1. Christmas tests (original excuse, I know).

2. Results of aforementioned tests. Don’t get me wrong, I did fine but I was disappointed with a few of them so I tried to put in a bit of extra study to make up for it.

3. Internet boycott following aforementioned results of aforementioned tests (word of the day: aforementioned). I decided to do this because my study time consists of going on Facebook and complaining about my lack of study. Also, I realised that I remember a status a girl in my French class wrote about her rabbits two weeks ago, yet I don’t remember the French word for rabbit. Or the French word for anything… Anyway, in what seemed an attempt to spur me on in my boycott, my internet broke the week of Christmas.

4. Christmas. Who could possibly think of Calculus or the formation of a cliff when there’s mountains of food and every Harry Potter/ Indiana Jones movie ever made on TV? A stronger person than I, that’s who.

5. Internet catch-up session following aforementioned internet boycott following aforementioned results of aforementioned tests (otherwise known as stalking).

Thankfully other bloggers have been dedicated enough to keep the homepage fresh. Reading through all the posts, I’m glad we all seem to be in the same boat. However, I still haven’t filled out my CAO (I could commit the most rebellious act, which is to fill it out at 5.14 pm on the 1st of February).

I’m going to have to cut this short because I still have an essay to do before we go back to school (someone is going to have to drag me out of my bed kicking and screaming Monday morning).

Au revoir, mes lapins!

Anyway back to the task at hand (which in my case should be my French Mock tomorrow! ) I cannot believe how fast this year is going, one minute its October Tests, then you blink and you’re in the middle of mocks! How did that happen??  From writing this sentence it is only 99 days, 16hours, 55minutes and 29seconds until English Paper One begins on June 9th….. Just thought I’d give us all a little heart attack there (don’t kill me!)

Ah all panic aside I cannot wait to leave secondary school. Im quite young at 17 in sixth year but I’m sure you’ve all looked at first and second years and thought “was I really ever that small??” (and standing at 5′4″-ishI’m hardly Goliath myself!) Seriously though, I can’t help but look at some of them with their teddy key-rings on their schoolbags and little decorated lockers and think “GET ME OUT OF HERE!!”

When CAO deadline came around on the 1st of February it was such a relief, it was like “that’s it! it’s done and I’m not thinking about it until may!” My first preference is UCD for International Modern Languages (DN069) but since it’s only in it’s first year I don’t know anyone who’s taken it. Languages at Third Level are supposed to be pretty difficult so I’d love some advice if there’s anyone out there  who’s been there?!

Anyway for me it’s back to my Jounal Intime

Bye!
