I also know of people who get accountants to fix things up so they can get grants.. and it happens all the time But thats not my point. I just think scholarships shouldn't take in someones financial position!! they are scholarships, not grants!! I've just got bones to pick with a system which says you'll only get rewarded for doing well academically but only if you're eligible for a grant :P

I do believe you can get into college on lower points if you get a grant too that's just plain wrong in my view, I accept it for DARE but not if you are only struggling financially

And if it doesn't fit in then I don't know what I'll do arghhhh.. Is anyone else here trying to fit in a short story? I have this sample story but I'm afraid there'll be a load of people using it too:/

Also I've got hardly nothing done today, I think I need to throw my laptop out the window. :cool: The NUIG grant is almost 2000 euro, such an incentive to study like. If I get it I'd actually be so happy! Saying that I'd probably spend it in a few months :L Yeah it'd be great, that + the grant + the Naughton scholarship would be amazing, I could live like a king. :P Does anyone know if in the French e-mail questions you have to put in a fake email for the person you're writing to? :L

And then his wife dies, he's in turmoil, but goes ahead with the race anyway. However he falls at the end, but everyone cheers for him anyway and he feels great because he did everything that was right. It's not exactly like that, but still it's a very good story. Yeah the only thing about the speech is I usually choose it for QB, and y'know it doesn't look good if you do both :P But yeah the speech is definitely my back up too! I'd just run out of things to say

Keep it to one specific event, capture it brilliantly and there will be no need to involve external family affairs etc. But you're absolutely on to something with the olympics, it's a hot topic for the LC this year with London 2012.

Not for everyone of course, but earlier this year my family were considering moving as my dad can't find work where we're living. It would've meant having to move school during my LC year and it was honestly the worst few months. The only reason we didn't move is because of my LC. Honestly, this situation isn't even that bad, I'm sure there are people who have had to move. I know that people find it unfair but the stress of this sort of thing really can get overwhelming to a point where it will affect your LC results. Just my 2 cents.

All I ate today was dinner and that wasnt even out of hunger, routine moreso. Also, I'm sooooooo sick of OL maths people complaining about the 25 points for HL. "OL is no walk in the park" - eh, and HL is? Seriously. Oh my god. The difference between HL/OL maths is absolutely huge and not comparable to any other subject, and the points are there partly because other countries do it and we were being unfair. Like I'm sorry but oh my god HL maths is hard we deserve points ;_; </rant>
