Kinda sad now, dunno why but it feels like Christmas has gone by way too quickly, all of a sudden that festive feeling is gone ah well, time to get cracking with the study I suppose :pac:

Just realised today we are half way through the holidays still haven't opened a book

Dunno bout ye but actually getting down to study feels physically impossible!

All I've done so far is play some piano, and read a bit of a Spanish book. I can't see myself doing much more any time soon

decisions

Also have not done a tap since the start of the holidays, tonight is very much a last hurrah between now and Easter. Lot of work that needs to be done between now and then.

But you know what, we'll all be grand. All on the way to 625 I tells ya!

Y'know those people that go on about how they study all day everyday? Like the ones that casually say 'Oh I did about eight hours there yesterday, I usually do nine though, ten on a good day'(may be a slight exaggeration). I've come to the conclusion that they're lying or else are doing maybe a third of that time studying efficiently...or else are just superhuman. I spent Wednesday-Friday having my days pretty much revolve around study, obviously I took breaks and stuff, like I'm no good at getting up early so I was studying on/off from 12-8 each day. And like...I'm done. No more of that. Like looking back I can clearly see what a waste of time a lot of that, like there were some things, generally at the start of the day, that I got done right and others that I rushed just to cross something off on my ridiculous plan.

Three days of this and I'm close to burned out, dunno how people doing this from September and earlier are managing, eek. It'll be fine, had an epiphany today, I'll be far better off in the future doing three/four hours efficient study and actually having some sort of a holiday. Sanity's important too.

People lie all the time when it comes to study. I for example have done a billion hours of study today. The only person you should care about us yourself, you know if you are working well and if you are studying efficiently, and not the definition of study I posted a while ago.

Yeah I get it, different strokes for different folks, just fed up and needed to vent my frustration somewhere.

8 hours study? that is bloody insane! 2-3 hours is fine and it won't kill you.

HugsiePie

Ugh being on this thread making me feel so guilty. Ah well, there's always tomorrow

HugsiePie

Finally got round to doing some (home)work. YAY Reading everyones posts urged me in to being somewhat proactive Thanks for the guilt trip guys (Seriously I'm being genuine, thanks!)

Gonna do a bit of study today..
I dont know what "a bit" is exactly, but by telling myself Im doing the indefinite quantity, I shold just be satisfied afterwards..

The purchase of Football Manager has had a detrimental affect on my Leaving Cert already. Stayed up until about 6am playing it last night. Getting really into it now.

I have no homework due for next week, can't bring myself to open a book and I don't plan to for the rest of the xmas holidays, studying that much for the xmas tests burnt me out, so no more for me for a while :P

So I see I'm not the only one in the Instiute tomorrow. I'm doing Physics A and French.

Colm!

If any of ye will be at the Bruce course tomorrow and see someone who you think might be me, stop them up and say hi. See if it works.

I've been playing it a lot as well. Just tidying up my first season. Had some blunders early in the season, so I ended up finishing 4th in the premiership. Have an FA Cup Final and Champions League Final to play yet though.

Started playing in 07 as well, but this is the first year I've paid for it.
