    Lol, the first think I thought when I read Cian's post was 'ara musha!' :pac:

    (Culchie and I know it.) :D *Dances*

    I love your culchiness.
    We need a real inner city dub in here to oxymoron this thread up.:p

    Edit: Just found this on UrbanDictionary: "Ara Musha Fnaw" Does this actually exist, 3 meaningless in sequence?

    No, I just happened to see them on a stand in Eason(I guess they're popular so:p) and flicked through a few pages, but it got me thinking; THIS, in 3 books? The plot doesn't sound like it could span it! Then again I'm not much of a bibliophile:o.

    They are getting more popular, I think, due to the film :P :)
    Yes , it can span out into 3 books :P Its brilliant , and it was really clever what she did in the second book (but you'll never know, because you'll never get round to reading them :P ) The books aren't even that long like :P Oh Cian :( will you at least watch the film ? :o:(

    Aw shucks, GRMA! :D Never heard that but 'ara musha' is common enough. :D I prefer slang.ie to Urban Dictionary, just look at this :pac: I have to make that a phrase I use! :P

    Does anybody here own the "Ceol" CDs. I'm desperate to get my hands on the music, only can get a limited amount off youtube, and the Cds on their own are so expensive!

    Just had English Paper 1 :D I wrote 12 pages altogether - 2.5 for A, 3.5 for B (which is apparently way more than the required 1.5 pages but I didnt know that! :pac:) and 6 and a bit for my short story. Dunno if I'll lose purpose marks since it isnt very short but its all relevant, and if I hadnt explained things then it wouldve been too snappy and fast - plus the exam pages are smaller than normal pages anyway.

    Chuffed :)

    oh and i ran into my geography teacher and asked him about the overall coherence marks in the atmosphere-ocean questions and he said theyre for headings, intro and conclusion and that if i have them, and full sentence bullet points, ill still get the marks. makes sense i guess. :)

    Well done, very good! =) I'm hoping to get some results tomorrow, Art and Construction came back today, I don't do either of 'em though. I think I got around 290/300 in the mocks on night-before study. Aiming for about 440/450 in June I think!

    Thank you haha! :)

    I mostly fell down in everything by not being able to finish them, I couldn't finish most of my exams, which deducted from my overall mark greatly!

    Home Ec for example, I couldn't get a full 2 questions done, but everything else I did, I got full marks in, so essentially everything I tried I got 100% in.

    It's really frustrating because I know if I could just write quicker I could easily get well over 450 points. :/

    did anyone else find there was no time pressure in english p1? i finished considerably early and i wasnt even rushing. my teacher had said 'if youre finished early youve done something wrong', the only "error" i made was writing more than required :pac:

    I finished it with enough time to read over some stuff and correct bits so I didn't find it too time constrained.

    I think I might have barely finished Paper I in time. I usually find it very hard time wise though, the first time I got an essay done in the right amount of time was in the actual Leaving Cert, and that was just down to me writing fast when under pressure.

    Patchy how the hell can you be that good at Paper I?! :eek: :P

    Congrats to all that got results! :) ContheCat don't worry too much, just work hard from that till the exams i'm sure you'd be well able to get that up to an A or a B!

    Still no Mocks back yet, hopefully I will get some tomorrow! It's been 4 weeks since we did English so hopefully we'll get it by the end of this week! :D god knows they'd want to be marked well waiting this long! :P

    I finished Paper I in the last 2 minutes! I did 6.5 pages for the essay, 4 for part A and 3.5 for part B. I'll still probably do average enough in Paper I, the cliché us true, 'quality not quantity!'

    *Lots of reading, *lots of writing! :(

    But you wrote SO much! Maybe they shrunk your exam booklets... Yeah, that must be it. :P

    And I don't know what 'dexterity' means. :o I feel so smart right now. :pac:

    How does everyone write so much? :eek: No wonder English is so competitive! That's class, ah the quantity can't do too much harm though. ;)

    I wrote 8 pages for paper 1 and 8 for paper two.. My paper 2 woulda been like 10+ but I didn't study the comparative so my essay for that was like a page :rolleyes:
