and we haven't got one paper back! :O.. Did you have DEB?

    Yep no problem she goes to Trinity!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,076 ✭✭✭Eathrin


    I'm aching to get English back, it's just that one exam I have no idea how it went and I'm wondering what the examiner thought of my work.

    You're not serious?? Well we had a mixed bunch, but I'm pretty sure English was a DEB paper, it was the one with
    inspiration
    as the theme (sorry, I'm aware some are still doing their mocks!!) Now I don't think our papers were sent away to DEB correctors, I think our teachers knew people/ friends etc :)

    Cool! I was thinking either TCD or UCD but I can't decide :(

    Me too! I don't know what's up with our Examiners, started on the 31st of Janurary and no sign of any papers back at all! I need to calculate points ffs! :(

    I know mocks don't count for anything but I might feel better if i'm within 20/30 points of what I need in August!

    Personally, I'd love to get a Lion King one.
    Cool! :D Lemme let you in on a little secret, that 'friend' was me! Shock, horror!
    I want to get this:

    tumblr_lxgwcbonhZ1qhobgeo1_500.jpg

    It's small, easily recognisable by fans and just looks random to non-fans, slightly cliché, and I like how the thickness of the lines isn't consistent so it looks as if it were drawn with a quill.

    I'd also love to get a quote from Dumbledore, such an inspirational man!

    Cool! I had this mental image of a big Harry potter tattoo with wand, broomstick and all! :D

    That's class though! Agree with everything you said about fans recognising it etc. And it looks cool aswell like!

I hope there'll be some for us tomorrow, do you think there will? So bored of waiting for them like! :/ we need something to motivate us!!

    Clearly I'm not a fan then:D Victory

    But yes, that is tonnes better than what I was envisaging. Voldemort's mark thingy...or Harry's glasses permanently on your face:pac:

    I really couldn't tell you, sorry :( But I'll have everything crossed for you tomorrow!

    If anything, the mocks have shown me how it's really not hard to get a decent Leaving Cert under your belt, so it's making me work harder :)

    I hope that's what the mocks show me too! Really want 520, need 460 but 520 is just a goal i've set for myself!

    Will have to get these grades to get that though: :/

    • English: B1
    • Geography: A2
    • Business: A2
    • Economics: B1
    • Music: A2
    • French : B2

    Surprisingly, i'd be most worried about getting the B2 in French :/

    Ah I'd love that too :( not going to happen though! :P I'd be happy out with 450 :) (well I'd get the results, say noooooooooo, then realise it ain't too bad :P)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Coeurdepirate


    At the start of 6th year I was aiming for around 480. As I started to realise "****, I'm not doign any study", that slowly but surely dropped to my current goal of 420. That hopefully shouldn't be too difficult, the grades I'm aiming for are:
    French: A1
    English: B2
    Irish: C3
    Business: C1
    Biology: C1
    Chemistry: D3
