    My mocks are going to cost €110 and that's only for six subjects. :(

    So, that's €18.33 per subject. Rip-off or what?! :eek:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    We'd to pay for our business and english jc mocks - my business teacher sent them away but the other teacher is a cow and i'm pretty sure she pocketed the money :)

    i'm pretty sure our regular teachers will be correcting our lc mocks though.

    Really don't know what to do! I have top two choices sorted, but I really don't know what to put as 1st, and which to put as second, because I want to do them both equally.
    One is like 70 points more than the other, so should I put that 1st? Orrrr...?

    In other news, today I plan on studying the heart in Biology, 1 sraithpicture, Special diets in home ec, and writing out 2 geography essays. :D
    I feel like I'm finally becoming more motivated and focused than before, which is good. :)

    Your number one choice will be going up thanks to the extra points for honours maths!

    Don't let the points influence your choices I think is the best policy. I only have one particularly high points course in mind but it's probably not getting my no.1, the course that I want most is waaay below the points I'm going to get!

    English essay for the weekend done already, the pride I feel is immense :p

    Thanks for the advice, but I genuinely want them both equally, and I prob won't get the higher points one due to maths bonus points etc.

    So the way I was thinking is, if I put the higher one 1st, and get it, I'll be happy, but if I don't get it and get the 2nd choice, I'll still be happy, whereas I might regret it if I put the lower points one 1st. You know? :P

    But you wouldn't regret it if you liked them both equally, right? Just try your best to pick between the two. Say you got offered both of them (for arguments sake) which would you choose and why? Weigh up the pros and cons of each! Go through all the modules you'd be doing and you might prefer one over the other. Ask people who know you well (friends and family really) which they can see you doing.

    That should help you with your choice. :)

    Just had the pleasure of sitting through a minute long sex scene with intense moaning, screaming and orgasming with, no - not my parents - my grandmother. **** my life. How awkward.

    What's everyone hoping to do next year?

    No, thats not as bad as sitting through it with my gran... she's the type to go:
    "Well, finally- i was waiting for them to get at it."

    OR

    "Anna, who is he? why is she with him, i thought she was sleeping with the other guy? He isnt as good looking as the other guy, I wouldnt sleep with him anyway..."

    It could go on like that :( scarred for life :pac:


    Oh, and french and business, in case I havent told everyone :pac:
