Leaving Cert biology: a course so vast and expansive that no paper could possibly examine more than a minuscule portion of it. This paper was no exception. I left the exam happy with my performance, but I really couldn’t help thinking of all the material I have learned and revised over the last two years that will be absolutely no use to me, ever. Not even for CAO points.
I need not have learned at least 20 of the 42 chapters in my biology book and would still have had choice in this exam. However that’s the way these things go, unfortunately, and I’m glad that the exam went okay. I answered long questions on ecology, evolution, rhizopus, the senses and a few more things I can’t remember. I did plenty of extra questions and was still home before most people were even finished the exam, having taken a casual stroll around town and walking half of the way home. Before this is picked up as boastful (damn you Cian) I in no way got an A on this exam. I just did what I did…really efficiently.
I always finish exams an hour or so before others. This used to worry me, but I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I just write insanely fast. And I write an awful lot fast, too. Pages upon pages. The only possible down side to this is that my handwriting is completely illegible, but I’ve been trying to prevent that. Was everyone else happy with the paper? I really loved the full long question on ecology, which was almost identical to their counterparts from previous papers.
Good luck to those heading into the art history exam about now, I seriously could not face another full written paper this afternoon. I’m so tired! I bet everyone else is too, these last few days have been pretty packed. Congrats to everyone who finished today too, I’ll just look on wistfully, counting down the hours til 12 (or perhaps 11) o clock next Wednesday.
Wow no more Leaving Cert for you! Well done!
Thanks…but I’ve got an exam next week! Economics!
I liked the reproduction system question, but i focused a little more on the male than the female, whoever marks my exam is going to think mes is from medieval times, mes thinks.
Mes focused a little more on the male than the female when mes was studying, mes meant to say.
Didn’t they ask about oestrogen and menstruation? o__O
My, you are creative
Ooooh!
Yah, but my drawing was very crude and missing a few details. Heres the vagina, the ovarys and the fallopian tube, and errrrr, yep thats about it really!
And according to me oestrogen is a silly, irrelevant thing that we shouldnt be asked about in exams.
Have to agree on the topic of the long ecology question… They HANDED you marks for that Foxes question, they really did!
I’m actually so happy with that paper, cuz I really didn’t think I woul be! But maybe it’s last exam fever…
I’M FINISHED!
sorry, just needed to get that out.. =p
Don’t know much about history
Don’t know much biology
Don’t know much about a science book
Don’t know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don’t know much about geography
Don’t know much trigonometry
Don’t know much about algebra
Don’t know what a slide rule is for
But I do know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be
NOICE CHOICE!

Oh wait i get it, Frankys finished today isnt he? I think someone may be under the influence…..

ROll on 12.50 pm tommorow… HEY YE!
Noice! Another bloody week for me, I still have like 3 left, might go out this weekend though. What I would give to be finished today…

Today feels like a finishing day doesnt it.. are you doing extra subjects or just being a swot
Damn, you have only Deutsch left? This is making me feel terrible.
ICH LIEBE DEUTSCH!!! for being the last exam.. here lads is anyone glad of the orals now when it came to irish etc.. cos they were a fair help to me now i must say
Nope I only do 7, pass in Irish,German,Tech drawing(which i plan to fail),maths and honours in English,Biology and construction. (Hardly a swot, am I?)
i did all honours cos i wanted to make this yr extrmemly stressful and hard
Did you do honour or pass Irish?
Well hello everyone!
And because you made wise subject choices, unlike me..
Whats up ryaners? When are you finished btw?
Nice one Franky!
Hey Lisa!
Tuesday!
Oh the lie in tomorrow will be much appreciated
I did honours everything except maths.. Best life ever:D … going to fail the leavin. Or just scrape 450 for commerce.
did i do something good?
Hey Grace! 😀
Being in a good mood is good
Ais there’s a fair difference between 450 and failing!
“i did all honours cos i wanted to make this yr extrmemly stressful and hard”
SILLY .. or just genius
i hope my good mood rubs off on everyone else
not in my line of work
I’m in a good mood
Absolutely exhausted though
How’d the art go Franky?
I’m also in a stupendous mood!
well thats good to know grace

And uber lucky is understating it
TOO TRUE
Let’s be HAPPY everyone! 😀
My hand is now claw like after today.

