I haven't written an essay in English since Junior Cert..

My teacher only does Paper 2.

My first essay since primary school was in 5th year (apart from JC and mocks) :O she just gave us essays to learn and that was that!

Rochestown careers expo was fairly good but I think I might've went a bit overboard with the College prospectuses! That's only half of them, I couldn't bring the other half home today as I couldn't carry them along with my school books :L

Lads, what time do you feel is a good time to go to bed at? Even though I always plan to go to bed at around 12, I always manage to fall asleep at around 2 am and I feel the full effects of it at school!

I'm the same because I can only study when it's dark outside and quiet for some reason. Ideally you should aim to settle down at around 11.30 so that by midnight you're in bed either asleep or going to sleep.

Sleep is very important!

Jesus! I go to bed anywhere between 11 and half past, and I'm generally asleep by 10 to 12. However I know some people who go to bed at half 10 and earlier.

I am normally so tired I go to bed at around 10:30-11:00 :P Never been one of those "go to bed at like 3 people" :L

I wish I could be like that, the internet is just too distracting..

Sometimes I'm so tired, I go to bed at 9:30! Most nights I'm asleep by 10:30 but as 0mega said, the internet can be very distracting!

I never get much homework at all so I spend most of the time after school studying I normally finish at about 10 having started at about 4:30.

Anything to be said for getting up early in the morning for an hour or two's study?

Wow, I would love to be able to do that! Sometimes I don't finish my homework (no study) until after 10/10.30 having started at 5ish.. Wish I could study!!
I'd also love to get up early and study but I'm already exhausted and find it hard to get up so I don't think getting up at 6 would suit me. Although if I somehow am less tired as the year goes on I will.

I wouldn't dream of it.

I do up until about half ten at night, which is enough for me without costing me my lie-ins.

Mr. Rager

Where do ye all study? At home or supervised with the school? I'm finding it extremely difficult at home

Fair play so, I guess if I was repeating I'd be pretty determined aswell :L

Really struggling for motivation to study myself and its so frustrating! I know what I want to do in college, I just cannot push myself to work!

Each to their own though, is it a heavy workload?
