Tús maith leath na hoibre (Ponguin)

So I'm 4 days in now but hoping to start 6th year off on the right foot. 5th year results were:
Gaeilge (HL): 89
Maths (HL): 90
English (HL): 62
French (HL): 88
Biology (HL): 93
Chemistry (HL): 86.5
Art (HL): 86
LCVP: N/A

I'm still unsure as to whether or not to quit LCVP but it's been reduced to one class a week now so I'll see how it goes.

Wrote up a study plan last night.
Today, after homework I did;
Biology: Revised Photosynthesis, Light and dark stages, 1 exam question and a few questions from our book.
Gaeilge: Revised notes and made new notes on Oisín i dTír na nÓg.
Art: Read Over all of Early Christian Ireland in ReviseWise.

Once I actually sat down it wasn't too bad at all. I did study first then homework so I wouldn't lose motivation 😜

Yesterday along with homework I did:
Maths: Revision on the line, looked over Xmas 2015 test
English: Made a few flashcards of Eavan Boland (War Horse)
French: Revised Aller, Devoir and Courir
Feeling bogged down atm due to the endless Biology notes being given to us to transfer into our notes copy.

Yesterday all I did was read over act 1 scenes 1&2 of hamlet and wrote out the key quotes on flashcards - really starting to feel drained after only a week back

So I reeaally neglected self study this weekend but not feeling to guilty as I had a poetry essay and an art history essay to do 😆 I'm thinking of changing my study plan to 1 long session of the same subject as opposed to 3 small blocks - hopefully it'll work out lol

Ponguin

Ahh again I failed to study or do anything basically this whole weekend. Today I did an Irish essay as homework but that's pretty much it - in all fairness I was sick the whole weekend and worked for 14.5 hours so hopefully I won't find it too hard to get back on track

Got maths test back today ~ 97% lol it was frustrating because I integrated everything correctly but I lost marks on forgetting a minus sign and accidentally dividing 24 by 3 and getting 6 :P
Had a biology test on respiration and it did not go well whatsoever- really need to revise the testing for ethanol.
Revising Structure of Flowering plants now, going to read some hamlet later and hopefully get a start on my Hopkins essay 🙄

Ponguin

So last night after homework I did;
Maths: Read over notes on the circle, I'll do an exam q tonight
English: Read over T.S Eliot's poems and an essay from last year
Art History: Did an essay on the Bronze Age from 2014

It seems I'm really starting to lose my grip on things. When ever I get English homework I just spend excessive amounts of time on it. I love English but exam wise it is my worst subject - I run out of time constantly - I'd love if someone could just honestly tell me what I need to do to improve exam wise as my class work is usually to a much higher standard
