Messed up my timings in business so badly, only half finished the last long question. Stupid ABQ, no fcuking way could I have done that in 25 minutes.

Irish paper 2 is tomorrow and even though I know what poem is coming up, I still studied all 5 as I felt guilty :')

Really dreading business, feeling very shaky on the knowledge front and even more so on the timing front. It's actually really difficult to answer all of the questions well in the time given!

Irish II wasn't great for me, hadn't looked at the text or poem in about a year, still managed some answers.

Oh, I just got your signature:o I'd seen the movie, forgot the quote though:)
Awesome sig;)

That's essentially what happens everytime I go to "study".
Clean my room, read a book...
and of course, the ever favourite, Organise my folder:D

I've just spent about 20 minutes organising pens, a stapler, pencils and paper for the mocks! 20 minutes well spent..

Mocks thread has surpassed 200'000 views.
Excuse me, but that is tragic.
Seriously what's the point of mocks then!

Edit: Took a peek in the thread, not looking at anything, the amount of newly reg'd accounts is hilarious:D

Had a peek myself at the spreadsheet, just looked at what was on the French paper and felt bad about even looking at it. Can only remember one thing from it and I definately won't be doing it. Be suspicious coz we've no vocab on it!

In other non LC related news, my dog ate my school training top. Big corner gone out of it. YAY. :mad:

That's what I don't want:eek: If I know what's on the exam I'd feel silly solely concentrating on that, silly if I avoided it, and silly when I got my distorted mark.


Even though I've begun with some of my more favourable exams [Maths, English, Gaeilge] I'm actually reasonably pleased with how they've gone so far. It's calming my nerves a bit now that I'm coping fine with the exams and we still have months left of school to improve before the LC. Anybody else on the same page?

As much as I'd like to say yes, no, not by any stretch of the imagination. That said, they're not going badly enough for it to be a kick in the arse either Ah sure, 2 more days is all

Didn't know we had to pay for the Leaving Cert, €116 I'm told :pac:

Bad feeling to see so many of ye practically finished. I'm only starting Thursday and dragging out 'til the week after the midterm.

Namlub

Five more exams then orals during midterm. Woo freaking hoo

The best thing to do just before your mocks is to go on a weekend away. Not at all dying today! :pac: well worth it though :P

Many a severed hand to be seen on the floor today in the aftermath of English II

they go really fast actually. Ten exams isn't too bad, the prospect seemed worse at the start. Only 3 left now

...pity those 3 have to include chemistry and physics

Off for midterm

ahh well what can ya do? I'm reasonably chilled, guess reality hasn't hit :pac:

Overall I found mocks to be a much less stressful experience than 5th year summer tests. Dunno whether that's good or bad!

I had similar plans for tonight, ended up coming home early and depressed as ****!

By the way, I feel that as horrifically as they have gone, the mocks were overall a good experience for me for timing etc. The only problem is, in (I think) every single exam, I set myself a 'treat'.

Let's say there's two sections in most exams, I'd say to myself "once I finish section 1 I'll treat myself to a fag", so once I'd finish a section I'd ask to go to the bathroom and then go around the side for a smoke. Don't think that'll be good if I wanna do it in June :rolleyes:

It's not only during study that I get bored though, I'll be in an exam and I'll look at everyone writing furiously and think "I'm soooooooooooooooooo bored. I wanna die." It's so awful, I actually think I need psychological help to come out of this year whole, haha!

EmptyWithMe

How're the lads? :P
Almost over the mocks so I should be less of a ghost!

..not that anyone missed me.
