Spent today and yesterday revising all of physical geography quite well, stuck in my brain now :P
Also I invested in a Less Stress book for Art History & I'd recommend it to anyone doing art, I know most people struggle with the paper and classes/notes aren't great and I've been finding it a great help

Gonna use this log to update on how I think my exams go;
So anyway English p1,
Was extremely happy with this paper tbh
I started with the essay, I did q7 on a reunion, wrote about a guy and his fiancee living in new York, and one day he's going to leave for work and there's a fire outside. Basically someone is going to war with America and they start bombing the city. Anyway James (the guy) tells his fiancee to stay in the apartment until he gets back, he's gonna go find out what's going on, and drive out to the suburbs to get his mother (we later find out his dad died at war and he feels like he has to protect his mother)
So as he's driving away from the city the whole city explodes basically, and crumbles. So he realises he can't go back for his fiancee Amanda now so he drives on to where his mam lives. Queue planes driving over his car towards his mams estate!!
So he gets to his mams house and finds she's dead (tear ) and as he's crying he realises Amanda might still be alive so he goes to leave, then the house gets bombed.
Anyway so he leaves the house and drives back to the city and finds his apartment block was blown up and he's lying on the ground screaming and his fiancee stumbles out of the apartment car park for their little reunion
Lovely cliff hanger ending, as they hug they realise they're surrounded by men in black armour, "and they're looking straight at us."
It ended up being about 7 pages but I think it was good
Question A I did on the cliff hanger which was graaaand, I enjoyed the tv references
I started question B at 12.10 so I rushed it...a LOT! I did the one on text 3 about the tourist attraction and wrote about a nearby glen in all its glory.
Overall I'd say it went great, I think my question B let me down so im gonna predict a B grade 0 -
P2 went swimmingly
Studied Plath and Shakespeare, loved the Plath question, happy with it
also reaaaaally liked the unseen poem i thought it was so cute haha I'm such a girl :pac:
comparative was better than i expected (i think) theme issue question was grand, kept referring back to the question and all that.
Liked the Macbeth question on imagery i got to put in loads of things and pretty much everything i wanted to
Overall extremely happy with English. Got a b3 in the mocks, and comparing that to now I'll be hoping for a B1/A2
my English posts have been awful happy, wait until tomorrow while i drown my sorrows after maths/geog...0 -
Alrighty then, fairly ecstatic with today!
geography I thought was a great paper! The short questions were fairly straightforward so hopefully scored between 70-80 there
I did q2 in physical, may have slightly messed up the 20 mark q on folding, I think I named the opposite ones the right answers! :P waterfall q was a simple classic, and human interaction w/ rock cycle was a dream!
Regional q I did the first(?) one with the map of a European region (Italy), secondary activities in GDA which was fabulous, and socio-economics which I kinda used all my regions to bluff through.
I did the human q where we drew the enniscorthy small map,
The question on resources impacting population, talked about the Sahel and Dublin
And the question on migration causing religious and ethical issues so I wrote about India and Pakistan
Geoecology, I almost cried. Brown earth soils appeared I genuinely think I was finished this section in about 15 min because I just splurted all the info out - before I forgot it
Genuinely happy overall, will be aiming for about a B1, if it was based on the paper alone I might had hoped for an A but i messed up my project a bit. :eek:
Moving on, for the first time in my life i think i may have passed HL maths :O complex number question was great, simultaneous equations are always welcome. The matchstick question was a bit dodge as was the stadium question, id say i got about 30-50% of these right so hopefully attempt marks bring me up!
I thought the calculus was absolutely disgusting, as i usually do - i will never get my head around calculus - so I'm banking on attempt marks alone here.
Financial maths q was grand although i didn't get out the first part. Overall fairly pleased - and by that i mean i think i may have scraped my 40% 0 -
Maths and Irish today, was it? :P
overall I'm pleased with maths, feeling more confident than the mocks which I got 41% in so fingers crossed I've passed
The paper was surprisingly grand except that question 9 at the end, I'll have nightmares about it yet :-/
Not much to say really, happy
I went into Irish today without even glancing at an essay :pac: so not knowing what to expect, I sat down for the tape. Wow
I'm so bad at tape usually and this one was so nice and so clear I got a good answer for 99% of the questions
Then I saw the diospoireacht on education and nearly cried, its the only essay I ever half learned, did it for the mocks. Flaked out a 550+ word essay and included "a mholtoiri" and daoine uaisle a few times, wrote 4 pages on the evil in the education system and was out the door at ten to three
Irish and biology tomorrow, unfortunately irish will be severely neglected. :P0 -

Irish p2 was a breeze, so much easier knowing I had no study done and have no plans of counting Irish! The comprehensions were easy enough anyway and I managed to make up stuff for the poetry/pros/an triail anyway
I was very happy with biology even though nobody else was! I feel extremely confident with the paper, experiments were great, easy marks for a punnet square cross :eek: some short qs were a bit difficult but overall it was all good, hoping for a high B or an A anyway!
Lovely day off tomorrow, art history Thursday and German Friday and then finished forever 0 -
Art history was not as good as I expected but I made a pretty good stab at it so I may as well still hope for an A. :P
None of my Irish artists came up so I improvised and did Burtons Turret Stairs which we had briefly discussed at the gallery visit, and then I compared that to Le Brocquys Family. I left that until last because I was so unsure what question to do but looking back its not as bad as I thought!
Was flying with the European section, cubism came up so I got a good 4 pages out of Goya, Picasso and then I did Guernica
Gallery question was odd, didn't get in most of what I prepared but improvised and just talked about the display and layout of the gallery etc etc
Not as good as I expected but hey its done now. 0
