I may be slightly early, but anyway. I need to keep track of my studying as I tend to procrastinate... a lot :P

My subjects: (from best to worst with the grades I hope to achieve)

Geography (H) B1
Biology (H) B1
Gaeilge (H) B2
English (H) B2
Economics (H) B2
German (H) B3
Math* (H) D2
*might drop down

That's a total of 485 points. :pac:
I'm interested in Commerce, Law, Geography, Nursing, Sociology, Midwifery and Biological and Chemical Sciences (all UCC). I've been doing little bits and pieces over summer because I missed a good bit of school. Also doing after school study.

Let the games begin.

Forgot to include this above ^ today is dedicated to biology; writing notes, drawing diagrams and learning some equations

is mise spartacus

So. Much. English.
Seriously though it took me an hour to organise all my notes. I have geography and economics notes to sort too. Plenty of time :P

is mise spartacus

This past week I have been extremely busy.
I have 7 large folders full of notes and I honestly have no idea how they will fit into my tiny locker.
After school study starts the first Tuesday of September so I'll try to get into a routine soon enough.
I went through my math notes. I finally understood where I was going wrong so I did paper 1 of 2013 and got 195/300!
Practise really does make perfect :pac:

Needed to edit this a tad, I'll aim for higher level maths sure.. Be grand :cool:

One week to school.
The kitchen table is half full with my books and folders all prepared for next week.
I attempted a few Maths questions, got half of them correct.
Quite pleased with that to be honest .
Staying at higher level.

Found out my friend got biomed in UCC! Hope I follow in their footsteps next year.
Anyway today I wrote out experiments for biology and drew some diagrams (the nephron is a pain)
Later this evening it's some sraith pictiúrs

English: question on Desdemona
Biology: viruses

School is just around the corner and of course I'm sick.

is mise spartacus

Nerves are kicking in now. Can't wait to get tomorrow over and done with so I can make my study timetable :pac:
If I get double Maths on Friday evenings... ugh the thought of it makes me shudder
I'm going to watch some movies in German now with German subtitles. I find it useful.

is mise spartacus

DOUBLE MATHS ON A MONDAY MORNING! :rolleyes:
Ah sure it could be worse (or could it? )
Got my timetable and now for the fun part of making a colourful study chart. :P
I'm aiming for 30 hours+ of study a week. (might vary closer to exams etc.)
Still can't believe I'm a 6th year. :eek:

Thank you. At least it's not Friday evening... that'd be much worse.

You started study and notes before even going back... You will get the points you need! That's dedication.

Much more productive day today
Did some more trig, English essay, key words and phrases for Irish oral, revised coastal processes in geography (starting project soon)

Extremely proud of the amount I've done
Some more Maths later on

I tried using that site, and completed a few lessons for Italian. But there are a lot of problems with it ... for Italian. :l A lot of the audio things don't work and some of the sentences don't make sense.

I have used it before for German and a good few of the articles *der, die, das* have been wrong
But other than that I really agree, and it gives some quite good phrases ��
