Redisle

Just wondering, how much study are you guys planning on doing for the week?

I think I will get all the homework done and do maybe 2 hours each day.. not enitely sure yet..

Looking at a lot considering i've a week of exams right after midterm (my school's equivalant to xmas exams). So more then likely at least five hours most days this week I've a lot to catch up on. Eeeep.

Only homework I got was biology were I have to do all paper 2007, luckily they have the code on the bottom on each page so with e-xamit.ie I can have it done in a few minutes.

Might do something next weekend... maybe

I'll do my homework.. but studying... probably not. I'll do some art. That's study.

Both studying and working at the same time, lucky for some.

I'll forget what I wrote in 5mins in biology, hate the subject with a passion

I love midterm! you dont have to do stuff. I've a pile of homework though, so will be doing three or four hours a day. I just finished my history rsr essay! Got it down to 1500 words. I also have to catch up on piano and economics, my extra subject this week. Yikes, a lot to do.

I have to do my Home Ec journal, and my first draft of my Geography field study thing, and write three pages about my document for my French oral. I think I have an English essay too.
I should really do them all, but it's midterm so I'm not bothered. I really do need to have my Home Ec journal done though, cos it gets sent away next week.

While I got all my homework done early on in the week(except for that bloody History Special Study which I think I'll just leave for a few more weeks...!), I did very little study. I had such great ambitions at the start of the week that I'd get through a lot of material, als it didn't materalise and this week was a complete waste! Man, I need to get motivated and get some work done!

Everything fell apart during the week. We (Family) decided we'd do some home decor and that finished on Wednesday, study room was in sh*t on Thursday so I tidied it. Started study on Friday but couldn't focus. Today I just did Maths and German. Tommorrow I've got a lot of stuff to do and as usual i'm going to realise that I've actually more stuff to do!

Had biology grinds in tutorial in limerick saturday morning, thats all the work ive done, I've got a whole paper of biology to do today...

ryanairzer

Didn't do any study and have a load of homework tomorrow which I probably won't do. Twas a good midterm though.

alan4cult

Can't disagree with that, been better than some years!

I've been sick since last Sunday, and due to various reasons (see "I don't need to sleep, don't be crazy!") I haven't shaken it off yet. Thankfully I managed to do a load of homework earlier on in the week and only left an essay (which I just did, coming in at a terrifying 8 pages.. and I was trying to be concise) and some art to be done today...
And chances are I'll be perfectly fine in school tomorrow. Stupid sickness. >.<

It's all realtive. 8 page is concise for a story about intergalatic warfare but not conise for a story about a picnic on Clare island.

Well it was a comparative essay on theme.. I didn't even talk about a lot of things. Not sure where all those pages came from.

Large Handwriting? Blank spaces to accommodate coffee stains?

In 6th year, it's not called a "holiday" or "week off", yes, you don't have to go to school, it's called a "reading week", you actually should be looking over what you did for the first half term and be doing a bit of revision from 5th year.


Yeah - I know it's tough, but it will be of great benefit to you when you sit the exams in June and even the mocks and if your school is giving you Christmas tests. I know it's over but realisticaly you should have done a bit.


I'm not saying rule your social life out altogether - just have a balance.
