First Week off...... what are your plans

zoom! · 23-10-2009 11:15pm #1

In terms of revision and study what are guys going to aim for? I have tests the week we come back so I'll be hoping to do get everything that I have to know for the covered pretty well. Anything after that will be pure geography and chemistry, they are the two subjects I'm finding most difficult.

What about you guys?

Lie ins. Lots of them.

Oh wait, study?

History, French. Maybe some HPAT prep.

unknown13 · 23-10-2009 11:36pm

Lie ins, relaxing and studying

laura93 · 23-10-2009 11:37pm

This week off equals lots of sleepy time for me

I have 4 essays to do and about 10 pieces of Stair na Gaeilge to learn, 3 units to learn in business and I have to start my history project

partyatmygaff · 23-10-2009 11:38pm

No study for me, 5th year......

Won't be saying the same next year though

Besides that I'm going to London to see the premiere of the Michael Jackson concert rehearsal movie so something to look forward to.

A fair bit of homework.
Some reading.
Hopefully,a good chunk of study,but I know myself that the chances of this happening are...slim

Lots of sleep.
Lots of Internet.
That's about it.

Kersmash · 24-10-2009 4:04pm

This year really is flying, I'm glad it is though!

I know I should be doing a good bit of study this week, but despite my best intentions I doubt I'll get much done. Lie-ins and partys aplenty!

TheCandystripes · 24-10-2009 4:32pm

9 hours is way too much unless you are a weak student who wants 600 points

BDR · 24-10-2009 4:35pm

Doing at least 3 hours a day..Made a list of all the things I want to revise over the week and I'm actually planning on getting through it.

Other than study I'll be sleeping, shopping and I'm doing a ballet class next week. SO happy it's the midterm.

Anyone else wrecked after the last 8 weeks?6th year is draining me

Or a strong student who wants to make sure of 600 points, and is doing 8 subjects in a year, two of which are new:P

Evan93 · 24-10-2009 7:35pm

There is no strong or weak in a system where you learn off information and regurgitate it, make no mistake

Yes there is. A weak student will "learn off information" slower than a strong student.

Being a good student != learning off stuff to rewrite when the exam comes around is what I'm saying.

It depends on the subject really. It certainly doesn't make you intelligent but you could argue that in the context, it makes you a better student.

Johnny Giles · 25-10-2009 2:26am

Football.

TheCandystripes · 25-10-2009 2:33am

Where is the honest of effort Johnny?

Johnny Giles · 25-10-2009 1:33pm

You see that's the problem these days. Kids are spending to much time studying. They should be out on the streets playing football, kicking a ball around. Nowadays kids are too busy playing computer games or some other nonsense like studying. That is why this country does not have top-class footballers like we did back when Eamon and myself used to play.

But educating teenagers and children helps to produce doctors,nurses,dietitians ,engineers,journalists,producers,economists etc,these jobs are needed in the economy for different reasons like we need doctors and nurses in hospital for the injured or surgery's and dietitians for telling us abt our diet and how we can improve it.This all applies to the jobs mentioned.
Also there is lots of students that take sports,for example hockey,badminton,basketball and football. Education or studying is not NONSENSE,Education is the best thing for a person to learn knowledge,actors and famous footballers are there for entertainment.

i don't understand anything of what ur saying

Johnny Giles · 25-10-2009 4:39pm

What I'm saying is we don't produce the footballer like we used to. Back when I was young in Dublin you would see young fellas out kicking a ball around. Nowadays they spend their time on computer games playing football instead of getting out doing the real thing. Some of the best footballers in the world have learned their skills off the streets.

I really, really hope you were joking, or else that was just the biggest FAIL I've ever seen on boards.ie!

the post I posted isn't THE BIGGEST FAIL,you can go and say that but IM PROUD OF WHAT I WROTE AS I KNOW ITS RIGHT and its my opinion,maybe I have misunderstood the person.YOU COULD of explained it in a much better way

thanx for explaining as I said on my previous post,I might of misunderstood wot the person wrote

randylonghorn · 25-10-2009 5:41pm

All right, all right, untwist the knickers, everyone, please!

Ayumi, the original Johnny Giles was an Irish soccer player and manager, and is now a commentator with RTE for soccer. Hence a certain tongue in cheek element to the "In my day ..." posts.

Lads, I may be mistaken, but I have the idea in the back of my head that ayumi isn't originally from Ireland, so s/he may not necessarily "get" all Irish humour. That doesn't make a fail, any more than I don't necessarily get all Mayo humour ... too much of it seems to revolve around sheep for some reason!! :P

He just meant that you had missed the joke, ayumi.

Don't mind him, Mayo people are odd at the best of times!!

It's what my school said MUST be done, if you want 600 points. It's not that much really, considering you'd spend a minimum of 6 hours in school on a normal day and 3 hours in after school study:rolleyes:

First Week off...... what are your plans
