    I wrote the watching a game one.

    It was going very well for the first 1 and a half page. My Irish was excellent, I was throwing phrases all over the place and it was perfect.

    The I realised absoloutely nothing happened yet so I got the whole football stadium to erupt in a riot in the last 3 sents. :D

    Not as bad as lightning randomly striking the seat a few feet next to you...

    I did the paper backwards so for the cómhra I wrote about Star Wars using the vocab found in the comprehension. My essay was awful, like I knew it would be. I used very simple Irish cos I was a bit rushed and kept thinking in French/German/Spanish >.<

    Oh aural was good too, our invigilator nodded off during the aural and woke up when he heard us giggling.

    Nice thinking. My cómhrá was about "The Lost Samurai", where I went on about a boy getting lost in Japan as the plot-line.

    For the scéal it took me about 10 minutes to understand what three fecking words meant that I never saw before. The cómhrá was a bit of a disappointment though becasue I had only comhrá's prepared for arguing.

    "The film was great."
    "No it wasn't."
    "Bitch."
    "Slut."
    "Whore."
    "Slag."

    You could have got a fight in there. :D

    you could have argued in the agallamh, it would be perfect to goon a rant about school uniforms.

    I did the agallamh. It was basically:

    -Students like wearing their own clothes. Why do we wear uniforms?
    -Stop populartity contests.
    -I understand. Students like runners. Why must we wear shoes?
    -They look nice.

    Except I managed to get a page out of it.

    I didn't even understand the agallamh....knew it was something about your school principal though.

    i only realised that after the exam, i just thought it was about rules in gernaral, so i had the princepal saying, if a student gets caught smoking their parents are called abd they have detention.....oops!:confused:

    i started off doing the spoirt aiste though after 10 - 15 minutes, i had a mental block ,nearly pissed myself!! had images in my head of the day we get our results and me opening the envelope seeing a big f! i was nearly crying!! :rolleyes:
    so i just went on to do the agallamh and the reading comp. and went back the start of the paper and decided to do a dispoireacht - which i have never ever done one in irish before - but it was about daoine oga and i had loadsa cool phrases learned, although it was only 1 a4 page long but i HOPE that my irish was a goog enough standerd to make up for it!!!!!
