The Grapevine (OFF TOPIC CHAT)

I should not be the only one with this song in my head so I decided to inflict it on the rest of you. Seeing as how it's one of your fault it's in my head in the first place.

And 'inflict' it you have. >_< That's not gonna go away any time soon. No!!!

Only 1 a day? gaw so easy these days, how it go...I assume it started today!

No there's two a day. The year after I did my JC they moved English Paper II to the second day, and put Home Ec in its place. This year, due to the mistake they made last year with the papers, each subject that has two papers must have each on a different day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. That means that Paper II for me will be tomorrow at 14:00, finishing at 17:20.
Mine is the easiest year to have the Leaving Cert ever.

The only exams that I'll have on the same day are Accounting and Physics, which, as much as I love Physics, is the worst combination they could've thought of =/

I'm sooooooooo old.

Our graduation song was the sunscreen one. They played it on the radio for LC students this morning and the memories!!

For a second there I couldn't remember my graduation song at all and my graduation was only like a week ago! Ours was 'Keep holding on'. I'm sure tar will get all excited over that.

Oh ok, that should suit people better. I had many painful writing sessions. ewwww accounting ewww. yay physics, ah spent a day at them, you'll be fine =p

first paper all grand yeah

The first paper was waaaay too easy. I think the topics were too Junior Certish to really show our potential. The theme was 'the future' so it was all climate changey and stuff. There was no diary entry, so I was pretty much forced to write a letter >_< (it was either that, or an interview, or a radio talk which I hate). This is the first time I didn't write a speech because it just wasn't interesting enough. So my essay was a personal essay on what 'freedom' means to me and why I think it's important >_>

Also for the first time in possibly a long time (because I haven't seen that happen before) there was no picture question. Only a comparison of two book covers.

Ooh my awesome English teacher gave us, before the end of school, a speech on the importance of books. She told us to eat it and digest it (that's what she says when she means "learn it"). We analysed it in class and stuff, then she said that was coming up.... Well, it did. We were all like o.O

Anyway I'm quite happy about it. Too easy, yes, but sure I don't even need many points and I'm only aiming for 500.

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey
I hear it in the deep heart's core

gaw know that whole poem off by heart, no idea why
maybe cos it's near me.

I wanted Dickenson to come up because I like her poems, just got Plath I think, who is easy.

I refused to use quotes at all because I think that's a stupid system to grade on. Can write fie without em thankee

That time of year thou mayst in me behold... bah can't be bothered. I still know Sonnet 73 off by heart from the JC, even though I didn't study it because I was hoping to do well with my two war poems.
Quotes from To Kill a Mockingbird kept popping up in my head during the exam! Was so weird.
If you give blankity blank, you get blankity blank. I need a cramming session now so see you guys =]

Ugh english was so boring, I got pretty much the exact same grade the whole 2 years of LC so I just couldn't have been bothered. The crap that you have to do, we studied Strictly Ballroom and that crap Maeve Binchy book. Our teacher was the laziest teacher ever, any time she didn't have anything planned she just stuck on Strictly Ballroom......again.

Anothernight ignore that :P
English is great fun yeahhhhh

Ye someone probably just kept it, basterds.

I can hear you, just coz you have inverted commas there :mad:

Strictly Ballroom is that appalling Baz Luhrman film, it's cheese.
We had to be able to recite the whole poems, just pointless.

Don't think RIP was professionally recorded but RAR was, same dealio, here ya go........
