Had Irish from 9 to 12, and English from 12.30 to 3.30. The Irish paper was fairly hard, but I think I got through all right. I was in bad form for the English exam., and just as I got my paper, a fellow knocked a bottle of ink over my sheets and the desk, but I soon mopped it up and began. The comp. I chose was ‘History is little more than a register of the atrocities, follies and misfortunes of mankind’. The literature was very interesting, but I finished barely in time. Went home, and got Confession on the way, feeling quite satisfied. The other exams are to be some time next week. Mammie came back from Father Pat’s place at 6, and looked fine. She had a great lot of news to tell, and evidently had an eventful, restful and delightful stay in the country. There is really going to be a broadcasting station in Cork.
