Lost the fear?

Saul-Good

As I think is the story for most people the bulk of the exams are over now and the day gaps are starting between the exams. Has anyone else just really stopped careing? For example, I have History and French tomorow and I'm actually not really bothered to do any work where as this time last week I was absolutly bricking it before English Paper 1, it just feels like it's been so long since then.
Is it just me or is the Leaving Cert's bark FAR more worse than it's bite?

I know exactly what you mean! I was freakin out for ages before the exams and now that I'm actually doing them I really don't care!

Yeh, i think i had so much done for the first few i found them handy enough but now i dont have as much done and im not as tempted to work the night before, awfully tired aswell, even with going to bed early and the likes!!

Yep, it still usually hits me around 8 o'clock though. Then I start sh*tting myself and start cramming like hell, but then when it comes to the end of the exam I think to myself.... that was it?

I thought it would have left by now, but I'm still afraid of the dark. Wait, what's this thread about?

Ya most ppl just aren't too bothered anymore. 2 years ago everybody i know was going on about how they would work so hard in 6th year - then before you know it may has arrived and your still there telling yourself "ah sure it'l be grand!"

At this stage we're nearly all 18 and have actual lives so chasing points is really just for wannabe dentists, doctors, pharmacists etc. (For whom I have massive respect btw because i'm sure it isn't easy staying that dedicated to anything!) so fair play to 'em!:rolleyes:

I feel ya brother. After the 2 year course, its just the same old night-before study for me. cant say any of the exams have worried me either. French and History tomorrow have barely opened a book for History and haven't thought about French. Will be interesting anyway.

I feel this way too! I have art history and biology on thursday and spent all day today watching tv or sitting in my garden.. Still have that little voice in the back of my head reminding me anything but study is wrong I can just ignore it better this week!!
