I know, it's not even their shop! :L In the one about the fish I always get the feeling that there isn't actually anything wrong with the fish, the person is just trying to get a cheap steak :P
SO many people in my year got Vorischt beim Rauchen :O Every second person seems to have gotten it. I think that's why my examiner asked such an awkward question, she was just sick of it :P After I got it, the two girls who went in after me got it as well!
Ah, I apologise so. Do you often have pesky young'uns setting your farm on fire with their cigarette butts? :P

haha yeah like :L haha oh yeah steak ftw :L
really ? a lot of people got it in my year too...but sure there is only 9 in my year so... :L
Oh yeah all the time ... sure thats my pic.. setting fire to the farm, as you do :pac: ha my friend got a really weird q on that pic actually she was asked where the teenagers were in pic 5 (the pic they weren't in ) and she said "with the cows" :L never laughed so much :pac:

Yeah there are only about 20 German students in my year, such an unpopular language :P
Haha :pac: One of my friends had Vorsicht in a Christmas oral, and the teacher asked "Why does the farmer carry a stick?" My friend was trying to say "to herd the cows" but she said "to beat the cows" by mistake :pac: The clarification questions I got in mine were okay, she asked what they were talking about when they were smoking, what the farmer said to them when he was giving out, and what happens next.

hahaha... damn I was hoping nobody would see that :pac: just got farmers on the brain I suppose :rolleyes: Sure aren't all farmers hot, no? :P

That Herr Muller from the picture sequence is quite something!

haha to beat the cows :pac: I cant stop laughing that's too funny :L
ooh that's not too bad like

That's even worse than mine! :L We've about 20 out of 110 or so. Don't know why German's so unpopular.
I know, I thought it was hilarious when she told me :pac: The same friend in another oral, when asked "Wie geht's?", she couldn't remember the response and said "Es tut mir leid" instead of "Es geht mir gut" "How are you?" "I'm sorry!" :pac:

God I really need to work on Project maths. Paper 1 is great, paper 2 I've been pretending it doesn't exist. I just can't cop it.

I'm the exact opposite. :eek: Paper I is such effort! Whereas I can get (and have gotten) the exact same grade in Paper II with no study or preparation after doing tonnes of revision for Paper I.

It's such a nice language! Everyone says it's ugly, it's not! :P Yeah there's only 11 in my class so we're all pretty close, it's a lovely class to go into because it's so small and the teacher is absolutely lovely.
It's so easy to make little slip ups like that! I was practising with my teacher before my real oral and I told her that there's a Stadtzentrum in my area... meant to say Sportzentrum :P

Okay I'm definitely changing my internet limit to an hour a day instead of 30 minutes. It was way too hard! (Serioulsy counting every minute you're online is awful! Especially if the connection's slow...) I managed it for a day though. Might try to Will keep it under an hour on weekends too to compensate for the extra time during the week. :cool:

Day 2 of the 3 hours of study was torture. Probably because I had 4 hours' worth of free classes in school today. :pac:

Survived the 15 minute workout too, nearly left it but then I reminded myself that the chain can not be broken!! :P

I broke my chain after the first day :rolleyes: the shame
but started it again today (and in fairness I did have my german oral today)
giving up boards me thinks once I'm on study leave... tis the only way

Sooo unsure about how French went, like I was able to answer everything, got in subjunctives, idioms, plus que parfait and stuff...but I felt like the examiner was just firing increasingly obscure questions at me and ignored all the attempts I made to lead the conversation. Ugh I mean I din't think I did badly, but it was just a horrible atmosphere that did not resemble a conversation in any way, and she made me so uneasy that by the end I was trembling and my voice was shaking uncontrollably when I was fine at the start. Hope I'm just being paranoid, sorry for writing fecking novels in the thread all the time...

In my Irish oral, I was asked about my views on the European Fiscal Treaty referendum.

I genuinely laughed out loud mid-exam.

Not only did I miss my Wednesday oral. Today I find out I get to go very last on Friday and what's more is it's right after the best Irish speaker in the year. I'm confident enough in my own ability in Irish but fúck my luck! This lad is unmatched by a mile, it's not going to look good on my behalf.

Cian, you'll be grand I know that's harsh luck but think about it this way, the examiner will be all happy after his wonderful convo with the chap and he'll be all happy and nice in your oral too :P And even though he may be "the best" as you say, you are also excellent at irish so tis all good in the hood

I've gone through the first 10 sraithphictuiri now and I'd be fairly confident in those ones. Chances of me getting the next 10 done within the hour! I don't fancy a 50% chance .

But you're all sick of hearing about orals now:P

As much as we're sick of hearing bout them, you must hate hearing bout them so much more dear :P
anyways good luck tomorrow you wont need it
and the last ten, focus on the ones that you are bad/not great at
and mister don't get nervous/panic tomorrow it will be fine
