PurplePainter

Ok this is a longish Insane Good Luck for the leaving cert, (and to you Junior Certs too! Awwww) And A little Note to tell you all ERIN HUGGINS IS COMING TO IRELAND! Shes stayin with me from the 12th to 24th AUGUST so ye all had better come down n c her ya hear?

Anyway The Leaving cert. Yes. That. Im not sure how many fellow sufferers I have , Aside from Oisín, So This is an open arsed (pardon the profanity...) Message to all exam sitters. I hope you all are ready, and if not, I hope you are happy, and if none of the above, I hope realise you're the same as everyone else! (think about all of that for a while.. its kinda funny!)

Anyway exams... Hmm.. they suck... Especially for me.. want to know why? Well probably not, but Ill tell ya anyway, They start on my birthday. Yes.. I, Roisin Garvey, Will be 17 on the 9th of June... Its taken a while I know.... so while many of you are off having crazy campus fun in late june... spare us a thought.. and eating crispy campus rolls, think of us, and painting and wearing dressing gowns and spoons... think of .... of... oh Im getting all emotional * sob *

There was a point here... Oh yes.. Ok... Anyway This thread Was intended for any Junior/Leaving certers to step forward and make yourselves known.. and Im praying there are some! Step out of the shoes of the observer and make yourself known to us........(or me...) what exams you sitting, what poets you studied, history topics.. etc... whatever.. let the fun begin....

I genuinely hope it goes good for everyone....

i think we all know that those rolls are far from crispy.



AHH!! BLOODY ****ING LEAVING CERT!!!

It wasn't me!

Junior Cert. It's horrible. I've decided I don't want to do the leaving cert but I've a funny feeling if I voice that opinion around here my mother (Refugee Applications Commissioner) would find some crazy-ass way of having me deported. :rolleyes: So that puts an end to that plan. Unless......

<nothing here>

Oh well. I tried.


G'luck kids. Next year is my year of reconning. I'm getting too old. 21 in February and a degree sometime in the summer, if I'm lucky/study.

gigglingrat

Junior cert. This time would be so much better spent studying. Meh.

what exams you sitting, what poets you studied, history topics.. etc...

I assume that that was a filler line, cos you can't really be interested...
Oh, nd good luck Rosie! Didya get your portfolio done? This is Aoife from art + ar history last year, bye-d-way.

Peterfing

Um... Okay theres about 8 days left until the Junior Cert begins and... I haven't studied yet. Should I be worrying? Okay, I should be studying but... but there's no school! I don't wanna do work when there's no school.
Anyone else do this little work and get through the JC all right?

Barry Aldwell

I did no study for the Junior Cert, and I English speak good now

Awayindahils

i'll be in cork.....but i already knew

and as for the lc im sitting outside making sure people aka u lc and jc people dnt 'cheat' (like u lot need to)

anyway good luck and so on

doonothing

im an ickle JC'er m'self.
i actually studied a wee bit today!!
i realised its in, like, 4 days time? so, yeah, SH*T!!
im skrood.
"talent" cant help me now!!
oh crap..

gigglingrat

I'm sensing some negative energy vides on this thread....breathe people!

And rememder that smug annoying self-satisfied stupid patronising granny saying....

Things will be alright in the end. If its not alright , then its not the end.

*PUNCH!*

gigglingrat

Thats not how you spell remember.
Sigh.
I'm doomed.

mentalimplosion

i went through stage 1: "yeah, i'm gonna start studying reallly soon, then i'll get all A's and everyone will be happy for me"

then stage 2:"actually, screw studying, i mean, i didn't study for my mocks and i hardly failed them"

then stage 3: "on the other hand. i could have done better in my mocks.yeah, i'm gonna go study right now"

half an hour later, stage 4: "ah feck this, i'm going out"

now, in stage 5, four days to the JC; "yeah, i'm gonna fail. ah feck. oh crap. i'll study like whoa tomorrow and i'll be ok. i may even pass. aaah. oh crap...etc"

needless to say, i'm not too stressed :dunno:

Peterfing

Dear god... thats exactly what I went through...
Has anyone else gone through those stages and come out okay?

purplepolkadot

christ i went through all of them stages except i'm doing the leaving WHICH ACTUALLY MATTERS!!!!* cept i went all out and FAILED MATHS in the mocks so a brick has already been expelled from my body.

and why oh why didn't i read peig? and why didn't i watch peig? and why didn't i learn stair na gaeilge? and why didn't i read the english version of peig.

oh yeah, COS THEY'RE SO BLOODY BORING.








