    Hun don't feel bad. I might be repeating again.

    We are young and make mistakes. What's important is learning from them. Do not bf scared to repeat if you have to. Just make sure you start studying in the summer extensively for at least 1 month.

    Seriously do not stress. You aren't doing yourself any favours abd you aren't proving justice to yourself. Learn from your errors.

    got up 5 fri / 6 mon / 6 today/ well worth cramming does help

    Your allowed be 30mins late for a exam so an exam like OL Irish paper 2 where time is'nt an issue could you study right up to 9.55 and then go in ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 241 ✭✭lc2010


    Got up at five which wasn't that hard as I was awake at 4.30 thanks to the swallow who decided to sing on my window sill. Boy did he get a shock when I threw my shoe at the window!!:P Fecker depriving me of 30mins sleep!:mad:
    Anyway was totally worth it as most the stuff i did this morning came up!!!:D

    I'm 20 right now. And engaged. Was hoping to get married in April but that's ****ed now cus of this dumbass education system. I was hoping to go to Edinbrugh University: do not see it happening.

    Do not be age concious just do what I'm gonna do: lie about your age when you are in Uni. I'm gonna be 17 in my first year of Uni.

    I was the same: start of year = 500 now I will love 360. Just relax. I worked hard all year but it obviously wasn't enough.

    Lol I'm no way in he'll repeating in my **** hole school either... I am gonna go to a repeat program school.
    Im leavibg everything to God. Everything will work out for you and me; don't worry.

  • Registered Users Posts: 89 ✭✭dodgystuff


    Got 4 hours sleep the last two nights

    Had Irish 2 and Business yesterday and History and French today. Left sooo much out, took loads of risks and it all worked out pretty well! I wouldn't say brilliantly but satisfied.

    Art history left to do. Gonna do a couple hours now, get a good night sleep, get up at 7 or 8 and do the rest :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,819 ✭✭✭EuropeanSon


    I got up at 6 this morning after working till 11 last night. Worked a treat, everything came up OK and I feel like I did great!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭Captain-America


    Gonna get up at half six tomorrow for Biology. It really does help, everything is fresh in your head. Wouldn't recommend it for a full day though.

    You're right. Had 2 full days on such little sleep. Honestly very nearly fell asleep during french today and my speed of writing slowed down loads in history about an hour and a half into it, running out of fuel haha.

    Thank god for afternoon exams!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭Captain-America


    I'm gonna do it tomorrow and get loads of sleep tomorrow night because there ain't a whole lot I can do for German.

    Likewise - it really was worth it but unfortunately I burned myself out for history and can't bring myself to do biology, art, and German! Oh well.

    Yeah - id die 10 times over then repeat in my s1ithole of a school- they're the reason im in this mess.

    And before anyone says "oh it doesnt matter about the school blah blah" WHATEVER! thats how i learn stuff - in a class room situation - then i study it - naturally and until you have yahoos making animal noises and squirting water at eachother EVERYDAY and have teachers who go on facebook refusing to teach - come back to me...

    ...
    Finished thursday - screwed up bio and french (i was goin for the A in bio) now - ill be lucky to pass . .
    Dunno what happened. Ive worked since 1st yr - and yet, i cant catch a break...espiecally when you see the yahoos who disrupted my learning since primary school walk out of the exam as cool as a breeze saying it was "easy"..


  • Registered Users Posts: 513 ✭✭✭Cormac2791


    Looks like it'll be a five in the morning on Monday again for me.. Physics and accounting!
