Leaving Certs:Did it bother you that Boland didn't come up?

Question

Because a LOT of people were depending on her coming up!

Answer 1

wel i had rich and mahon learned too.. and as for the guy who answered above me.. antartica isnt about bruce isamy.. he's in after the titanic.. now whos the r****d?

Answer 2

nah defo thought rich wud come up and she did. pity i only half studided 2 poems in total...

Answer 3

I hadn't prepared Boland at all

I didn't really like her or Rich so I didn't bother with them for study

I stuck to Donne for my really detailed study and he came up so I was grand

But there were some really annoyed people sitting around me when they didn't see Boland on that back page!

Answer 4

I was hoping Sylvia Plath would come up, I studied her poetry in the most detail but I was okay answering on Derek Mahon due to his writing style being pretty straightforward.

Answer 5

Was praying for Rich. The poet's that came up were predictable. Rich-first year(to date they've put all the poets on the paper the first year they were on the course), Donne, Mahon (Irish poet that hadn't been up in years) and Larkin who hadnt been on in ages either. Next year will be harder to predict..:S.

Yeah alot of people were counting her to come up but your meant to study 5 poets so your covered.

:)

Answer 6

Nope, I thought she might come up all right, so I had her learned. I learned two other poets, Mahon and Rich, both of which came up =). I gave some awesome essay on Mahon, especially on the 'After the Titanic' part where I lambasted Bruce Ismay.

You're supposed to learn 5 poets anyway, taking the risk and learning only one, is sorry to say, retarded. Oh I'm tired after today, swallow the pain-killers and keep going, eh (j/k)

I'm thinking the guy who can't spell 'Antarctica' right is a r****d too

Answer 7

Yeah it annoyed me...that was the one i knew the best

I answered the Rich question...i hate her!!! but i wrote a decent answer

Paper was sweet though! im thinkin B1 ;)
