AulBiddy's Study/Procrastination Log 2015

AulBiddy

Hello! Ive decided to start this log because I need somewhere to motivate myself throughout the year and to set goals and targets. I'm going into 6th year in a week and I'm expecting a stressful year and me and stress = disaster zone :pac: . Hopefully I'll cope!
The subjects I do are:
English (H)
Maths (H) (could possibly be heading to OL but I'm going to wait until mock results.)
Irish (H)
Biology (H)
Chemistry (H)
History (H)
French (H)

As for college, my number one choice is to do Biomedical Science in DIT! I have my heart set on biomedical science, I'm hoping that possibly after I have finished my degree to work in a hospital laboratory or for a pharma company. I wanted originally to be a nurse and I would honestly love to but I don't think I would have the patience that nurses have! Failing to get into DIT I'll be applying to UCC and NUIG.

I'm aiming for over 500 points. My course in DIT is 495 so my goal may change after tomorrow! (Unfortunately)

Anyways, I'll be posting here soon enough , just setting this up seeing as I have the time to write this big introduction haha

AulBiddy

My course has gone up by 5 points... Oh dear, definitely means I need to be in the 500 range and higher!!

AulBiddy

I should really finish rewiring my chemistry copy. Have lots of notes mixed up between questions and it's irking me how messy the copy is.

AulBiddy

Rewrote three pages. Rewarded myself with a Muller corner.... and fell asleep for three hours.

AulBiddy

Well this is going great (!) Should probably do my homework instead of lying around and being lazy.

AulBiddy

Actually got a fair bit done studied a sraithpictuir and rewrote it and did my other homework. Tomorrow I hope to get another few pages of my chemistry copy rewritten and move on to sraithpictiuir a do this year I'm actually going to do learning work when it's given to me, I've a bad habit of just skipping it! I'll be fairly proud if I'm able to keep that up. Slowly getting back into it. I should probably try to be more positive I'm very negative about this log :P absolutely wrecked today, had a quick nap earlier, I wouldn't be able to work properly otherwise. Don't know what way I'll be after a full day tomorrow! I'm going to have to work a nap time into my study timetable, I'm just not an afternoon person. I wish we had siesta like in Spain.

AulBiddy

Got my homework done, learned a sraithpictuir, rewrote an Irish essay and rewrote a few more pages of my chemistry copy . Tomorrow another sraithpictuir, some French vocab, finish rewriting essay and more chemistry.

AulBiddy

Did a sraithpictuir, I was so tired today so I didn't do much else... I've been so wrecked since going back to school, can't sleep at night and can't get out of bed in the morning... had an Irish oral thingy today and I had every thing prepared and basically my entire Irish vocabulary tried to come out of my mouth all at once . I hate looking like a stuttering idiot in front of a teacher, they must think I'm really stupid. On the upside this year I have the option of doing study instead of PE.

AulBiddy

Plans for tonight:
Finish history q
Do French q
Learn French vocab
Go over Irish briathar saor aimsir caite
Start biology hw
Sraithpictuir 4
Do maths q

Will update later just about to start.

AulBiddy

All finished didn't start the French q but I did some vocabulary about school for the Journal intime Friday tomorrow, hopefully I can catch up on some sleep

AulBiddy

AulBiddy

Irish - not touched
History - finished
Chem - finished

Bbiology - not started
Oh....

AulBiddy

Everything finished today thank god, studied for my sraithpictuir test tomorrow. Absolutely shxtting it I HATE oral work, it's like my brain goes on complete and utter overload and I sit there "eh..." while my brain tries to unscramble itself. I've tried a lot harder to get them well learned this year. Why brain, whyyyyyy?

AulBiddy

She gave me the sraithpictuir I didn't completely know, THE ONLY ONE. Also sounding like a twit because I've a blocked nose. and my phone won't charge. and so much other stuff that is just ANNOYING ME
/rant

I got nothing extra done today due to other trivial annoyances. GAHhhhHHHHHHHH!!!

AulBiddy

Feeling less Moody than yesterday! thank God haha got a lot done today so I'm a lot happier. double study tomorrow will be productive hopefully. can't wait to go asleep. I hate sixth year

AulBiddy

After a small hiatus I am back posting here! I have started a bullet journal which is essentially like a school journal but easier to use and you can write down other tasks that need doing. If you're wondering what it is head on over to YouTube and type in bullet journal.
I'm being productive today. I'm learning my Sraithpictuir for yet another oral on Monday and I'm doing some french vocabulary en ce moment I've been at this for about 6 hours now. Saturdays are study days and Friday is my day off. I don't want to burn out too soon.

AulBiddy

Studied a lot for my oral tomorrow. If I get better than last time (50/80 marks) I'll be so happy. I've learned all my prepositions and all so hopefully it will come to me tomorrow!

After all this sraith craic I'll be able to start writing out notes in my spare time. Yay!

Also, I find getting handouts in school and organizing them into a folder is almost therapeutic, being organized feels so nice... Considering I've been really disorganized for 4 out of the 6 years I was in school :P

Haha I know the feeling!

AulBiddy

My fingers are in bits from biting them, I have them in bandages atm and its a bxstard to write with.

Damn you English essays.

AulBiddy

I need to start studying during the week. I know the LC isn't for ages but the mocks is only around the corner. I'm considering getting some of my work done on Fridays now (no more days off for Yvonne) so I can study more at the weekends .

AulBiddy

ffffffffffssssssssssssssssssssssssss MOTIVATION PLS

AulBiddy

Jesus, long time no see lads. I decided to completely leave studying until after the mid-term - i missed a good few days of school and I had a lot of catching up to do over mid term (ecen worse I was sick for mid term after a night out!) But I've nearly caught up on everything and now its time to take things seriously
Ive written out goals for the next 7 weeks until Christmas . of course, all in pink and purple pen in hope of motivating me. :P

AulBiddy

Got lots done today! All my work for monday done, and I wrote out 18 chapters worth of biology definitions. Handy for revision and exam papers so I don't have to go rooting through the book. More will be done tomorrow.

AulBiddy

Got 2 things back today, 88% on a history question and 84% on a maths question... things are starting to look up...

AulBiddy

I'm putting this video here for when i'm down. Makes me laugh so much :pac:

AulBiddy

Writing out my Christmas revision plan, it physically hurts.

AulBiddy

Work I did today:
French Oral work written out
All q to do with the circle in project maths
French listening 2011
3/4 History essay done

AulBiddy

Chem definitions wrote
Chem q done
Maths q done
Might do a listening French
English work

AulBiddy

I bought a little diary for myself in Dealz so I've been tracking my progress in that. Its really handy and satisfying to see the work being done every day. Ive been organising my notes and going over lots... I've started a studyblr too so I'm trying to motivate myself to the max... 😎

AulBiddy

I need a good kick up the arse with my maths and irish, i keep shying away from the subjects that i'm not good at when they're the main ones i need to focus on! Esp maths It's not worth dropping down to OL when the mark for a D3 in HL is 75 points and an A1 in OL is 60 and it's not guaranteed that you will even get an A1.
But Irish seriously needs a bit of cop on. Why was I so unorganized last year? I did all my notes higgeldy piggeldy and never wrote them out again. :mad::mad:
Safe to say that I will be looking at the mock spoilers for Irish and Maths. After the Mocks it will be all systems go with organization with maths and irish and actually teaching myself to do things. Also I should really look for help from my maths teacher more often because every time she asks I go all red and say I'm fine because I'm embarrassed that I don't understand what is going on. I got some help yesterday but only because she could see I was struggling and not because i asked for it.

Ugggh cop on me *slaps self* :P
