Believe it or not I actually want to start my exams...came out my door at Front Sq. this morn and so many people heading to exams...mine don't start for another week...feel like I have been preparing for them forever!!!!

xeduCat · 23-05-2005 8:19am

Be nice to the people doing their exams at the moment...I can sense the tension from my window!

cuckoo · 23-05-2005 10:53pm

Was there ever life before exams? i have a distant memory of it.

The strange thing is that once my exams actually start next week the time will fly - it's just in the run up that time has s-l-o-w-e-d.

John · 24-05-2005 5:18pm

Kevin_rc_ie · 24-05-2005 5:19pm

tanned skin = damaged skin

the irish cancer society started their sun aware campaign yesterday, there was a dermatologist on the news saying that irish ppl have the fairest skin on the planet.

Kevin_rc_ie · 24-05-2005 5:48pm

my skin is fair. so fair it should get the nobel peace prize.

John · 24-05-2005 9:54pm

Melanoma may sound tasty but it's not

ApeXaviour · 24-05-2005 10:15pm

Neither are rickets, ever think of that eh eh?

John · 25-05-2005 9:00am

Mmmm, crickets.

Agent Smith · 25-05-2005 10:37am

Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me, myth! I'm a Toydarian (Race of anakin's owner in Ep.1)...

Do people in Ireland still get rickets?..

I doubt anyone nowadays would develop it really, maybe I'm wrong but far as I know people get more than enough vitamin D!

Btw -It's called osteomalacia in adults, sounds more scary that way doesn't it?

Agent Smith · 25-05-2005 4:52pm

i've a ripped sholder cord. been using it too much acording to my doctor.....

( no not that arm, you sick bástards!

Kevin_rc_ie · 25-05-2005 5:01pm

what's a shoulder cord?

The strap on your bag that goes over your shoulder

Agent Smith · 25-05-2005 5:07pm

no, its conects your arm to your sholder blade, INDY knows what i was talking about....

Chick · 25-05-2005 6:10pm

Tendons attach muscles to bones... and ligaments attach bones to bones at joints

DrIndy · 25-05-2005 7:53pm

Agent smith means his rotator cuff muscles - they stabilise the shoulder joint during rotation movement, reckon he damaged supraspinatus from the description.

Lengthy solar exposure or very severe episode = bad, tanning the hide is pretty harmless so long as you don't make a habit of it. Remember its natural for your skin to tan, but long term exposure is bad. I've already spotted some early skin cancer on people on the street/walmart here, but not actually more than I do walking through a street in dublin.

Rickets is virtually unheard of in ireland unless there is another underlying disease. The old problem of poor diet and zero sunlight from smog from the industrial age cities is no more.

Leaving Cert biology. I don't know what kind of Junior Cert you did..

Kevin_rc_ie · 25-05-2005 8:33pm

well i never did leaving cert biology and i'm 99.9% sure i did it for the junior cert.

DrIndy · 25-05-2005 8:34pm

Ooooh Ooooh! I knew that!!!

JC biology isn't a subject. JC science is.. But we know what he meant Pet.

Kevin_rc_ie · 25-05-2005 8:57pm

it still remains junior cert biology.

like i could say i'm thinking back to the old junior cert algerbra.

True true, same way ye could say yer doing junior cert astrophysics...

I wonder how much fun ye could have listing off yer junior cert stuff in like the states on yer CV , sure they ain't going to know what it is.....

Do you go over to them and tell them to go get it checked out? is there any ethical thing that covers something like that?

Like, if an architect/engineer sees that a building is going to fall down, do they tell someone, or just get out of the way? Or, someone who's studied human genetics faced with an awful pair of people that's just announced they're thinking of trying for a baby - do they scream 'no, you two must never breed' or place their faith in external nurture?

I really need those exams to start, and to focus my rambling mind...

Kevin_rc_ie · 25-05-2005 9:02pm

well i wasn't that specific. i didn't say junior cert anatomy

Pet · 25-05-2005 9:07pm

JC biology isn't a subject. JC science is.. But we know what he meant Pet.

So did I..what I meant was, it wasn't on the couse for JC science (at least not on my course, and I don't think it was any different the year I did it).

Do you go over to them and tell them to go get it checked out? is there any ethical thing that covers something like that?

Good question!! I await John's answer with anticipation (John I that is).

Kevin_rc_ie · 25-05-2005 9:09pm

yeah it was.

I think it was on the course the year i did it............. so they probally dumbed it down a bit after, they keep doing that with JC and LC subjects, god knows why....

They destroyed physics in my year, wayyy too easy no fun........

Kevin_rc_ie · 25-05-2005 9:13pm

There's only one way to solve this. backgammon

Surely though, the ethical situation is covered by the fact that you know, for a fact, that no one will ****ing listen. as are most things in this world

Oh right yeah.

And, I agree. The LC and JC are getting easier. I heard wee 6th years in the LC forum going on about how difficult biology is - HAH! I SCOFF at that! The new course (which I did last year) is a PIECE OF PISS. It's ridiculously easy compared to the old course (thanks be to god i didn't have to do that).
