French & History
I’m gobsmacked… these papers were simply wonderful, almost… enjoyable (not in real life). The French paper this morning had comprehensible comprehensions, although the questions were sometimes challenging. The “production ecrite” used straight forward language, I can’t imagine it being too troublesome for many. I was happy enough, my vocab and grammar was only satisfactory, not A1 material and the aural that followed wasn’t the hardest of the past papers but I managed to leave behind a few blanks.
After the aural, I had the opportunity to study for 1 hour and 10 minutes and used this wisely I did! I crammed in any predictions I had heard of and the paper was nice to me. Many others were a bit disappointed not see home rule, Parnell or Butt coming up; Hitler and Mussolini’s church relations was missing from the european section- may have been a shock too, I know it was for me, but overall the paper was very manageable. My time management was poor and my last essay question was rushed but I left school today a very happy scholar!
I had the most unusual night last night. I was meant to study but after the long day I laid down for what was to be a 20 minutes rest but actually turned into 4 hours sleep! I was slow to get up and little study was done. A 5am job was in order for once again another late night/early morning. The sleep deprivation is really getting to me, I had the same dream twice last night which I woke up after, it was so lucid… in fact scary and only 2am! I woke automatically at 5am this morning, my body clock seems to be actually adjusting!
Today I will be taking the French and History papers. Am I nervous, yeah I must admit little. The French comprehensions vary so much from year to year and are sometimes simple but other times complex. I hope my grammar, spelling and vocab will be up to scratch, to be honest I won’t know this until I am in the exam as I have not practiced since the mock!
History will start just 70 minutes after French, the syllabus for history is huge, I mean 4 books. I am anxious, I have only learned what I have predicted to come up rather than centuries of oldness. If I am unlucky…
Art. 4 days to my leaving-certificate art exam. Today I took the day off school for a little preparation. I am here googling images for the theme of the poster, I like what I see and fear getting caught for plagiarism completely by accident. Anything that may compromise my exam scares the life out of me.
The art exam confuses me. What can I do, what can’t I do? Someone please reply! I’m getting images for my research page but I’m not allowed copy them onto my finished design. Am I allowed bring in lettering I have printed off the computer? so very very confused.
With just 3 weekends left before the exams, approximately 534 hours or so. I hope to spend long nights in cramming for hours at a time, sleep as little as possible and guzzle as much caffeine as
