im repeating so i know whats ahead....

just thought i should warn you all christmas is a turning point

sure youll get loads of presents

and i bet your thinking 6 months to go - IM grannnnnnnd

but it seems like after christmas you enter some kind of weird time zone where everything goes at light speed

i dont really remember much of last year it was more like a blur of WOO HAPPY NEW YEAR, oh no mocks, OH NOOOOOOOO ORALS, AHHHHHHh

LEAVING CERT

during this time you will watch your friends take one of two roots

1- becoming quiet, study at luch time, seem to loose their personality and become a nail biting twitchy wreck of a human being

2 - the opposit rout, they will start skipping classes in an effort to avoid the exams that are hurteling towards them, when you ask them "hows the studying going?" they will avert their eyes say "oh grand yeah....you going out tonight?"

Do the other reapeaters agree?

MERRY CHRISTMAS

What an encouraging thread. : p

My year managed to remain pretty sane for the ordeal... around the orals the teachers commented on how weirdly calm we all were. The most worrying thing for everyone was picking college courses, I think.

Ive guessed this much, mocks 4 weeks after christmas!

The orals soonish and leaving cert itself!

itll be grand though, easier once i decide on my fricken cao

Seriously? God I never found that... But then again, I wasn't stressed about doing the Leaving at all. April and May before the exams were the longest months ever, they just seemed to drag on and on.

I really enjoyed doing the leaving. I'm clearly weird.

I found the after xmas period to be the easiest.

The homework reduces greatly and that's what made the september-december period so hard(no time for anything other than homework....damn english essays

)

The hard part is motivating yourself.....but...just remember everyones in the same boat....and give it a lash! no regrets and all that!

Dubs · 16-12-2008, 15:57

well if that isnt some good old classic positive encouragement i dont know what is

last 3 months have just flown though and i have been thinking its still 6 months away so im grand... maybe your right

This relieves me greatly.

Your a fool, I'm sorry, I'm sorry but you are repeating because you yourself, lost the plot. I did my leaving cert last year and if you study you will do ok. dont go loose the plot, sure you will beconr streesed(

), if you didn u wouldn br normal but don get too worked up...

bythewoods · 19-12-2008, 19:26

I'm repeating too, unfortunately I'm not condescending enough to tell you all how you're going to feel from here on in.
Personally, I hate 6th year- you'll be grand. All I'm saying is...just don't take advice from people who can't differentiate betwwen "loose" and "lose". Ever.

Yeah... the title of this thread is painful, but it would be very wrong to use mod powers to correct people's spelling and grammar. We all shall suffer on.

DanDan6592 · 27-12-2008, 01:04

I'm sure it'll be fine

ironictoaster · 27-12-2008, 01:19

Threads like these are depressing! Don't why I read them. We should make threads containing phrases like "The leaving won't be so bad, if I study and work really hard"

Anyways I don't expect to do too good in the mocks but, I'm trying my best.
