how does this image make you feel

[annabel taylor]

Never read the english translation. Apparently she was a character and the book was edited down to make her seem more miserable. The first line about having one foot in the grave was a bit much considering she lived for20 years after it was writer.

Tóraíocht Dhiarmada agus Gráinne was a bit mad though

Only noticed I picked a picture with English edition lol

Means sweet fanny Adams to me and anyways i like to look forward , not beat myself up over the past.

What wrong with looking back at your past I had a good laugh at my old books copy books with the usual someone loves someone all over them, cringefest like, you should never forget your past its made the person you are today, it was meant to just be something light hearted, most students at the time hated peig, but its more at the time with stress of leaving you didn't appreciate it, plus we did a thig Na tit orm also, excellent witty book
Re reading it now half way thru this time I'm enjoying it alot more
And why on earth would you beat yourself up over an Irish book form your youth thats bit silly. But then I got A1 in honours without trying much joys of growing up surrounded by Irish I loved it always

Golly ye call me negative, every hear of enjoying the little things... I also found some pictures form my junior cert results night

O god lol I'm not ashamed to say I very much enjoyed digging into past, and have a lovely clean garage now

10 years on yup she still fuckin depressing but I can appreciate her now

"cos lei san uaigh is an chos eile ar a bruach" one foot in the grave the other on the brink
The opening line of Irish leaving cert depression

Still have nightmares to this day about Irish in the leaving cert!

I think most students doing Peig felt like It was torture

[Parker]

OMG that's a blast from the past
Can't say I enjoyed PEIG, it was just part of the curriculum and you did it.
Good on ya Taylor. Still able to 'Leabhart an cupla focal'
Once my leaving was over my irish went the same way(shame really)
but the way the language was taught was all wrong. We weren't taught to speak Irish
just memorise phrases and prose. So for most of my era Irish was a chore.
Just my opinion

is it as much about culture or just not being able to move
On and wallow in history ?
