    Howdy all!. Anyone else feeling a wee bit worried right about now? :D:o.

    Just wondering, how much are we expected to write for each question?. And has anyone heard any informed predictions?.

    I always find that using copious amount of quotes from the poems helps to fill out my answers...:)

    I like An Cearbhach, it's better than a few of the other pieces of **** on the course.

    My teacher said about
    2 1/2 overall for Prós
    2 1/2 for dráma
    Whatever for filíocht ainmnithe
    Likewise for stair na nGaeilge

    But who the hell is gonna do that?
    Just do the stair and a good drama q and you should be fine if P1 went well

    Bealoideas is like the old way of telling stories, like they use exaggeration, things usually happen three times, the number 7 is often used, that's about all I can remember, better go study.

    Our Irish teacher is a professional storyteller. An Cearrbhac is an AWESOME story!

    I seriously have a mental block when it comes to studying Irish, especially those soul-crushing "stories" and poems from the 19th Century.

    Why can't the Board modernize the course it's so outdated. :(:(:(:(
