Leaving Cert. '11/'12 Off-Topic

Coeurdepirate

So guys, since some of us are starting this week (I'm not starting until the 29th) I think it's time for this thread. Seriously, the depression is setting in so I think we need a thread to procrastinate in since the new 5th years (:() have stolen the 5th year thread! Let the spam commence!

ConTheCat

Yes, Very much so!!

EmptyWithMe

I don't mind going back to be honest, I'm a bit bored now. Nothing to do!
Like, the sooner it starts the sooner it's over I guess..

Chuchoter

I have lots of cool books to read and I effectively can't read them until next summer. FML

I suppose that's a good point. I still want 6th year to go and die in a hole though.

Ah you will need to have a break form all the studying next year........;)

Joey.

I'm back on Friday, can't believe there's only 3 days of summer left for me Ah well, here's to what will be my last first day of school

I'm bricking it though.

EmptyWithMe

I'm back on Monday, I think. Getting all the school stuff tomorrow. :rolleyes:
I'm bricking it too!

Please don't tell me I'm the only one who didn't open a book during 5th year. :pac:

Random_Person

I've thought about starting looking over notes and stuff this week to get ready but each time the thought goes into my head, it's right back out again..

Goodbye social life..

partyatmygaff

I remember starting this exact same thread last year... how time flies.


A word of advice... study from the start of the year. Get in to a routine. Study in a public library if you can to avoid distractions. I did two hours a day from the start of the year up until February or so in my local library. Excellent way to study. After February, you'll know well enough yourself how much you need to get done before June 2012.

That is probably the scariest thing I've heard so far. :pac: Like, June 2012 is the end of the world!

It's very exciting until about 11 a.m. on the first day, when it'll all aettle in and we realise what we have to do . . .

Just realised that I forgot about that and have random bits to make about half a uniform :pac:
I'm bored of 6th year already.

EmptyWithMe

Getting my uniform bits in town tomorrow. I've changed my mind. F this.

I'm back on Monday and I've bought nothing. Also just realised I was supposed to read a novel for the comparative >_>

Surely you can manage a novel in 6 days?!

I could if I had actually bought it yet

degausserxo

Dying to go back, not in til the 14th! Then again, haven't been in school since 2009 so the novelty will probably wear off after a week.

Balance is key to a good Leaving Cert, everything in moderation. Too much stress and you'll have a horrible year, you'll be freaking out before/during exams and too little stress and you'll...well, do nothing (although you probably need motivation then, not stress).

Jimmy Magee

Once you're in 6th year you will begin to realise how easy you had it in 5th.

Best days of your life though...

If I'm going to have the best days of my life in sixth year that's pretty depressing...

Figure of speech. They are quite enthralling though and most are sad when they leave. You may not miss the work but you'll probably miss the camaraderie of the classroom and the corridors.

Stop, I remember how depressed I was last October and I've a feeling that I'll be the same way this time next week! It'll be fine though, apparently it just flies by and of course we all have each other here to confide in!

EmptyWithMe

Sure it's got to be done, I suppose.
Sooner we get it over with the better. We'll be grand, I hope. :pac:

coffeelover

It's only 9 months of sheer hell :P then college

Early years care & education in CIT I think. Three years, and stay on a fourth for honours degree. Then I can open a play school. ^-^

I used to want to be a teacher though.. I'll probably change my mind again though.

Nicole.

Hey, my name's Nicole, I've been informed in 5th year that I've had "my sixth year freakout" after Christmas:pac:

I have bought 12 4 colour pens....at 0.64c for two. Sometimes I feel people spend more time on here than actually studying xD
