The Leaving Cert Student Twitter Reaction To English Paper II

It was day two of the big LC today, with English Paper 2 on the cards for students across the country. The nation held it's breath, praying one lady poet would come up in particular – Eavan Boland.

It looks like thousands of prayers were answered as the woman herself made an appearance. It wasn't all easy sailing though, as most people were raging over 'that' Hamlet question. Laertes and Horatio had their own feckin' question and everyone felt like their lives were falling apart.

Here are some of the reactions so far:

Also that Laertes and Hamlet essay is like writing about Patty and Selma in a Simpsons essay #LeavingCert