That one always makes me feel gooey…
victory pizza was gud
Fuck! My singing must be shite!
*Trys kiss of life again
Don’t talk about food!
I’m starving but the kitchen is ALL the way down the hall. And I am far too tired to get up. And i’d fricking kill for pizza.
Thanks PJ, you’re concern means a lot
Listen to this one. He explains why pop music is so shit
i just ate the most i have possibly eaten in my life and im still hungry wtf like
Life is cruel like that.
Will do PJiddy, gonna eat first though
Waffle sandwiches….i owe them so much
This one is so relevant to us!!! Im getting addicted to this guy mes thinks
You have to look at that one, its hilarious!
LOL
very funny! 😀
so anything new anyone?
Looks like for once everyone has something better to be doing…..
Hey PJaaaaay
everyone hates me now that im finished 🙁
NEVER Franky!
We still love you 😀
🙂
Hey guys!What is happening? Why are you not wasted yet Franky?
im trying to reorganise my room but my mate came over half way through and shes uber distracting so now im left with one big mess
and PJ its dublin i wont live my house till about 11 30
This time next Wednesday, I will be at the pub, trying to chat up(and failing miserably) my religion teacher. Thats the plan anyway!
we had that night i got very close but failed also
Unlucky, I missed my opportunity on our grad night, the teachers were at a different spot to us, but ill give it a go this time. I’ve been licking her arse all year like.
So Grace? Ever have a crack at a teacher yourself? LOL
she was one of the h dip teachers, i got bck to her gaff like just she sobered up way too fast for my liking
Ahh shit, that was close! What happened? Bet you took a cold shower that night..
i slept in the bus stop outside my house, almost made it, not quite
Nah….that bunch of nun-like -insert expletive here-‘s?
Thats worse than getting nowhere at all with her. All the effort for nothing( Grace must be appalled by this conversation). I would prefer if it was like. “soooooo, miss hayes” “go away PJ”.
Not at all 🙂
Oh I forgot your teachers are all nuns aren’t they?
No they’re not actually nuns
They could be though
Most of them
in all fairness most nights out with me end up somewhere i shouldnt i rarely make it home,
dont give athletes alcohol theyre not used to it lol
Shall we be seeing you in the 2012 Olympics Franky?
doubt it 🙁
Ahhh dude, bummer. I just realized something, only got an hours sleep last night but Im still not tired.
thats nice!!!!
me myself i rarely sleep
Insomnia is a bitch
It sure is. Sleep is overrated anyway. An awful waste of time in my opinion. Im going to try and go for a 4 day all nighter at Oxegen. Oh and did you hear? I’m going to propose to Lily Allen as well, Grace was giving me some awesome tips last night.
i had a dream i propsed to lady gaga the other night, it was wierd
Lily Allen= absolute babe!!!
Hey feens and byores!
What did I miss? PJ did you get your self a tsquare ?
Grace thinks Lady GaGa looks like a man, isn’t that right Grace? Lily Allen is much nicer. I’ll invite you to the wedding, it’s going to be awesome, I’m thinking of wooing her with my great knowledge of The Clash and CCR. And then i shall “accidentally” call her “babe”, right before I propose. I’m fairly confident…
Hey byore. Nope I plan to fail Tech graphics anyway, I did find a set square and a pencil though
Is she not a man though? Lady Gaga I mean, I thought that was what was goin around.
Yes confidence is key
see the birds digg me running in the spandex lol
thats my trump card
Ah grand
I have such a lovely mental image….thanks franky
ur welcome lol
I’m just going to scouring pad my mind
haha, bit harsh lol
Sorry, take it back!
haha
Good golly miss molly…that is stuck in my head for so long!
Oh god, waved at my dog earlier (as one does!) the neighbour saw….now thinks i’m crazy i’d say
its ok i talk to my dog like hes a person,
now thats bad
Just googled the whole Lady Gaga=man thing. Went on the Lady Gaga website forum, apparently someone started a forum on her official forums asking her if she is a man, she never replied so it must be true about errrr…….him.
Oh I do it too!
My dog is kick ass. My brother decided to rename him Beverly.
So now our sheepdog answers to Beverly
I talk to my dog all the time too, he is very smart, name’s Brambles….
my sister named ours babe….
Ahhhh
I also have a dog called Roxy and another called Pixie…
3 Bs
ok thats that out the window! Awwh they’re cute names
But Brambles is the greatest dog name ever
I wish I had a puppy, they’re so much fun!
BTW Pixie had puppys not so long ago and we decided to keep one, her name is Tiny
Awwwwwwh
But Brambles will always be my favourite, we like to stay up late at night and get stoned together, have long philosophical conversations etc
Ahh…I play hurlin with my dog. He understands
Ok guys ye have to look at this!
Conclusive proof that “Lady” GaGa is actually a MAN!
So I guess you wont be having too many dreams about him anymore will you Franky? More like nightmares…
yes more like
i did mention that the dream was quite wierd
thats prob why
There’s 4 minutes i’m never gettin back
me also
I just noticed something. In the just dance video, a background dancers nipples fall out of her top at one part when Gaga says “just dance”. Is that even allowed, i think i may be the first to have noticed this…..
where did grace go??? o_____O
Sigh…I wanna see that film with eric cantona
I miss Grace and PJ you are well observant
Oh wait! its actually Lady gagas nipples that fall out. LOL thats weird
ye pj thats wierd, whts wierder is you researched if she was a man or not.
come bck grace 🙁
1 minute and 46 seconds into the music video, i have eyes like a hawk. COME BACK GRACE!
Pj…i’m scared a bit now.
I like Grace, she’s fun! I like you both too, also fun! (case you felt left out)
Men have nipples too Franky….
what has that to do with anything?
im well aware of tht pj
Is there a girl called Grace here?
We’ll tell her ye called Lily
lily allen= absolute babe
OMG! look Grace, Lily Allen is here, come back quickly!
Thanx Franky! But I really want to speak to Grace…… 🙁
96million for Ronaldo….I wouldn’t pay 6euro to look at him
This sooooooooo cool. Errrrrr…….. “Lily, babe, will you marry me?”
yes u wud lisa, lets be honest here
Thnk god he is gone from the Premiership
A disgrace……
Lost united the champions league. Very selfish player, will fit in lovely at Real Madrid
I really wouldn’t. You don’t know the hatred I have for him, many a shout of “Stop f***in dancing around the ball and just bloody kick it” have been heard. Plus I don’t fancy him
Real Madrid are comin to visit Kildare I believe!
And yeah, now Donnacha O callaghan on the other hand *week at knees*
Franky’s sickened, Liverpool for the league so next season. Even though I wouldnt be surprised if United play better without him, give Shrek a better chance.
liverpool will never win another league so long as rafa benitez is the manager
everytime he opens his mouth he walks them into trouble
Ok this is turning into a macho convo,
<3 for you both.
Night
lisa dont u dare leave
We shall see about that. There is no sense of victory with United fans when they win the league. When Liverpool win it NEXT season there will be a 3 week pissup
But…soccer!
what do u want to talk about then
See you Lisa.
<3 right back at you
Good night
No i’m saying if you want to talk about soccer fire away and i’ll sleep!
I’m not gonna force you to change the topic to suit me lol!
I’m not that mean 😀
Are you actually going or was it an empty threat?
i dont even have that much of an interest tbh,
I have said all i want to say about the matter anyway
No I was going but Franky threatened me…
yes yes i did,
and seeing as we’re off footbal we can tlk bout something else
so………
The enemy do an EPIC cover of Don’t Upset the Rhythm
I like stuff…. wanna talk about stuff?
*rushes to youtube again
i like music but not that much to be into covers and shit,
oh well
Everytime I see your name Franky this pops into my head :

