The Leaving Cert went off to a smooth start yesterday with English paper one. The reactions to the paper were overall quite positive, with people describing the paper as topical, stimulating and thought-provoking. The only negative feedback was students walking out with a sore hand from writing so much. Today is day two, the exam is English paper two and the name on everyone's lips is 'Sylvia Plath'.
If Sylvia Plath dosent come up tomorrow I’m telling ye one thing I’ll be going straight home to put my head in the oven

Students are prepared for having a mangled hand by the end of the exam:

Fantastic, no one needs to go home and put their head in the oven.
