My part (b) for text 1, who knew an obsession for Morrissey could aid my Leaving Cert.

When I saw the title for the paper was 'The Future' I wrote out straight away the Orwell quote: 'If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a face - forever'
Lo and behold, my text 2 allowed me to choose another Orwell quote, delighted.

I did the essay on advice for the future, went really well.

that sounds good dont worry

probably alot better and more interesting than a "haha" funny essay would have been

Thanks PlayGirl
I reckon I just needed some reassurance/ego-stroking!

Time to forget about it now though methinks....

Freedom to be yourself sounds like a good idea..
Plus it was about YOUR understanding of freedom so I'd say its fine. Then again what would I know!

:P

So prayer DOES work.... nice one!

I did the short story on "Its funny but sad too" but I interpreted it as 'strange' funny or ironic funny and not so much 'haha' funny.
Now I'm not feeling so good about it.
I wrote a story involving it being funny that good can come out of tragedy- anybody do anything simular?

Yeah I did the EXACT same thing, it wasn't 'funny' in the remotest sense, it was ironic and sad and depressing funny.....

Oh god, I kept spelling the most inane words wrong. At one point I was going into a minor frenzy over forgetting to spell 'obnoxious', for christ's sake. It just didn't look right.

Don't worry so much! Of course that's a freedom! Sounds like quite an interesting topic too! Being totally honest here, really

Wrote something very similar to that. Haha thankfully I'm not the only one. Thanks for the reassurance.

Mine was about like free time with no worries...

****e it looks like I'm the only person who did the personal essay on encounters with the dramitic arts. Got about four pages but could have wrote another one or two if I wrote faster for the earlier parts.

I did the A part of the Farenheit 451 text and the B part that was the letter for future generations. More I think about it the worse I think I done. Wasn't strong in English in the first place and was 50:50 on whether to do pass or honours.

I'm pretty much f***ed for tomorrow aswell the only thing I have learn is Boland and not very well either. Looks like a late night/early mornin for me.
