They're over! THE EXAMS ARE OVER! WOOOOO! They weren't one-tenth as bad as the Leaving Cert, though ( Read more... )

I'm up in college now, and have finished my studying for the night. I'm just sitting in my room...feeling kind of lonely...feh! I will just be so glad tomorrow afternoon when my exams are over and I'll have a whole week off. But I know I will then be dreading coming back to college properly; I'll have to adjust all over again.

Snow! Beautiful SNOW this morning, tumbling out of the sky and making the countryside into a winter wonderland and making everything deadly, softly quiet. Unfortunately, by the time I'd had breakfast and ventured out for a walk, it was sleeting down and the snow had mostly turned to slush ( Read more... )

I went up to college on the train this morning for my Poetry exam. It was OK; I wrote about Romanticism and Seamus Heaney. Actually I think I may have done quite well! :) My last exam is on Thursday, and this exam is so worrying that I will not discuss it here any further ( Read more... )

I have run out of foundation and blusher at the same time. Only to discover that they have both been discontinued. My mother says that make-up companies do this all the time. I am unreasonably irritated, but I don't to try NEW kinds of make-up, I just want my OLD make-up back! Argh ( Read more... )

My hypnosis CD hasn't really worked for the past few nights :( I'm disappointed, but I'm also holding onto the thought that it worked all of last week, and also that every time I listen to it I NEARLY fall asleep, so it's not like it's not working at all ( Read more... )

The hypnotist was lovely, and he put goggles and earphones on me, so there was his voice in my ear and all this flashing lights going off in my eyes. It was cool, it just put me into a ( Read more... )

This evening I decided to leave the studying and go to the cinema with Liam, Bryan and Mark, FINALLY to see Twilight. Verdict: I thought it was good film, a great cinematic experience. I was amazed at how the actual mood of the book was captured - kind of melancholy, slow-moving and brooding - and how much of it matched the images in my head. And ( Read more... )

I never thought that I wouldn't be over my cold more than a week after I first got it, but there you go. Apparently there's now some sort of problem with my sinuses, causing first my eyes (yes, my eyes) and then my ears to ache. Meh ( Read more... )

In our first English class today, we got started on ideas for the cultural context of our comparative studies essay, because we really, really need to get it done before the Leaving Cert. Everyone was enthusiastic and and coming up with ideas and Mrs Y was scribbling away on the board and when the bell went she shrieked, 'Not AGAIN!' She never ( Read more... )
