    Im now in 5th year and picked History,Physics,Accounting and French! Have forgotten everything from Physics cos teacher has been out for bout 5 weeks now. Im only doin it to keep my options open. History is really interestin if ya like it but watch out for the essays. Awkwardly long! I re-discovered my love for French. Doesnt mean im good at it but its not too bad! Accounting would be my best subject so i like it. Dont find it too bad. Lets hope i get the points for Arts!

    Gave in my form for it last week...
    1. Music
    2. Art
    3. Latin
    and if i don't get Latin, Biology...

    Will probably take up Itallian and Classical studies out side of school or something. Although as far as I know, if i get Latin I can't take up Classical Studies too because they clash... I think... Only able to take up three sujects in my school..
    So crap..

    Irish, English, Maths
    History
    French
    Chemistry
    Business

    I'd love to do Classical Studies, but I'm not sure if I'll do it in school. Does anyone know if you can do it anywhere else in Dublin?

    We chose our leaving cert. subjects at the end of third year. I chose:
    • physics
    • technical drawing
    • accounting
    • french
    and then I've to do english, irish and maths of course.

    We've had (lots of) classes in these subjects since September. Doing the courses (most of them illegally I think). A maths inspector was in about a month ago and we had to stop doing the book (for the first time ever) and listen to the teacher go on about number systems (not on the course).

    Haven't ye been doing any of your LC subjects all year? I'm glad I'm doing them, just so it's not a complete waste of seven hours a day.

    EDIT: I'm gonna look into doing applied maths outside of school so I can do crap in the english exam.

    I am indeed taking up music. However, I've been playing violin since I was 7, so I think I have enough musical background that I won't be too lost.

    And heh, yeah, hopefully physics, applied maths and maths should overlap nicely.

    I originally wanted to do chemistry instead of music, but my school isn't offering it, and my other options aside from music were business and geography. So, yeah.. music for me. Tis an 8th subject anyway.

    meh yeah thats plenty, I believe your practical for LC is meant to be at a Grade 5 RIAM standard and you must have that by playing since you were 7.

    The practical and getting everything together was a bit frustrating at JC time, and it was a choice between Music and Business in the same block. I thought that Business would be of more use to me
