Leaving Cert
Ok, so I said I'd give this a proper blast, so here goes;
Having a reasonably lazy day today, woke up at 5 in the morning briefly to realise that i) my iPod had obviously been playing into my subconcious all night long and ii) with the thought that it was 5 in the evening, wondering why no one had bothered to wake me. What can I say, I'm not the quickest in the morning. Having accertained that I had not in fact managed, what even for me would be a record sleep, I promtly lay back down again.
Woke up for real around 9 O'clock and lazed around watching rubishy programs on Nick with my Brother. After a good decent spell of that, I reckoned it was about time I started doing some work, as I have both Maths paper II, and Geography in my Leaving Cert tomorrow, fun fun! I'm hoping for an A on Geography, I feel like I deserve it after my mock. My teacher docked me the marks that I needed for as I 'didn't put the title of the fieldwork in inverted commas' I did try to explain to her that you only put someone else's work in inverted commas... but there you go! It depends for me really what questions come up (now there's a deep statement), as I've done certain countries/ agents better than others, so here's to hoping!
On the Maths front, I'm lucky enough to be going for one of the few courses in the country (Arts in University College Dublin) that will allow me to get in EVEN if I fail. I did ponder the idea of doing it deliberatly to be the first person to ever fail Ordinary level in my school, but decided upon mature reflection that that probably wasn't the wisest course of action. However if the second paper's anything like as hard as the first... well I'll be telling everyone that I did it on purpouse anyway!
That's about all I've got for now, but I shall keep you informed as to any other developments!
