what the post title’s alluding to

My first full week back at school has been rather good. Like I’ve said, I miss waking up at 12:30 (got up at 08:30, shock horror) but perhaps that’s for the best. I’m back at school, where our work is being geared toward the Big Scary Thing In June 2011.

Colloquially, it’s known as the Junior Cert. My name is better.

I won’t do the usual angst-y teen thing of going on about how it’s an incredibly flawed system and so on and so on because I’m not a very good angst-y teen.

That, and I don’t really have much experience with it, or the Leaving Cert. Patrick never did the latter and I was away in Tipperary intern-ing for most of John’s.

The Leaving Cert was that thing you did in between coffee in La Cucina. For this reason, state examinations and fruit tarts are forever intertwined, in my mind at least. I rather like this fact.

In other news, I’m in the process of jailbreaking my mom’s iPhone. It’s going swimmingly. By swimmingly, I mean.. OK. There are two main steps to what I’m doing:

Upgrading her to 3.0 and then re-jailbreaking her from there. I’ve done the first, leaving me with a rather expensive paperweight, which I’m trying to convert into something that can call, text and tweet.

Update ~ 17:51 Managed to fix her iPhone. Not before wiping her personal contacts/text messages though. I fail sometimes