*cuz like, from what i've noticed, as long as you're doing honours at jun.cert, there is absolutely no other effect your results can have on your whole senior cycle.

mentalimplosion

yeah but you don't wanna be like, 'look at me, i failed me junior cert. i'm so great lalalala'


i also found out today that my cousin studies 4 or 5+ hours a day for the jc. aaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

gigglingrat

Your cousin in a loser.
IS a loser.
My concentration is already failing me!
No.



















Meh.

Liquorice

I'm not too fussed about the Junior Cert. It's not really incredibly important. I'd love to get eleven A's, but I probably won't get an A in art, and otherwise, although I feel ready(I've been studying a fair bit since just before the mocks)I can almost guarantee that what I don't know/didn't study will come up.

It wasn't me!

Right, the sky is going to cave in on me in roughly...... 20 hours and 17 minutes...... I hope, otherwise I'm going to have to do my junior cert! I've realised at this stage that, due to my lack of studying up to this point but my disturbingly good memory, I'm looking at a big string of B's and C's, with possibly a few A's in the form of CSPE, Science, maybe History, and probably Latin. I need this kind of optimism, otherwise that rope over there is going to start looking mighty tempting......

gigglingrat

Yes, people, we need Posimism! a C is an Honour, and don't forget it! a D is a pass, and thats damn good! And an F is amusing. Esp in CSPE. Hoho.

And A's n B's, well, I guess I'd settle for them at a push, but they make for such boring report cards, doncha think?

mentalimplosion

there are always attempt marks, i guess

gigglingrat

Thats the attitude Im lookin for Ana! Well done, A+

doonothing

ah well, sure 'tisnt it only the junior cert.
and it begins tomorrow.
oh
my
god
today is tuesday!!
SH*T!
i should be studying right now....
couldnt....be....bothered....
weeeell, the importance of the junior cert really just pales in comparison to something like...oh, i dunno....THE PIXIES!!!
now THAT, i could give a rats arse about.
and ctyi, im looking forward to them SOOOOOOOO much, that ive kinda forgotten 'bout the ickle pop quiz that we got tomorrow.
tomorrow.
*shudder*

CTYI/PIXIES!!!
ahhh.....
comfort is found.

arrah, tis true.

and i didn't do any study today. crappity crapcrap.

see you all when i get out of this mess, if ever :rolleyes:

Peterfing

Wow I have done absolutely no study.
This is the first time (aside from the mocks- but they REALLY didn't matter) that I've done no study for an exam. I can handle it though I'm sure... I mean, cheating's just frowned upon right? There's no actual rules against it?

Right?

...

gigglingrat

In Catch 22 the holy Chaplain dude says no good comes of sins. BUT if cheating makes you happy, them some good has come of it so it cant be a sin, right?
Although....
My friend studied reallyreallyreally hard and came second in her year in German. Yer one who got best marks gotta a Junior Linguists trophy of some sort. SHE HAD CHEATED.
Just a story, has no relevance whatsoever.
Hey, Marc, Im gonna that too!!! WOO! PIXIES, GROOVE ARMADA, THE THRILLS! have I left anyone out...?
*excitement*

Never believe what a military chaplain/padre says. Their job is to keep up morale, not to uphold religious ideals.

doonothing

yeah, aoife, you did leave someone out!!..........




THE HOT HOUSE FLOWERS!!
there's no one else playing at that gig, is there?
not a single one....

gigglingrat

Omigod! Is my face red! *hangs head in shaaaame* There might be some filler stuff, but I think thats the main ones alrite enuf.

hm. The whole idea of havin some kinda miltary holy dude seems a lil oxymoronic, if that be a word. ''Don't worry men! God is happy that you killed all the innocent bystanders! It's part of his.....divine plan! Oh yeah! Nd don't ask for a sign or you is goin ta HELL! At ease!"

Theres something ironically comical bout it.

The technical term is "collateral damage". And if someone is stupid enough to stand around watching a battle in progress, they deserve to die

gigglingrat

Stupidity is NOT a crime people! Lets not be intellectual snobs here! And the people didn't go to the war, the war came to them. Its not like "Oh here there should be a battle round bout twelvish. Should be a laugh. You bring the sandwiches, I'll bring the tent"

twirly sponge

Well, I'm here a little too late amn't I and now the subject has changed.... Anyhoo back on topic, I'm also doing the Junior Cert along with ye Ana, Aoife, Marc, Aine, Peter how the hell can you be doing the junior cert, I thought you were WAY older, like nevermore old. Crazy.

