My accounting teacher is suggesting all 5th years should go to after school study already, even through it's packed to the brim with 3rd/6th years. My christmas tests are the last week of school before christmas, so i'll probably start at the end of november. �� Anyways, i'm taking the holy trio, german, economics, business, accounting and then music outside school. My friends were shocked when I chose not to do a science subject and do all 3 business ones instead... i'm so glad i ignored them all because I LOVE my subjects!! Except english & irish, I have to haggle with my principal within the next week to allow me to drop to OL irish, even though i got a B for JC. Really can't stand the subject and don't want to spend the next 2 years of my life stressing with it, lol.

Irish is really the only subject I'm stressing over. I really cannot stand my teacher. I had the talk with my resource teacher last week about her. He said that my class came to him also to talk about her..... so I was not alone whatsoever in thinking she's ridiculously fast in teaching. He also said to come back to him if she does not slow down in the mean time. In fairness, she has slowed somewhat though still fast. I got a B in JC Irish (HL) also. I think I have a very lazy attitude thanks to TY. I am the laziest I've been all my life and hate how I am. I'm really struggling to get back into the normal routine before TY happened for me. But in terms of the subjects themselves, Irish is my only problem, besides my slow hand writing to which I'm waiting on the Department of Education to give me a laptop for. My slow handwriting is making homework much longer than it needs to be, being left behind in class in terms of classwork and getting it done or taking down notes.

leaving14cert wrote: » The amount of tests we've been given in the last month is insane! Feels like I've had more tests in the last 4 weeks than in all of 3rd year. I also can't believe the huge jump in the standard of some subjects... especially English. I think I revised a grand total of 5 poems for my junior cert, the amount of work needed for LC English seems humongous! The standard of HL Irish seems mad too, but thank god I'm in ordinary level now.... piss easy On another note, I really wish religion was optional at our school for leaving cert... we have THREE religion classes a week and all we do is talk and watch movies! My time would be better spent studying. :mad: It's also compulsory as an exam subject for junior cert, totally ridiculous we still don't get a choice for senior cycle.

My classmate copied my entire essay word for word and received a H2 from my teacher yet I, the one, who came up with the whole thing, got a H4. :mad: I've done two Maths tests, a Business test, a Music test, 2 Irish tests, a Geography test and 5 French tests in 5th year so far. My results have been around 60-80% generally.
