Irish and Business: Never Again.

148 Comments / Study / By

Image and video hosting by TinyPicSo, so tired. That business paper was absolutely exhausting. I ran out of time in the business mock, the paper was literally pulled out of my hands. There was a theatrical pen line across the page to demonstrate just how forcefully it had been taken from me. So for the exam today I was determined not to let timing get the better of me. I had worked out just how long I could spend at each and every question, and vowed that I would stick to it.

Needless to say I had written 20 pages and 90% of the paper in the first two hours, and was pretty much exhausted. The other 10% took the full hour to finish. The paper was (just like every other paper this year) totally average. Nothing too tricky, nothing confusing, just a nice straightforward question. The ABQ was on some lovely chap named Liam, who made solar panels.

Irish two was okay also, I don’t think anyone expected to see Gealt as the compulsory poem though. I hadn’t read it since we did it in class last year but as the poem is conveniently printed on the paper it wasn’t too bad. Stair? Stair was a bit of a joke really. There’s so much of it that I gave up learning it a long time ago, I usually dredge something up from the depths of my memory.

The An Triail questions weren’t too specific, luckily. I did the one on being a single mother in 60’s Ireland, which turned into a bit of a rant on narrow minded society. After answering a question on An Triail (naive young girl who was used an abandoned), Bean Óg (manically depressed, lonely young woman left alone by her egotistical husband) and Dá mb’fhéidir (lady who turned into a hermit after her husband died, and is also manically depressed) I was in a ran-ty mood.

Even though French is tomorrow and I seriously haven’t studied a word of the language since the orals, I afforded myself an hour (or two) after business to do absolutely nothing. As opposed to telling myself I should do something whilst talking to Franky, PJ and Ryanerz (love you guyz). So now it’s time to prepare for French. The thing about the written French exam is you literally have to know how to talk about everything. In French. Should be a hoot.

Anyone have a great exam experience today? Something that simply must be shared? Mine seem to be totally without incident.

    i ordered new running spikes………they arrived…………………wrong size 🙁

    not a good way to start the day but then irish 2 cheered me up 🙂

    okay so we all know the qu’en pensez vous question on problems

    yes?

    YOU CAN USE IT FOR ANY PROBLEMS ANSWER

    Il est necessaire qu.on reunisse tous les meilleurs ésprits du pays; des gens a cet égard, pour faire face a ce probléme, pour trouver les causes et pour évaluer les solutions qui s’offerent. Ne craignons pas l’avenir! Ayons confiance en nous-meme, les jeunes. On dit il vaut mieux allumer une petite bougie que de maudire l’obscurité.

    Finished in two days too! Snap!

    Ah Liam. I’m pretty sure I wrote Laim a couple of times. Other than that, it was pretty boring. Liam doesn’t freak out and murder people… Liam didn’t even have a partner to be annoyed at him. It was just him and his solar panels. Bleh.

    This is a comment this girl called kneeve left me. Notice anything funny???

    “PJ Ful, you misspellt ’should have’, and forgot to capitalise an ‘I’, and left out the hyphen in ‘part-time’….
    And given the nature of my comment, it was inevitable that I misspellt something”

    Aha! I was referring to Grace’s epic ABQ a few blogs ago…
    And Liam who says he’s a lovely chap up there = Laim.

    Reading it back, I do sound a bit odd if you’ve no idea what I’m talking about… 😛

    Whaaaat PJ?

    Come up on different streets…they both were streets of shame.

    Both dirty, both mean, and yes the dream was just the same <3

    In the uncut version Laim goes on a rampage, takes one of the returned solar panels from a disgruntled customer and murders 7 of his equally disgruntled workers with it.

    The trade union weren’t happy.

    Conciliation resolved the issue.
