    Away to the beach for a picnic and then a barbecue later on for dinner. Well I don't think Leaving Cert is exactly my priority today...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,971 ✭✭✭✭peekachoo


    I have a hot date with my last ever maths grind


  • Registered Users Posts: 571 ✭✭✭Parawhore.xD


    Just bought some clothes on Boohoo :D should arrive around the time I finish for a nice little treat, because I'm worth it ;)

    Yet again the sun has taken another part of me. I now have a patch of sunburn on the inside of my left ankle to add to my burnt neck/shoulder area. Factor 50 my ass, I may as well have been using water for all the good it did me. Nowhere else on my left leg, just my ankle. It looks like I have some form of heat rash on the bottom of my right shin too :L

    Is it at all possible that you may have missed a bit when you were applying the sunscreen? :pac:

    So nervous for paper 2... so easy make stupid mistakes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭Prodigious

    I see what you did there.

    That shit's bad for you, stay away from it.



    -

    A lot more nervous for paper 2 than I was for paper 1

    Well I suppose it'd depend on the levels of intelligence involved but I'd have to say unintelligent surrounded by geniuses. Being a genius among unintelligent would leave a lot to be desired I'd say.

    Being in the infinitely small percentile for intelligence would be effectively a state of vegetation. I would be a genius and let everyone bow down to me.

    Thank god.
    I dunno about anyone else but I just dont feel right when its super bright and hot and sunny out all the time.. I find it quite weird.
    Wheras Im much more at ease with myself having the lights on looking out at the bleak sky.



    I swear Im not insane


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,160 ✭✭✭Eurovisionmad


    I brought a load of summer clothes over the weekend, I knew this would happen :(

    Looks like I shouldn't have brought up the shorts and sun burn :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 973 ✭✭✭internet_user


    the good weather actually gave me the motivation to study as i wanted to be outside the whole time sitting on the trampoline :P

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,971 ✭✭✭✭peekachoo


    Yeah pure typical! I've 4 exams left and I was looking forward to diving into the sun on Friday evening but no, the LC has deprived me of summer 2013. :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 138 ✭✭Luize


    So did everyone hear there was a "serious error" on question 8 higher level maths paper 2 so full marks for anyone who attempted it wooo!!! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan

    But slightly harder marks everywhere else.
    It's all about the bell curve, lads! That ****s a normal distribution, nothings getting skewed if they have anything to say about it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 372 ✭✭The Pheasant


    Anyone else getting really really f*cking sick of this...I just can't seem to work but I really want to - maddening! I think after I get history out of the way I should be able to see the clear skies ahead


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 441 ✭✭AndyMc

    When I get home after a test especially with 2 in one day all I want to do is sit back in the couch with a big mug of tae and a few tunes on the stereo, these tests really take the good out of me!

    The full days are a killer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 401 ✭✭Legion.


    Same as that, couldn't study for Irish paper two at all this evening, nothing would go in. Doesn't help that 16% goes for utter BS. Luckily, today was my last full day so I should be grand for my other exams :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,160 ✭✭✭Eurovisionmad


    You're preaching to the congregation here! I keep putting stuff off and I'm like "Don't worry I'll learn that the night before the exam!" (which I did constantly before the pres) but these days I'm just to lazy/wrecked to do much!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,159 ✭✭✭yournerd


    I leave the exam thread after doing it cause it's soooooooooooo depressing!


  • Registered Users Posts: 68 ✭✭matt.finn


    Had my 1st full day today, Nearly dead now, Have another full day tomorrow that I have yet to study for.

    ****.

    Whoever timetabled Irish 2 and Bio together deserves a slap with a wet fish.

    And French and History together too... ffs I NEED SLEEP!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,849 ✭✭✭bluejay14


    You'd really think I'd have better things to do than watch Grey's Anatomy. Just after watching the season finale- they really do love a good cliffhanger. Every season I've seen has ended with some kind of dramatic suspense created, they're getting a bit predictable at this stage.

    The problem with the cliffhanger is they never seem to resolve all the issues it brings before throwing them into another disaster, this season being a prime example of that. Plus that show is always full of contract wars, making the cliffhanger a very handy way to 'lose' a few extras.

    Still love it though :D

    Slap with a dry fish wouldn't do it, no? :D

  • Registered Users Posts: 16 TentacleCubes


    I can't wait until today is over.
    I can barely string a sentence together in Irish, and I haven't even covered half of what I need to in biology yet.
    Tomorrow and Thursday will be a nice way to finish up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,753 ✭✭✭Vito Corleone


    My bed just collapsed, everything is going wrong.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 441 ✭✭AndyMc


    Its a sign to study more.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭Prodigious


    My bed just collapsed, everything is going wrong.

    Do you not do Irish?

    Sucks for you, I plan to sleep for the rest of the day :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭Leaving Cert Student

    Ooh do we have a "I leave tests early despite attending class for two full years and realizing I only have a 3 hour shot at it" badass over here? Or are you non-irish?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,160 ✭✭✭Eurovisionmad


    Come on lads, let's smash the place when those biology heads are out! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 178 ✭✭ynwa14


    I'm sooo glad yesterday was my last full day, I havent even recovered yet - napped a bit in irish! And before irish. and after irish. the joys of OL. Here's to...four more exams. At least I've got thursday off. My bed wont know what hit it (my body at full force for 14 hours of unadulterated sleeping)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 835 ✭✭✭kingcobra


    Today I was in doing Biology with four or five others in a quiet exam centre and I was blindly flying through the exam yet well ahead of time nonetheless. Now I'm always a silent but violent kind of guy, if anything, but today I absolutely let one rip (by complete accident of course! :P ) I peered over at the examiner expecting the worse, but he just gave me the general look of disapproval, and deservedly so.

    Needless to say, I didn't even dare direct my eyes off the table for the rest of the exam and I just sunk into my seat. The humiliation of doing something like that in a state exam was unbearable :pac:
