It’ll Be a Quiet Few Days
The next few days I anticipate my online activities to be pretty quiet, as like every other secondary level student I’ve exams all this week. So I’m forwarding my focus onto them for the next couple of days, once they’re over I’m a free man for three whole months - who knows what I’ll do with myself!
I may throw the odd progress report online, after all there are quite a few students from my school and other schools that read the blog - so I’m sure they’d be interested to know how I’m getting on in comparison to them.
Anyway, today was Maths (morning) and English (afternoon), both didn’t go perfectly unfortunatly. Maths was going okay, I thought I had two and half hours - the teacher said so, and so did the exam paper. But after two hours they collected them, so I didn’t finish the entire paper although I got what I did know and could do done at the beginning. I suppose I was clutching at straws for invisible numbers…
And English in the afternoon was okay. 2 hours, three essays so wasn’t too bad. First was a personal writing question, I had to write a prose composition on Ambition - although I did it to more of a speech context, as there was no real formula to the style in which we had to write it. Next was Macbeth - I honestly haven’t a clue in fairness. It was about Macbeth’s fatal flaw of Ambition, which I haven’t a clue about. I did study, but for some reason I just cannot get my head around this lark of Ye Olde Englishe! And finally then there was an essay on Comparative texts - I chose “The Plough and the Stars” by O’Casey and “The Third Man” by Carol Reed, with the theme of humanity within war.
Other than that, I think I got a good start on the exams, I’ve Irish (morning) and Accounting(afternoon) tomorrow, both subjects I’m fairly good at. For Irish we expect to get two, maybe three stories, a comhrá, and poetry.
I finish up on Thursday, so normal services will resume then!
