Tomorrow I'll begin with Chemistry, there's a chapter I keep avoiding and I want to nail it down now.

A7XGirl

I've been sick for the past 2 days and I have no energy to do anything. I'll update when I'm better.

A7XGirl

I am well again!! After endless cups of tea and soothers, I have enough energy to leave my comfy bed and Netflix to resume studying.
I need to bring my 420 in the mocks right up to at least 440. I have two weeks to get a lot done and I hope I won't waste anytime.
My plan for the 2 weeks is to try and start studying at 9am each day and do at least 6 subjects in each day. There might be a day or two or three where I cannot follow my plan, but I'll still attempt. I'll also only do one language per day.
Tomorrow: I get serious.
But right now, I have a load of movies to watch before tomorrow.

A7XGirl

Today I started working at 9.30am and finished up at about 5.50pm. This time was made up of studying, procrastinating and eating.
English - 2008 P1 full paper
Maths - Area and Volume, I did about 4/5 questions in my exam papers.
French - Learnt a paragraph on volunteering, vocab for happy diary entry and I did a written piece on 'Vivre san internet'.
Irish - 2008 listening, can't believe I done better than I expected. Although I had major spelling issues, I attempted the majority.
Biology - Ecology and three exam questions.
Chemistry - Bohr, Electronegativity, Ionisation energy, energy level etc.
Home Ec - Food Spoilage.

I got pretty tired towards the end, mid -way through chemistry but I continued until I got some Home Ec done.
I think I done pretty well today, thanks to the Vanilla Sky soundtrack I had on replay. Great songs to aid studying.
So I hope tomorrow is as successful as today, I'll try and start at 9.30am again so I can finish by 6pm and enjoy my evening.
Right, I'm gonna go eat noodles and play Sims 3!

A7XGirl

Oh and the Chemistry chapter I did today was the one I've been avoiding for a long time. Simply because it's boring, but I defeated it at last! :P

EDIT; I know I said I wouldn't do two language subjects in a day, but some how I had time. I'll try and do at least one subject per day, but if I get two done..woohoo.
French listening to do tomorrow.

No maths today. I began an attempt on a question, only to end up crying 2 minutes later. All I want is a C3 in OL and still it's a challenge :P Stay optimistic and work harder I guess. Hopefully the two day free maths session in Griffth next week will help me.

Tomorrow, I will be extremely occupied from 9am to possibly 4pm and afterwards I'll be too sore to study....I'll attempt to get some Biology, Chemistry and English done at 'the place' I'm going, but if I can't, I'll cry. Thursday, I'll still be sore, so I'll possibly have to study on my iPod. If I don't get much done in the week, I'm taking it out on my weekend.

Hello! I'm pretty much in the same boat as you are. I can't learn an Irish essay as much as I tried. My plan is to learn a paragraph for the following topics; Drugs, alcohol, immigration, stress of school, bullying on the internet and bits on the influence of the media. This way I can try and adapt my paragraphs to suit whichever essay that will accept them.
I'm also going to learn the intro for the debate as the debate question could suit what you learned better instead of the essays.
If an essay about things that anger me come up, I could suit all this to fit.
If an essay about education, I could easily adapt this method.
Essay about the media, again I could use my paragraphs.
Essay about the celtic tiger, yup.
You probably get it by now :P
Anyways, make sure you learn filler sentences and at least 6 seanfhocal.
Good luck!
Also, use your oral work. You probably have things on drugs, alcohol etc prepared so that lessens the workload

No English today as you can see. I'm going to listen to some W.B Yeats poems on YouTube before I go to bed. But I finally figured out what I want to have done for English.
Paper 1 - I'm okay with this. I might do 1 or 2 reading comprehensions before the exam. I'll also look over writing news articles and whatnot.

Paper 2 - The public enemy no 1.
Macbeth - All the characters (Major ones at least) and also a few themes.

Poetry - My favourite are W.B Yeats, Emily Dickinson and Slyvia Plath. If one of them comes up....oh lord, I can't even describe how I would feel if it happened.
I'll also revise Derek Mahon and Elizabeth Bishop properly.
I would do Seamus Heaney, but to be honest, I like Derek Mahon better.
