Day 2: Irish and Maths Paper 1

English was alright according to herself. Sylvia Plath came up, she's a depressing poet but the kid loves her for some bizzare reason. Mammy2 had ran over the macbeth quotes with her so we are hoping she gets the honour in that. With Chemistry and French looking weak, I'm banking on the other subjects bringing her up to the pass level. I got home to an empty apartment. Or what I thought was an empty apartment. The kid and the mate were in bed. I've never seen teenagers who sleep so much. I mean, how is it possible. The sun was shining and they were tucked
up in bed. The sunshine was lovely on the walk home, really lifts the mood.

Mammy2 had a hot date with her therapist. I was under orders to cook a potato dinner. Whilst they slept and I had an
quiet apartment, I caught up on some of my website work. Dinner of mashed potatoes was greeted by the kid as if
it was the best thing ever. Well, it is the best thing ever! Perhaps the coke that we also bought her might have made
her feel a bit better. There was discussion of Pinkgate as we like to call it now. The mate's mother suggested she wear a bandana in, so the mate K headed into school today looking like Axl Rose. I expect txt updates from the kid.
She's threatening to do everything and anything to the school if the stop K sitting her exams. Dinner over with, it
was time to go through formulas and questions to do with Maths. The kid has a good grasp of Paper 1 but K was struggling with algebra. I did my best to help her, but eventually left them to it. I was shattered and they had loads of energy, possibly from the coke they were sipping away on.

I heard them head to bed for around 2ish. This would explain the siestas mid day. Irish kicks off first thing, with essays and comprehension. She seemed fairly happy about the two of them. I have put in for leave tomorrow and Monday. I feel like I need a break. You'd swear I was the one sitting the exams :) With a few mad weeks coming up of more exams, work conference and pride, not to mention the kids's 18th, I need all my energy. Its going to be a fun month!
