Then had to go buy new pens and haven't done anything since I got back.

Going to go and do propaganda in Nazi germany in a while.

turgon

Was wrecked today, got up at 8 o clock cae our teacher said he needed us down in the school. Turns out he didnt, and having gone to bed at 12 last night (stupid) I couldnt do much.

SO scrapped the idea of doing English all day (as I find it tedious) and just did maths and applied maths.

Made out a study plan for the next 3 weeks today, starting sunday I'm only going to study for the next 2 or 3 immediate exams, with the sole exeption of app maths cas Ive only been doing it a year.

Im very lucky with my timetable. So many days off, and a long stretch. I pity the people who are finished within a week and a day - no time to study.

BJC

You cant study after 8 hours sleep?? =P If I got any more Id be too lazy to do any study, sleepin in always hinders progress for me.

I'm quiet happy finishing that early, I really want my exams out of the way and I've already done most of the work. The only thing that worries me is if i'm too knackered to perform to my potential.

I honestly believe the best revision is done the night before, I usually go for 3 and a half hrs sleep a night for big exams.

Alan Smith

Very little done today because of the weather. Which made me very very very angry.

I did learn the biome completely. Although if that doesn't come up, I'll get a 0 in geoecology.

Tomorrow I plan on-

English- Revising Othello completely

Geogrpahy- look over Biome again to see if it actually stayed inside my head

Irish-Stair Na Gaeilge, I have tthe res of Irish covered except for this so pretty happy with Iirsh.

Business- Chapter 24, 25 and 26. Have studied 1-10 so that would leave 11 to 223 tostudy butr still plenty of time left.

Maths- need a bit of work on paper one, even though I don't need ti to do arts in UCC (I think?)

French- A lot of listening comprehension

Accounting- Nothing as I ahev a six day break and I'm only doing odinary level which is pisssssh


Think I'll get 340 points? Hope so

I agree that the best revision is done the day before. But i need at least 7 hours sleep!! How??? 3.5 hrs??? whats the secret? is it red bull, coffee or berocca??

orangetictac

haha, image not available!

fivetwenty

Tea. Lots.

I dunno some determination always comes over me and I'm immune to the ****ty feeling of getting up in the morning, I started back at the end of first year exams, and have done it at every year-end exams since (barring 2nd & TY).

My LC timetable is spaced out so it's perfectly suited to it, I had bloodshot eyes for the mocks, Physics caused a 2.5hr night!

You'd best have probably tried it before to see if it works, I mean to see if you're still capable of completely rational thinking. It works best for the theory subjects, I may force myself to sleep for the maths & physics one.

I feel your pain, the room I study in seems to get the sun 24 hours a day (yes, during the night too.). It's like a bloody greenhouse in there.

Today I did.. hmm...
English: read an act of The Crucible
Irish: read An Bhean Óg and Lig Sinn i gCathú... and I did both of them lying in a hammock in the sun, so it took me well over an hour.
Maths: wrote out all the proofs, after that other thread... there's not too many, and De Moivre's theorem is easy. Hurray.
Irish: wrote a summary of events for the first 20 chapters of A Thig ná Tit Orm
Maths: revised Transformational Geometry.. I barely even remember doing that chapter.

And now I should be reading some Art History notes, but I've gone mad from sun exposure and I'm going to play some video games in a dark room.

Peleus

ye tea and cigarettes are really good, i have like seven cups and 10 smoke breaks a day.

I stayed up till five last night for some stupid reason watching videos on youtube. got up at 15:00

since then i've done:
about two hours of applied maths. Did all the questions i'm bad at and didnt get one of them right. I've heard it's possible to get an A in Ap. Maths and not get the answer to one question, if the only mistakes you make are slips.

half an hour reading over Rich's poems and my notes on her poetry.
an hour writing notes on Boland's poems.

Later:
Finish writing personal response to Adrienne Rich
Finish writing personal response to Eavan Boland

Tomorow:
The Crucible (single text)
and Derek Mahon.

Mars Bar

Me? Well I stayed in bed 'til 11, went golfing and then came home and gave drum lessons, then had dinner and went in for a shower and now I am here.

Crap.

I was planning to do so much. I go to Saturday study in our school (9-1). Except I slept in and arrived in at 10pm. Then I find out at 10:30, our teacher is bringing us down for something to eat. We go down and find she's ordered a LOT of food for us. By the time we're finished it's 12pm and it's boiling hot so a few friends and I go for some Calippos and Twisters (yuck). We come back and it's 12:30pm. Half an hour of study done!

When I come home I'm tired for some reason, I fell asleep and woke up a few minutes ago. Now I'm online on my PS2 playing a Japanese game on the japanese servers.

I'll study when the sun goes down, when I find it easier.

I have compromised my study. This is what I'm doing
