What comes before… Part B?

Weekly recommended allowance of calcium from the cheese in the title!

I was sitting in today’s Chemistry exam I had it all planned out when I saw the paper. “Fucking Atomic Theory” was to be the beautifully elegant title followed by the inspiring  “Well failed that anway”.

I love Organic Chemistry. There, I said it.  Hahaha I actually feel a bit guilty for even saying it. It’s like the only thing I enjoy on the course (although I have a soft spot for soap after today-sheer luck of looking at it this morning). Once again I think the SEC had just one thing to say for predictions. Okay so you can’t really accurately predict Chemistry. Or anything else. But no bleach? You’d think they’d have a sponsorship deal going with Domestos for cleaning the blood of children from their carpets. I’ll miss our games of “Really, I’m not trying to trick you, I want to give you mar-“*BANG over the head* “That’s it! Here, we can take his kidney once English is over!” It’s a bit surreal it’s all over. And of course, now that it’s finished the skies are clouded over. I regret nothing so about the mini-holiday between Biology and Chemistry. Sound out of it Jesus!

Initially I freaked out at 2pm. Hell, I freaked out this morning. Chemistry is not my strong point. Chemistry teachers, if you are out there: please don’t take it upon yourself to cut the course down. Seriously. Electrochemistry 1 today really robbed our class out of it and for God’s sake Organics is so important, even if people hate it. Rant over anyway, the exam is done. I can only hope for a C3 and dream of a B1. It wasn’t as bad as expected once I dove in but yeah, it wasn’t great either. It and Irish, easily my two worst exams. Heard the equilibrium question was nice but I skipped over that (I could make 2+2= √27858…. point 6) Also thought the short questions were a little bit strange this year, like Biology? Organics qs weren’t as bad as other years but the I didn’t like Q5 at all.

Most of you will probably float on after today, forgetting all about googling “leaving cert”… I expect an explosion in blogs about “is lady gaga a man?”, “has eminem cancelled oxegen” and “lol no srsly is she a dude or whut?”. I’ll still be sticking round for HPAT results, here and there during the summer (if there’s interest?) and definitely coming up to and on results day.

Good luck with any exams not finished and have a great time going crazy!! In case this is it for some of you calling here, thanks for a great year- you’re great and all but I hope we don’t have to see each other next year 🙂 Thanks for reading!
