Tay's Study Log - 2014

A7XGirl

Work completed this morning:
Maths - I done at least 6 random questions in Paper 1 of the 2014-2011 papers.
Irish - Sraith pictiur 17. Listened to a sample oral.

That's about it. I'm going to do more work between 12.30 - 5.00pm.
I've finally finalised what I'm aiming for, I'll post that later on.

A7XGirl

Back from my endless amount of procrastination. During my time, I got so little done.
Home Ec - Everything and I mean EVERYTHING, related to Calcium.
French - Practiced my oral on family (God that sounds wrong.) and school.
Also did 2001 - Q1 reading comprehension and the Q.1 opinion piece (Family one).
I then attempted to do some listening, which I failed, terribly.
2006 -Section one, then I cried over not getting any answers for section 2 and 3. Then I gave up and I'm here now.

Final things to do: Some Biology and Chemistry. Also I have to post up my finalised predictions and the course I'm aiming for.

A7XGirl

No Biology or Chemistry today. I'm exhausted and can't be bothered.
I'll try and get all the subjects that I missed done tomorrow.

Sorry for disturbing the log but you're probably the most dedicated student I've ever seen!! Really hope you do well, you deserve it!

I did some work yesterday, not too much as my back is continuously aching and not to mention my iPod just broke so there goes all my quick handy notes. I'll be getting it fixed soon, so until then, I'll have to roll with the punches.

Mocks start in 3 days and I've never felt so unprepared in my life. I might as well suck it up and continue to try my best. It will all be worth it in a few months.
I'm too tired to list what I done, since I done barely anything. But oh well, there's always tomorrow.

A7XGirl

Barely anything done today, why is Sims 3 so amusing?
So I basically have 2 days to revise the Home Ec course for Monday.
I'm not going to start stressing over the exams at this point, I just have to remember, 'Life goes on after the exams'.

A7XGirl

Mocks tomorrow and I have suddenly adapted this 'Meh' attitude. Ironically, I still revised Home Ec today.
So English P1 and Home Ec tomorrow. I'm not worried that much for English, but we'll see how it goes. 100 days left, 'LET THE GAMES, COMMENCE.'

A7XGirl

English P1 and Home Ec completed.
English, not too bad, I managed to write some random story of some guy who bursts into flames when near a lighter, but in his past: He used to a pyromaniac and got into lots of trouble and was sent to this institute for pyromaniacs. Then his old best friend shows up, tells him theres a bomb in his house, he runs to save his brother only to remember that he has jury duty and he dies. I wonder if that count as a courageous act? I'm honestly laughing just thinking about my rubbish story. I never even got a chance to label it, lets see if she'll figure it out. :P
Home Ec- Started off panicking as I knew f-all, but then I calmed down and got quite a lot done. I didn't know 1/3 of the short questions, but I guessed as hard as I could hahaha. Long questions, there were a few odd bits but I still attempted it. I had an hour left and done 2 extra questions, just in case. Elective 3 section was just a bluff parade. Now thinking about it, my exams were pretty hilarious today. But it's over with, time to forget and move on.

Irish P1 tomorrow, I'm terrible at Irish so we'll see how this goes.

A7XGirl

Irish essay and listening done!
I was surprised that I got 3 and a half pages written. But one thing I'm certain is that I made plenty of mistakes. That's what I have to work on. Now listening, wow. This is the first time in 4 years that I've attempted all questions. I can really see that I'm improving and that's what this is all about to me. As long as I leave secondary school knowing that I'm capable of working hard and improving, I'll be pleased.
Tomorrow is French, I'm not dreading it, but I'm not looking forward to it either.
I've been playing computer games since 12pm, so it's nobody's fault but mine.
