So much homework so I only tend to get on after 9.

Aine; 14(month and a half or so away from 15);Westmeath
I basically like any sport with the exception of golf, I'm just way too lazy to play any;
I think I'm addicted to boards!!!!!

WanderingSoul

I'm Alexis, but you can call me any variation of either that, or any version of my username.
I'm 14.
I live in Dublin.
I have a younger sister.
And of course; I'm in 3rd year.
I like; anything to do with science, computer programming / codes, reading, listening to music, horse riding, Tae Kwon Do, piano . . .

bluejay14

Tae Kwon Do and piano.I have to say I never thought I 'd ever see them in the same sentence.

Tae Kwon Do souds interesting though.

WanderingSoul

I love them both. I'd say I prefer TKD though.

padocon

Blue what did I tell you about giving information!

I Padraig, I'm not doing the JC I just like pretending I do, oh and as you probably guessed that is not my real name.

Ok now serious. meh ye all know me.

I like business ect ect Doing the JC this year hints why I post in the JC forum and I too like photography when I am not lazy and decide to pick the camera up and as you see from my very inactive flickr that that is not often.

suitcasepink

That was years ago. I don't do it know all I remember is 4 directional punch
You know that?

WanderingSoul

Yep, I think I know what you're referring to.

toffeearmy

i done my junior and left school now im in a great job , people look for experience in work rather than what you did in school these days

WanderingSoul

Hi toffee. I gather you are very new? Like less than 40 minutes registered? Or did you get messed up in the whole hack thing?

Good point about the experience thing; you are fortunate to be in a job you love, with the recession and all that.

toffeearmy

i don't love my job at all it's just a good to have . Even tho i am in a good job i still look whats about , no job unless you are really lucky will pay the salery you want but no harm in keeping options open , im in my job 5 years now i hate it but it's a good job if understand me ?

And who cares about age? It doesn't matter here in my honest opinion.

So wanderingsoul, what belt are you on?

LOL @ how this is becoming a second Off-Topic thread. Should we ask for it to be stickied?

WanderingSoul

Yeah, I suppose so. Blue tag as well but I had to stop due to injury (I get a lot of injuries: I've broken : left wrist, right elbow, right shin, right ankle, both little fingers twice each, both little toes + sprains, pulled muscles etc.) and I can't go back till the summer. :mad:

Aren't you unlucky!!! Did all those breaks include TKD or just random accidents? Right shin! Owzies!!!

WanderingSoul

Not all TKD, thankfully, if they were there'd be no way I'd be allowed do it! Yeah, the shin was a killer, I had a cast and it was during the summer (a couple of years ago when it was still sunny during the summer) so it was really annoying!

Its hard to stay on topic but if you think about it, its about getting to know people and what other way can you do that then chatting?

As for the roll call bit... Present!

I agree, for all that it isn't strictly just introductions, we are asking about and discussing people's introductions.

A girl who's 17 in a few months is in my year too. It doesn't matter, she's one of my best friends.

Nah doesn't matter at all! Theres alot of people younger than people my age who are much more mature!

spurious

I'm 46 and taking Junior Cert. Music this year with some kids I teach.

I've also corrected Junior Cert. in the past, though not Music (I wish).

WanderingSoul

Cool! What subjects did you correct, spurious?

spurious

History and Environmental and Social Studies at both levels.

WanderingSoul

Cool. Just wondering why did you decide to go back to do the JC?

Luno

Is it just music your doing spurious? I was going to do it last year but decided not to just because I'd have to do it this years anyways!

Some of the kids I teach would not be terribly fond of education and exams.
It's partly for the craic and partly to let them see that no matter what age they are, they can still go back and do their Junior or Leaving or whatever.

M&S* wrote: »

Yes I'm just doing Music and would hope to do LC Music with the current 5th yrs in 2011.

I actually sat 'Music and Music Appreciation' in the Inter. Cert. in 1978 and got an A in it, but I had no instrument. I have recently taken to making strangled noises from a concertina so I thought I'd give it a lash with the 3rd years.

I'm quite sure they think I'm mental, but in years to come if even one of them remembers the mad oul' one who did JC when she was real old and decides to go back to education themselves it will be worth it.
