Why do I deem it to be a necessity to consume my body weight in food before commencing an English essay? At the rate I'm going I'll be rolling to my English exam in June...

I often find myself doing that.........oh procrastination you are my foe :rolleyes:

In a war against procrastination I would destroy it...after having a cup of tea first, of course.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I'm gonna have to be pedantic here and say, surely it would be totally natural to consume your body weight in food in 6 months?

This isn't right, it's unnatural, no one has posted here all day, I'M BREAKING THE SILENCE!!!!! :P

So what has everyone been up to?

It's alive, THE THREAD IS ALIVE!

Out of interest does anyone else's school not do mocks?

Ugh, if only

When does everyone do them? I was considering maybe ordering them myself in a few subjects. I think they would be more useful than just Christmas exams. Do people get examined by people other than their teachers for mock orals?

That was only the first Kris Kindle aswell. Still have to buy the one for school. I plan on doing that this weekend though sometime.

We were a person short though tonight and of course person who was missing had my present. I love the replacement one I got though, a money box in the shape of a piano. Probably more than I would have loved what I was supposed to get, I have no idea where that would have gone.

To tell the truth I've been planning for Eminem in August

Anyone on here thinking of going?

Hell yeah! It will make SHM look like a tea party, but I still wouldn't miss it

Don't suppose anyone's going to the Maths Revision Seminar in UCC in January? Got my ticket today, from what I heard from my teacher it's fairly good and it sold out the past 2 years :pac: so I'm hoping it'll be of some benefit

is that the one George Humphrey is giving, I thought that was February ? I'm thinking about going, it seems like it will be really good. I'm starting to get afraid about maths tbh, i really want an A in it but the way its being marked and the fact that people barely know what is on the paper is freaking me out!

Random question: Anyone know how many words an English poetry essay has to be?

it's quality not quantity. :rolleyes:
But you'd be looking for around 2/3 A4 pages I'd say (not sure how many words)

But then again, a person with 1 page of good and focused material and who answers the question properly, will get higher marks than someone who writes 3 pages of stuff slightly straying off the point.
