  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    I've been logging pretty much everything I've done since November in a massive notebook file. I do find it helps, it makes it easier to track your progress. And a to do list is a good way to get focused.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 CiaraFolens

    Seeing you study and stuff is so depressing,fair play to you though.
    If only i could do some work,I can only study in the library,never can get anything done at home and library is closed today.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    So I've managed to waste 2 hours. Still going to get everything I said I would.

    Posting stuff online makes you feel like you have to do it.

    i find it better to just have the pictures in your hand as you're eating dinner, making tea, whichever. if you fly through one in 10 minutes and just keep reading over and over it ends up working. if i tried to sit down and actually learn a full one off properly id have no chance. Plus be careful you arent learning something off word by word, if you forget one sentence on the day it might panic you and then lead to you forgetting the rest of the picture


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    I'm sick, a fact I have been refusing to accept all day. Going to rest up and hope I feel better tomorrow.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions

    Today is Applied Maths and there isn't really much of a plan other than do as many difficult questions as I can find.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    Did the 02 and 03 papers. Now I'm going to do a few oblique colisions and a few SHM questions because I keep making the same stupid mistakes on them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    I got loads done today :D

    Tomorrow, French oral :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    Anyway, Charlie Brooker time. One of the few comedians on tv that I actually find funny.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    Sitting down to work after I finish my tea.
    The general plan is to have:
    - faimly perfect by 12
    - house & area by 1
    - average day by 3ish


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    What I have learned toady is I would rather do ANYTHING AT ALL, then learn French.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    This morning Sraith Pics. Left most of them to the day before the mock oral. Very clever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    This morning I'm just running through some oral stuff. Plan for later is a few applied maths questions and some Irish.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭decisions


    With the mocks done and results filtering in I figure no better time to get this going again.
