I was way too much of an impatient child to read like 7 books before finding out what it was, think I stopped reading after the one where they go to boarding school? And they live in a shack with crabs everywhere so they sprinkle salt on them. How do I remember that? >_>Historykitten wrote: »What ?! I'll loan you it :O how could you not find out how it ends :O

I always thought it was so cool, it was so mysterious I will defo have to re-read them
I'd love to finally finish them, I'm sure they're still lying around somewhere...0 -

Haha I had an amazing JC history teacher, didnt get her for LC
83 in JC mock, B in the real thing, aiming for a C3 in the LC, blegh :L
Ah yes, thats the one! :P I'd never have been able for biology, I am so squeamish; we had a sex talk earlier in the year and I had to leave
My year's really small (~75 of us) but theres this huge gulf of 500+ people then bam, its all 300 and below, its mad :pac: I think 10+ got over 500 in the mocks but I'd wonder how many of those were genuine. We'll see in August I guess
I used to be extremely squeamish. Had to leave a sex talk in third year I think. One time I felt sick looking at a diagram of a heart. :L I've gotten much better in the last few years, I don't even mind dissections.
I think there are around 75ish in my year too. I don't know exactly, there used to be a lot more but people have left/some are doing LCA now etc.0 -

Aw I used to be such a bookworm, I miss the book-loving me! I just stopped reading when I went to secondary school, found my library card a while ago and it expired in 2007. I've used it since like, just obviously not much! I blame the internet as much as I blame the amount of homework I used to get as a Junior. Need to read more this summer! I used to stay up 'til all hours just reading when I was little, wish I still read that much!
Any book reccomendations are welcome.

Oh The mortal instruments aswell peeps :P theres another good series 0 -
Around 5 hours is my average nowadays. Much better than 3rd or 4th year, when I'd stay up most of the night talking to my boyfriend. :L Actually instead of studying for my junior cert I spent the nights talking to him. He was doing his leaving at the same time so it was probably a bad life decision for him then. :L I probably went to bed around 3-4am most nights. Stayed up all night a few times a month too.
I was so messed up back then!
Haha sounds like what I do during the summer! School just takes it out of me though
I'd be failing everything if I started pulling all-nighters 0 -
