The one thing that annoys me the most about some of my contemporaries is that they waste wonderful phrases on rather trite and trivial subjects and I myself usually avoid topics that are overdone and or innately clichéd by doing the complete opposite.
(There are even some well respected writers throughout history who piss me off)
However it is possible to approach more personal and introspective in a unique manner by thoughtful usage of metaphors and inventive language. Never show the world the full extent of your soul, the relationship that art, the artist and his audience has is based on what every good relationship should be founded on.
An ability to empathise but also the understanding of having to give to receive and this works both ways as always.
In hindsight you could negate the need to write about the effect(s) that other people have on you and more about the effect(s) that you have on other people.
As for what I’m reading now in terms of poets, I’d like to suggest that you investigate Patrick Kavanagh, Dylan Thomas and possibly what Leonard Cohen wrote before he became a songwriter.
(Just listen to him)
They’re pretty obvious yet influential men but you should find inspiration within their work.

I don't know about Ireland, but in Britain there is still pressure to do well in work - particularly in your last two years. If you want to stand a chance of getting in any good uni, you have to put 100% into both the schoolwork and the modular exams. The statements teachers provide in regards to your attitude and performance count for alot more now than they used to, hence the need to do well throughout the course of the two years.
It sucks, and even if you do put 100% in, you're still not guaranteed a place at a good uni. I guess that's just school in general though

We use a point system, were your best six results in the LEaving Cert are taken, and you get it out of 600, higher level subjects are worth 100 points max and Ordinary are worth 60 max. And about 360 is minimum in college with some courses requiring up to 580 or something

Higher end subjects - English, maths, sciences etc?
What does Trinity require then - something at the 580/590 end, presumably?

No it all depends on what you take in college, things like Law and Medicane would be in the high 500's

Yeah, I remember their A Level requirements for Law being entirely unreasonable. They were more demanding than Oxford, I think

Well praise be that I'm not qualified enough to go to Uni this year even though I really should be.
Actually to be honest I now regret my rather wayward adolescence.
Technical Colleges all the way.
