Got my schoolbooks today. My nerves are a-tinglin' with nerdy excitement. I think I'm going to like Biology now.
Also, I'm back on the 26th, FML.
Got my schoolbooks back in June! The school sent our lists out early, although we won't know what maths or biology book we need until September. My mother was so eager to send me back, she bought the books that day!
Although, now that I've had a good chance to look through them, I think I'm going to start learning a bit from some of them. I suffer from "I used to know it, then I did TY" syndrome, so a recap of what I used to know might ease the pain of 5th Year.0 -

I'm doing Applied Maths as an extra...not sure completely of what book I will be using but almost certain it'll be Fundamental Applied Maths by Oliver Murphy. I hope it isn't though cause that book is not supposed to look very "friendly"
As for me, I'm back on the 29th. Kind of looking forward to it, kind of not. After TY I just want to get back into a normal routine, if you know what I mean? I need to start learning stuff again!0 -

Hey, I think I have seen you in the JC thread...if you don't mind me asking, did you skip TY and are you going straight in to 5th year? 0 -

I know how you feel. TY was great, but I prefer the normal school routine.0 -

TBH I don't like when maths books look friendly. I used that book in TY (rented to us) and it was quite good. There is a new edition Of it this year AFAIK.0 -

I saw that yesterday, I don't have to buy my Applied Maths book until a few weeks into the year though, we get a trial period. There's a new edition that looks more light-hearted but tbh I liked the look of the old one.

I guess it doesn't really make a difference but it's still kinda hard to think that I'll be in sixth year.. I mean just a while ago I was in first year and I actually used to be afraid of sixth years..they looked big and so serious lol:D And now I'll be one...:P
I guess I'm kinda scared
Don't be! Leaving Cert was the best year I ever experienced in school, purely from a social point of view. Yes it is tough going with study but disregarding that it is such a good year. This is coming from the person who absolutely adored TY, LC was a million times better.
Nothing at all to be scary about. Getting to tell first years off is great craic sure! :pac:0 -

Surprisingly, you just made me feel a whole lot better about going into 5th year! Thank you. 0 -
While I did enjoy TY, I did notice that I didn't like the lack of academic work. Also, quite a few people I know regretted doing TY. It's just a personal preference, but I doubt you will regret it.
Think of it this way, you get out of secondary school a year earlier!
I completely agree I really enjoyed TY but for me it was great up until about March and then I just wanted it to end and I know that a lot of people felt the same. There was nothing to do and I find that I need to be learning stuff to stop getting bored as nerdy as that makes me sound! I wouldn't say that I regret TY because it really showed me what I want to do in college and I learned a lot of new things but sometimes I do find myself thinking "what if I hadn't done TY? I'd only have one year left in school"Who skipped TY? I did and think Im going to regret:/
As MWick94 said, it is all on personal preference. I don't think you will regret it. To be honest, I think you will find it easier going straight into 5th year rather tha us going into 5th year after TY. You have 1 less year in school so keep thinking that!0 -
