    Now that the Leaving Cert results are out, I think it's finally time we admit to ourselves that we are 5th Year students!

    I'm going back to school on the 26th which is only 11 days away and absolutely dreading it! I feel like this summer went way too fast! :eek:

    How's everyone else feeling about it all? :D

    Then those who were going into Sixth Year who were still using a 5th Year OT tread came on and complained.

    It's some sort of ritual at this stage.

    Hey guys, I am going to 5th year, but I never got Biology in 4th year, so now over the summer I asked one of my mates to give me her biology copy as I will be moving to that biology class in 5th year.
    Well here is the problem:
    I finished the copy just today and all together that biology class has done around 5 chapters in each 3 units.
    Now, I had not realized that until now, so what do I do ?
    How am I supposed to revise 15-20 chapters in 2 weeks, my school starts on the 29th.
    I was thinking of just doing all the hw questions from the book of the chapters they have covered, any other suggestions ?

    That's actually really interesting! That'd look really unique on your CV too having done Arabic for your LC. I'm sure there's plenty of jobs in that part of the world that you might be able to tap into later on as well :D
