I'm scared I'll do the same as last year and end up finalising it one hour before the final deadline. Can't decide between my first two choices! What's on yours?

I'd love an arts course! :P What parts do you think you won't like?
I've got product design and languages down, followed by a good mix of arts and psychology courses (I'd probably hate psychology, it just sounds cool). :rolleyes:
Ah it was grand really, but I wouldn't recommend it! I don't regret it at all, but it's tough, especially at the start, unless you happen to repeat with all of your friends instead of having them all living it up in college while you head back to school. :cool: I've enjoyed the last few months, but I was a bit miserable at the start, even though one of my friends was back repeating too. And it's nice to have so much time in the library to get stuff done, rather than being pushed for time with everything. The library does get old after a while, but I managed to avoid that boredom for longer than most of the other repeats. :P Just having six subjects is nice too.

I dunno, just when I attended talks about them, I just knew they weren't for me I think the type of assignments that are required would absolutely kill me :P ha but if I want to be a teacher, I'd stick it out
ooh sounds nice you'll be well suited to them
ugh I've gotten to the stage where i'm googling "best jobs in the world" yeah :rolleyes: and searching the whats on your cao thread to look at different courses :L
ha ok, thanks miss thinking a lot about repeating myself lately :L
@Eathrin Jobs are fun :P I'd prefer it to school anyways even where i'm working now :P0 -

Don't repeat! Take a year out to find the course you want if you have to. But don't just repeat because you're indecisive, you don't want to end up like me. :P
Some of the assignments they get on teaching courses are brutal alright. :cool: I've heard horror stories about lesson plans. :pac:
And googling jobs is actually a good idea, I'd never heard of my first choice until a career guidance lady told me I'd probably love product design. :rolleyes: :P0 -

Ha it's two separate courses! :P I wish it was a combined course, I can't decide between them! Both are in UL. And yeah I'm doing DCG, did Art the first time I did the Leaving too. The product design course actually looks like such craic!! I went to the talk on it in October, and I was like, this can't be considered college, it looks like waaay too much fun! 0 -
I mightn't get my points either though... hmmm indecision will be the death of meDon't repeat! Take a year out to find the course you want if you have to. But don't just repeat because you're indecisive, you don't want to end up like me. :P

haha same and my cousin is doing arts and she was telling me all bout it :OI think actuary is the 2nd best job in the world? :L My uncle's one and he loves it, earns almost 2 hundred bloody thousand a year too :eek: Saying that, he spent 7 years doing exams :P
Ha it is in one of the lists anyways :L ha I've went on work exp in it and I was all hopeful bout it until dun dun dun the orals ... my examiner and I had a big chat about actuaries and he was telling me how stressful the job is (all in irish of course :L ) etc... and then I was talking to a friend a couple of weeks back and she was telling me her cousin was an actuary and it was so stressful and stuff and I dunno if that's really what I want I've had the whole working and managing school the last few years I dunno if I want that my whole life 0 -

Ah you probably will though. My brother repeated too - snap!! :P One main reason I went back was because my other brother told me if he could go back in time, he'd have repeated and actually worked instead of ending up doing eight years in college. :eek: But like that's just me and him, we're too lazy to get it right the first time. :rolleyes: I don't even know what it's supposed to mean. :pac: I guess I'm just not a good example of how to go about going to college and all. :P Yeah I've a few friends doing arts and they were telling me about it but that makes me like the sound of it more! Apart from the essays and assignments and numerous exams and stuff. :cool: :P 0 -

This really does look awesomeIt is the aim of the course to educate you as a designer. You will learn about design, modelling and aesthetics, including elements of science and technology.
I love that word. :pac: That actually sounds epic, and it's a science degree which is sweet too. I had a language-based course down for ages too, Linguistics in DCU I think! Unreal interesting, but really the only thing you could do with it is a PhD, or be a translator. :P I'm actually gona stick this down on my CAO, looks deadly. The only thing that'd put me off is it being in Limerick, even tho I've never been to it the reputation would scare me off. :pac:0 -

Haha, I'm a fan of that word meself! Ah UL seems unreal though, it's got the biggest campus in the country so the atmosphere is meant to be brilliant! Just seems like an epic college, I've it down five or six times even though I would be a little scared of the city, but the awesomeness of the college cancels that out. 0 -

I still can't believe it's on in 9 days. I'm going to try and get all my subjects covered by this wednesday that way I can feel more ready . I have the majority done it's mainly just learning it off properly. I have to definitely wake up early from now on. I always say this and don't get up til 9am and don't start until 10-12 I really am going to for this week.
I was more productive during easter. Going back to that from now. Starting from 8am I must sleep much earlier too. 0 -
