Get used to napping in class

(I typically napped in Maths, religion a bit to, explaining my very good grade in Maths and woeful religion grade........obviously)

Post-Leaving Cert summer was the biggest let down ever......dont get your hopes up!

The people who were the most adamant about not letting the Leaving getting to them tended to be the ones who freaked out a bit at some stage. Try not to think about it.

Just keep organised. Easier said than done. I went back to do the Leaving and found it far easier the second time cos I really wanted and needed it. Not advocating doing that might I add but just felt I was more organised. If you want it badly enough and work hard enough you'll get there. Regular treats help too. Chin up.

irish-anabel · 11-11-2009 11:15pm

Wow I'm exactly the same as EVERYONE who as replied! Sometimes I think it would be easier to drop out...

I'm trying to balance social life and study but that went out the window, more in favour of social life

I do this too

I still haven't done a tap. I really need to get studying.

I'm fairly lid back so I'm too easily stressed out so no it's not really to getting to me.

and that hopefully:D its a once off

Keep motivated.

Youre not doing this just for a number on a page, it goes beyond that.

Have your eyes on a goal for your future (course, job etc.) and think about it at least once a day.

That what helps me get up in the morning, anyways.:pac:

irish-anabel · 13-11-2009 6:15pm

What gets me up in the morning is breakfast.

If I thought about dream career (and how unreachable it is) I'd hide under the covers again.

Daragh101 · 13-11-2009 6:22pm

yeah!!...on a saturday night when that first pint touches my lips, its heaven!

aoifeX · 13-11-2009 7:25pm

zoom! · 14-11-2009 11:06pm

Ye I'm too tired to do study a lot of the time. But I do my best to get it done (sometimes

). It'll all be over soon

smurk · 15-11-2009 12:32am

uck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so uck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amy.can.live · 15-11-2009 11:11pm

Yes, yes and yes. Friday night I was supposed to go out with my boyfriend to a our friend's gig...guess who fell asleep and when I woke up, I just felt like rubbish so I cancelled lol. and then last night I was up with friends watching a film in my house and I fell asleep on my boyfriend's shoulder, I must be so attractive right now! lol.

I'm finding it so hard to study as well...especially irish and spanish...I just can't. Maths is easy enough to study for, just do the questions over and over again and the other things are just learning off information but with irish and spanish there's the verbs and the tenses and then don't get me started on my spanish and irish orals. I've an irish oral book that I can't even look at without feeling sick haha.

I'd love to just be allowed sleep for a month straight and then start working again, like a hibernation thing xD
