Matthew's very late study log

matTNT

So with less than 5 days to the Leaving Cert I've decided I'm going to start one of these threads.
I'm very late but I think this is a great way of tracking my actual study and forcing me to do it! So I'll post morning and evening, see what I've done and what I need to do.
I'm hoping to end up doing something like Writing and Farming maybe directing as well. We'll see. I am considering English with Film (UCD), English (UCC) or Ag (UCD)

Here are my subjects + aims:

Maths (H) - C2 (I'll struggle for this one, living off attempt marks)
English (H) - A1 (My favourite subject)
Irish (O) - Pass
History(H) - A2
Geography - B1 (Great teacher in this subject, so I always am lax on study with it)
Biology - B1
Ag Science - A1 (I'm a farm and love farming, but I'm leaving Ag Science study until after all of my other subjects as I'll have 6 days to study for it)
French(O) - Pass (I took this subject up about 8 weeks ago)

So after the first three days of exams things are not bad...not good but no disasters...yet.

English Paper 1 was Ok, everything went well up until my composing, I did a describtive essay but I have never done one before, I do have a pretty good vocab and some of the lines sounded pretty poetic without being cheesy but then I'm not sure if I overdid it.
I managed to pick myself up from Paper 1 and I was happy with Paper 2. Plath turned up, that was grand, I really wanted Shakespeare but oh well. English overall I think an A2 and I would be delighted. A B would be devastating.
Maths Paper 1 went really well today, I was able to complete a few of the questions and I think I passed...maybe a C.
Geography was also today, that went alright some of the question combinations didn't suit me but I struggled through. I might scrape an A2 but I reckon it's a B1.

So this weekend I need to stay away from the great outdoors, lock myself in my room and do the following:

Maths Paper 2
Biology
History

And a bit of Irish and French, both at ordinary level so I should be able to manage alright.

All over bar Ag Science.

I'll hope to hit 500 but this did not go as well as I had hoped

Maths went well
English went very well
History was average
Biology was disappointing
Geography went well.
French/Irish were passed.
