My desperate attempt to motivate myself

    Occupational therapy is the goal! 530 points would be ideal but perhaps not so realistic. Didn't do a tap of long term study last year so I'm hoping a good solid year of work will make up for that. Somehow I managed to cram my way to 510 points in the summer exams. Just wish all that information commited itself to my memory :(

    Should probably mention that all above subjects above are higher except maths and the grades I'm hoping to achieve are as follows: English B2, Irish B1, Biology A1, Home Ec B1, Business A1, Spanish B2. Don't particularly care about maths but one of the other courses I'm considering requires a min. B3 I think but that shouldn't be difficult as I got a B at higher JC.

    Feel so disheartened right now. Feels like time is just slipping away and it's only the third week. So frustrating!!! How are you ment to study and revise on top of the copious amounts of homework which is being piled on???? Three weeks have past and I have nothing to show for them, despite spending all my free time in my study room attempting to keep up to date with h.w. Aaaaaahhhh. Rant over. I think!

    The way i see it homework is/is as good as study. I'm not gonna beat myself up if I can't do 3 hours of study because I got 2 hours of homework. So long as you're putting the work in somewhere

    In the middle of my 'Mocktobers' and I'm getting the wake up call I need. So far the exams aren't going terrible but they're not great either. It's gonna be a long year.