If your a Led Zep and Rory G fan, then i love you too….
Tatto’d lady, one of the greatest songs ever.
And the last song I had on my ipod on the way home was immigrant song!!

Some say that aint right,

Franky not a clue
Ahhhh . I know of no girls in Tralee with the same taste in music as me. There all into Lady GuGu and shite. I wish i was from Kildare …….or the 70’s

Too techno for me mate
70s AND Kildare…now thats a combo.

Thoughts run wild, free as a child,
Into the night.
Across the screen a thin beam,
Of magic light.
Bye Franky, loveage!
See ya Franky dude, have a good one!
Its rory G i’m 99%
Fuck! I neva knew they played together, NOICE!
I know well cool
You is correct. check this out
Why do the two greatest Irish rockers ever have to be dead. 🙁
Shadow play! Thank you!
Becaue life is cruel
Rory Gallagher has inspired me to learn guitar, do you play?
No, I kinda always wanted to but never got around to it.
I can barely play smoke on the water anyway!
Actually at the moment smoke on the water is all i can play! LOL. Going to spend my college days learning.
Hahaha!!
Epic chooon though!
Good plan, good hobby to have
I swear Lisa, we are too alike. You don’t stalk me by any chance do you? LOL 😀
Yep, see look out the window. I’m waving!
I waved back! Have you got a brolly with you? Its pissing outside, come in for a cup of hot chocolate!!!
Jaysus its a fine night in kildare! I knew I should’ve stayed home!
Haven’t had hot chocolate in ages what with it bein june and all
Haha, ya its miserable here, typical! Just for curiosity, what other musical influences have you got?
Rage! Kildare will always be the superior county.
Hmmmmmm what have I mentioned? Thin Lizzy, led zep, kinks?
Pearl jam, dire straights, horslips, the clash,pink flyod, the animals. Too many to mention!
If by some freak chance you end up coming to Limerick next year we should sooooooooooo hook up….
I tend to avoid places I might get stabbed but yeah sure! compare notes on music!
Its not all that bad, the night life is class, my sisters went without incident for 4 years and i’ll protect you!
What are you doing again, something to do with media was it? Sorry for forgetting, my memory is a shambles…
Ah cool!
oh you’re very good, thanks lol.
K now I really have to sleep!
