No tests tomorrow for once, love my life! Also I'm immensely proud of myself for writing an almost 7 page comparative essay in 2 and a half hours, I thought it would take me at least 4

Very nice indeed. I think there's something wrong with me I haven't done the slightest bit of work today and my teachers are just after getting mad at me...

My intro was about a quarter of a page, which is normal? Yeah? S: And then the two paragraphs/points were almost a page long each.

I have three more points to write about which I'll probably get for homework the next day! It'll take me just as long.. 3 hours probably. Ughh English.
But yeah, my essays are usually 4-5 pages. :P 6 at the most!
BUT WHY MUST IT TAKE SO LONG TO WRITE THE FRIGGING YOKES? O:

p.s. the only thing i wrote about his actual life was that he won a Nobel Prize for English. xD

Yeah dont worry, your essay sounds fine

When you have it learned you'll be able to write it quicker :P I wouldnt know, I usually type mine :cool:

History test in an hour...why am I on boards?

Got luck on my side! Got a free class for English so studied Chapter 10 in the book as much as I could. I think I got around the 60's so happy enough:pac:

I do my homework in Home Ec, I get good results, I listen to the teacher, I don't mess around in the class so why am I getting lumped in with class punishment work for when some idiots in the class didn't do their homework and was messing around

Canard · 26-10-2011 4:13pm

I just wouldnt do it, honestly. Better things to do in 6th year. It pisses me off so much when teachers do that.

I'll just do it anyway, it's somewhat educational, it's just a lot more extra questions to do on the chapter

Also, my careers teacher told us that we need to have 10 lvl 7 courses done out for tomorrow, I have 5 done and it's all courses that I don't want to do or have no interest in it. This is a waste of time, I have a course at lvl 8 that I want to do and know I can achieve the points for it.

Then I'd be looking harder for Lvl 7 ones and more lvl 8s. You need more than one course you want to do, even if you get the points you can still lose out on random selection.

Had a free class too but decided to do the maths homework I "forgot" to do instead. Still happy with how it went I felt I managed a B.

Does anyone know where that thread is with those programs that ban you going on the computer?

I have 2-3 more lvl 8 courses that I want to do if I don't get the course I want which Computer Applications at DCU

If I don't do any productive study over the midterm I'm doomed for Christmas exams!

shefellover93 · 26-10-2011 6:53pm

Gotten outta the habit of doing my homework in time! Think I'd wanna go do mine now before training

In my head this midterm is unbelievably productive, Sunday week I'd say I'll be kicking myself for not doing anything

donvito99 · 26-10-2011 8:24pm

Midterm plan is as follows:

Monday, Tuesday...happy days....anyone:rolleyes::D*

Wednesday: 10 hours study

Thursday: 10 hours study, Physics -> discover sub-sub atomic particles

Friday: only 9 hours study + 1 hour of mad raving alcohol fuelled session

Saturday: 11 hours study, gotta catch up due to mad raving alcohol fuelled session

Sunday: Day of rest..... Rest smesht. 12 hours study and mass, where I'll pray for 600 points.

Some say thats ambitious. I say this is the fupping leaving cert. Roll on the midterm.

Got a dilemma bitches. :P

Ok so I know I wanna teach. Defo that's what I wanna do.
But I wanna teach biology/maths. That's grand.
But I'd also like to teach english.

I'm afraid of going on to do maths and biology and then getting bored with it. I genuinely love both subjects, and I wanna teach them because I love them, but I'm afraid of getting bored doing the same things day in/day out because there's nothing new to learn.

But I like english too. And I think it'd be good to teach because you won't do the same things every year. Different poets/plays etc.

You know?

So what should I do? I'm genuinely torn..

:pac:

Siobhnk · 26-10-2011 8:34pm

Getting so much nagging to study it's annoying me.

EmptyWithMe · 26-10-2011 10:57pm

So I'm just writing up the last implementation page of my last home ec journal. Handing it all up tomorrow for corrections, then I get to write it in the to sh*tty little book and FREEDOMMMMMMMMMMMM!

For a week, atleast..

I hate you Home Ec.

Siobhnk · 26-10-2011 11:05pm

I finished my home ec journal 40 minutes ago. And I don't feel like doing my happy dance for some reason

downer much :L

EmptyWithMe · 26-10-2011 11:10pm
