It’s not difficult to check the picture!

EDIT: Oh God ! I just looked at the Wethouse site on Etsy. They’re not very good at this tee-shirt thing…

Sigh. Sociology really didn’t go too well. It consisted out of 80 questions which you had to answer with either right or wrong. It was very difficult and they kind of screw us. The way they constructed the questions was very misleading.  I hope that the one I have today will go better. I have to watch a short video with a situation and there will be a case with a problem with it and then I’ll have to observe the situation and form a conclusion out of that. I have to assimilate everything in a report. It’s pretty difficult, but we have practised it multiple times and I’m quite good at it. I’m actually looking forward to it, rather than being nervous.

Do you have the results of the two exams? Hope you fared well on both.

I hate it when it seems that the teachers don’t want you to do well. I was in a Physics exam on Thursday and I sat there for ages staring at this one question, not knowing how to do it. I was getting quite uptight about it because this question was worth a large part of the total score. It’s only when someone else spoke up about it, I realised that it wasn’t just me and, no, it can’t be done. There wasn’t enough info to apply any of the forumlae we studied. Thanks for pointing that out at the start! If we haven’t got the necessary information, how are we supposed to do it?! Oh, you’re not, the teacher said. I just wanted to see if you could work that out for yourself! Thanks. That’s 30 of my 50 minute time slot taken on that one question :(

Hope your exam goes/went well, Linde. apple01

The teacher gave you a maths problem knowing there wasnt information and wanted you to work that out? What a waste of time! I’d have been truly peeved off at that.

In library school back in 1996, I took a class on various computer topics. One of the things we covered was DOS. Being the worry wart that I am, I was working many chapters ahead when I hit upon a situation like you described, Emily. I worked on this one page for several days thinking that I was just to dumb to figure it out. Then something clicked, and I realized that some instructions in the book had to be wrong. I went to the prof, and my suspicions were confirmed. She hadn’t even looked through the book that far yet. When the rest of the class was coming upon that chapter, she told them to see me to get instructions to complete the exercise. I was a bit miffed, but I helped everyone get through it.

Had another exam today. Didn’t go quite as bad as I expected. And tomorrow we’re going camping. It’s one of those camps where you really get confronted with who you are. I’ve heard people call it ”cry-camp”. We’re going with another class. The fun thing is, we’re really a unity while the other class really can’t get on with each other or with us. They’re so immature, constantly laughing at us and gossiping. We actually tried to talk to them a few times and some of them are actually quite friendly, but there are some rotten apples in that class

Can’t wait to cry in front of a class of people who dislike mepaul-mccartney

Anyways a (nosy) question for Emily, (I don’t quite know how to phrase this but anyways) Are you in your A-Level year/the year you do your A-Levels/however the hell you say it, curious me was wondering :P Plus I am extremely jealous of your education system, ye only have to do 3/4 subjects for your A-Levels, we have to do 7 for our Leaving Cert! Your English course is easier than ours and your GCSEs are simple a-hard-days-night-george-10 Care to adopt me for 2 years? I can make waffles a-hard-days-night-john-3Also I don’t understand your grading system a-hard-days-night-john-7

Is that really Iggy Pop on a Lou Reed memorial T-shirt?!?!

Yikes!

I think the T-shirts are a joke going by the website, see here.

I know, like I said, I looked up the site. But what else do you do if you ordered a load of tee-shirts that you’ve got the design wrong on, but pretend the mistake is intentional to try and get rid of them?

And if the Lou memorial tee is supposed to be a joke, within hours of his death, it’s in the poorest taste.

Someone who went on the camp last year just told me they had to climb into a tree while being blindfolded. The others of the group would give directions. It’s some sort of trust-exercise. Yikes, I’m not going to climb in anything.

That’s not even nice. They shouldn’t have done that. Pout.

Actually, no. I do something called Baccalaureate. I’m currently working towards my end of year exams (this year is important because I can leave if I want to), and then if I stay on I’ll do another two years. I’m doing 10 subjects this year. You can do up to 12, but I didn’t take the other two. I don’t know how it compares to Ireland, but it’s not an easy system. Most people in my class won’t graduate this year because you have to get 50% min. in all subjects. Bearing in mind that only 1/3 approx. of students stay on in the first place, and usually another 1/3 or so of them drop out before Christmas, you can see that it’s not that easy.  If you want to come over though, and we can give each other moral support, I’d be more than happy to have an adoptive sister. Mine has moved out now and I miss her like mad so you can ”pretend” to be her if you like. Her room’s hot pink and purple, will that be okay? :D Oh yeah and I love waffles. Please come!

I have (hopefully) 2 years of school left (this year included) if I don’t get the points that I need for university (I need 450 out of 600 points for my course) I’ll be repeating (but that’s not going to happen I am not staying another year in bloody school, bring on college I’m going to join a circus troupe a-hard-days-night-john-6 To be even more of a nosy badger, what subjects are you doing?
