One down, nine to go.
Finished the first of my Leaving Cert exams. English Paper One.
It was a fairly standard English paper one. The theme was “Identity”. I ended up answering questions on a piece about a potentially stolen/fake violin, writing a letter to Jon Savage (an author) about teenage culture, and writing an essay about a beautiful place. There’s not much thinking time, but overall I’d say I got on alright. The essay choices were fairly broad, I don’t think there’d be any complaints there. The “Question Bs” weren’t quite as handy, but they were manageable. Overall, not a bad start.
I was fairly impressed with the organisation and all that too, so it’s one of those rare occasions when I don’t find anything wrong with the situation.
English Paper Two tomorrow. Testing my knowledge of Shakespeare, Poetry, and my ability to compare three texts. A lot of studying to be done tonight, and a lot of quotes to be learned. We’ll see how it goes.
Any other Leaving Certers out there, let me know how you got on, I’m interested to see what you all thought.