Yeah, junior cert.... at the start of the year I was like "yeah, im gonna study SO much and il go in there all chilled cos il know EVERYTHING!!" But then I didnt study half as much as i should have. But i have been going into the exam hall (the sports hall in my school, *sigh* so many memories of PE classes and sitting around talking instead of doing PE, and youth club discos and funny funny times.....) chilled cos I dont really care about it anymore. Wahey.

have u no decency barry.





side note: who is bothering for the hot house flowers. the thrills start at 5pm. that's when i shall turn up. then pixies. then chilis. end.

[edit]what a great concert. convinced some twat to give up his pit1 wristband for 15e.[/edit]

Peterfing

I wish everyone would stop telling me I look older than I am. I'm the age I am okay....

That being said I hope bouncers think I look older than I am. Haven't had much look with the old 'I forgot my ID' yet...

J Campion

Yeah, you definitely look older than you are. Then again, most people @ CTYI seem older than they are. I think it's coz they're more mature. Everyone except me. LAst year i had a reason to be immature. (namely i was the 2nd youngest person in the class) But this year, i dont know what i'll do! I think i might have to get a psyvchiatrist's note: "Please excuse John form normal/maturre behaviour as he seems to be allergic of same" or somethin to that effect. Any other ideas?

J Campion

Isn't Peter lucky to have a that surname, imagine if i tried to do that with my name Twud be "John Camp". I could just imagine someone slipping an "is" in there somewhere and then the confusion would start!!!

J Campion

I would like it to be noted that i have nothing against gay people, u was just saying ... and sorry for ythe "broken-up-ness" of this reply... I'm a newbie... forgive me... I'll stop jibbering now!

Peterfing

John take your hands off the keyboard and step away from the computer.

gigglingrat

Yeah, so the exams...how they all going for yis?

mentalimplosion

RELIGION. oh my ****ing god

i left as soon as i had finished it, without reading over it at all (which i usually do about 400 times). i have a MAJOR problem with that curriculum. stupid education

twirly sponge

Religion! That was alright really. I bluffed the whole lot of it cos, well I was hardly gonna learn anything for it, i mean its RELIGION. But I think I did ok.

strawberry

Religion is a subject? What do they expect you to know? And why do they keep adding on subjects? Surely something's gotta give.

doonothing

ah now, i dont mind "doing" it as a subject, cos our teacher cant control our class AT ALL, but i think its a wee bit ridiculous that we're examined on it....

i mean, it is really "BE CHRISTIAN!!"

its all very forced upon us.

and the curriculum!! the "morality" section, MY GOD!!! if we dont know that stuff by now...

seriously, that exam PISSED me off. so much writing!! its religion, it should be all box-ticking etc...

well, i guess its all over now, no more religion exams ever...

*tempts fate who then makes it a leaving cert subject*

Liquorice

Maybe it's just that my teacher focused on different aspects of the course, but in all honesty, it's not Catholicism being forced down out throats in the guise of a school subject. Yes, we had to learn a bit about Jesus, but my teacher covered nothing else to do with Catholicism alone...we did ecumenism, world religions, changes in belief over time, children's faith & mature faith and morality. And morality isn't 'taught' as such, more we learn to back up our personal moral beliefs with valid points.
Maybe I just had a good teacher *shrug*

Raphael

I have a great religion teacher. Wait no, I have a religion teacher who has slagging matched in the middle of class, and gives over religion classes to history classes, and calls yassir(sp?) arrafat(sp?) the "fellah with a teatowel on his head"


Thank GOD* its not an exam subject in my school


*rather in context, ne?

J Campion

Well you didn't half learn the curriculum! You deserve an "A" just for that, I think!!!

Peterfing

seriously, that exam PISSED me off. so much writing!! its religion, it should be all box-ticking etc...

I KNOW! What the hell do they think they're doing? I mean, there was a question asking about the meaning of life? Who the hell do they think we are. Worst examination subject ever. Its so stupid...

Okay I'm done but gawd that was a stupid exam. As is my bimbo of a religion teacher. She once tried to impress upon us that the Old Testament was about Jesus and his followers until someone pointed out Jesus wasn't in the Old Testament... Oi.

Who else thought Science was easy? Except for that velocity question. Thank you for pointing out I was wrong Marc. Hrmph. Apparently it was 2.5 m/s-2 or something... whatever. I'll get attempt marks right? Right?

PurplePainter

And wat was with the death threats in the german aural tape? stop the madness!

J Campion

I think maybe someone hasn't been getting enough sleep the night before her exams!!! Or are you serious? Was it like HAH if the Leavin doesn't kill you, we will personally revive the SS and hunt you down ICH BIN EIN BERLINER!!! :mad: or somethin like that? Damn crazy exam setters, they're out to get all of us!!!!!
