Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Bleh, starting these things is always the hardest bit.....I'm not a great conversationlist at the best of times(adn an even worse speller). So....things that have happened since the last update....erm....cheilie record breaking, Cork winning, Near homework enough to kill, moral choices and leaving cert worries.
Well I suppose the good things first, Cork won again(oh yea...) so theres prolly going to be some parade taking place tonight, which means two things 1) barriers on the road to prevent me crossing tomorrow morning and 2) having to fain an interest in hurling. Well maybe it wasnt such a good thing....but at least I got to see Sean Og lifting the cup while I took a break from my mountains of homework and housework, he is so sound in real life(me and frosty were talking to him before we interviewed him for the radio) and I sorta feel sorry for him that his brothers are been taken off the Aus and hes not even tho the is arguebly the best of them.
And then there was the cheilí mhór in which I was only one of TWO people in my year to take part apparently, pity I didnt get a bandy thing, ah well. I must say, irish dancing is soooo much more fun when your not being forced to do it by dictator-like bean an tí's(awful grammar, but meh, ill get onto that later). And apart from that is was an all round good day, got to see loads of people i hadnt seen in ages, even if i didnt speak to them, and Im pretty sure that Maria, Laura and Jacinta(i hope i spelt that right) enjoyed themselves too...apart from playing cards with Maria, which can be likened to challengeing god to a game, they'll never lose!.......although to be fair she only won at poker, Laura killed us in bullshit.
Right, now onto the shit(in this case, meaning bad things)
Homework. Less said about that the better, although my resolution is coming along quite well.
Moral choices....not exactly groundbreakingly new to anyone but people asking me for my homework, as I am now one of the few that does it(and gets it mostly right) is REALLY starting to bug me. I cant even work at a sum in maths class 'cause peeps are ALWAYS asking me things in that really loud irratating whisper some people have. I mean the teacher is only a few yards(damn I mean metres...Im still not metricized) away, thier dignity wont completely evapourate if they ask him a question. So should I tell them and be sound, or just tell them to shove it and quit annoying me so I can get some work done.
AND FINALLY
My irish worries, I knew for a while that my irish was declining, but it was really brought home to me today by my teacher, who has absolutly failed to teach us anything at all since I moved into his class. Today he spent class talking(in english) about; GAA, the lee, the match, the cheilí, Galway and how easy(read: hard) irish is. Hes a really nice guy, but I just know I wont cut it in irish anymore, and I cant move up or down to a better honours teacher because the classes are all full! So the one option I have is to drop down to pass, which I might stand a chance of passing, but the teacher is only marginally better.....but at least every other subject is going great for me,so hopefully i wont need it(other then to get into university of course)
Well thats it,my life summed up in about ...er...1,576..alot....of words
