Had another day with the Italian students today and the final day tomorrow, ah they're some bunch.
We were playing football and my god I am alright at it and think it's a great sport but they are beyond good :P
Ireland vs Italy... Didn't pan out too well for us :rolleyes: Although I managed to score 2 goals

Hey guys,
Quick question Contacting a few pharma companies re work experience, but as I expected, no contact emails to be found! Do you think it would be more appropriate to contact a few HR people directly on LinkedIn(slightly stalkery?), or to send the company a letter ( and run the risk of it getting lost on a desk somewhere)?
Cheers0 -

LinkedIn is created so you would have contacts with organisations. Contacting people for simple things like work experience doesn't seem a bad thing. I have a friend who worked in a Pharmacy for wk in Dublin City.0 -
I'm just finishing up a week in a pharma company and really enjoyed it, but didn't get as much time as I would have liked in the lab ( I was based in finance ) . The brief time I had there was fantastic so I want to do another WE in a company, where I'll be in the lab more 0

You could try the labs at the universities.0 -

From what I've heard, second level students cannot go into labs in universities..? They can only sit in lectures..
I think it really depends on the lab. When I did the Trinity Biochemistry and Immunology programme, I spent most of my time at the lab observing and helping around.
I also emailed the lab of genetics at trinity many months ago for work experience. They said they would take me in the lab, but they were full because other students also applied.
Wouldn't hurt to ask around. 0 -

Please appreciate what you have at home... Trust me, it's hard up there, especially when you get to the point when you have to ration food and water and your sleeping bag is slipping downwards a slope..
Wow, that must have been so cool. What school do you go to that does that??? (you can pm if u don't want to say it on thread) 0 -
Has anyone heard of the Leinster Driving Campus for Transition Year students. Apparently they allow transition year students to get a few driving lessons( 5 i think) on their own special roads/course, without having your theory test done or have your learner's permit. Sounds pretty cool. Has anyone done it??? And is it something you can apply for independently or can you only do it through your school as like a field trip activity??? 0

Our English texts have been released :eek:
http://www.education.ie/en/Circulars-and-Forms/Active-Circulars/cl0021_2014.pdf
Looks like we'll be doing King Lear
Haven't heard much about it? I don't think it comes up very often
The movies for the comparative seem alright though! I love Juno and the Artist! And I've heard of a good few of the books! Does anyone know how teacher's just which texts/movie to do for the comparative?
What's everyone's thoughts? 0 -

You lucky b*stards with your less-pressure marking schemes
But then again... good luck with getting the college course you want.
I can't wait to be finished LC and just studying the things I want (down with geography!)
Aren't the 'less pressure marking schemes' supposed to be for the 2017 LC? which is the leaving cert after ours :eek:
edit: Yes, it's for the year below us! For those starting 5th year in 2015. We start 5th Year in 2014

Indeed, I stand corrected
Take a look in the LC forum for an in-depth examinations of the pros and cons (mostly cons) for this proposed change. It appears that Ruairí Quinn wants to make massive changes to education purely so he can leave his stamp on the syllabus- I doubt he'll ever get back in as Minister for Education, what with his making a balls of everything
I do agree with his "less religion taught in primary schools" though if you're going to teach religion, teach about ALL the major religions not just Christianity-sure why not just rename the subject 'Christianity- Jesus and the lads were alright' :rolleyes:0 -

What do you mean by course points adapting to it? Sure the whole points system is only there for the benefit of getting into courses in universities and the colleges/unis have been involved in the planning of the new changes anyways so of course they're going to be changing too.Indeed, I stand corrected

I'm not a Ruairi Quinn fan but I also agree with you on the whole religion in primary school thing :rolleyes: I mean a huge amount of 2nd and 6th class is used to 'prepare' for the communion and confirmation? That shouldn't be taught in school. If people want their children to have communion and get confirmed then they should have that done in their own time like other religious families in this country do with their beliefs and systems.
Back to the new LC thing, it'll be awkward for anyone in TY currently, if they repeat 6th year. The grading system they're used to will be gone - whereas the bunch of students starting 5th year in 2015 will have probably been taught using that grading system.0 -

Most of my class got involved, it was optional thought, we left at 9am and were back by 4pm.
I think it goes to Cork now but I couldn't do that.
I'm actually out sick today aswell!
Cycling is great fun, especially in the lovely weather.0 -
