Study over Christmas?

Aisling(",)

5 hours of fecking biology done today and still a question and a half left to do on a paper.
hand cramps ouch!

Davidius

Oh yeah, study.

I knew I forgot something.

Aisling(",)

i only really started today...got so bored ended up having day dreams about nephrons

rhapsody!

Can't say I've done a thing since the start of the hols but I think I needed a break cos I worked my ass off before the break. As soon as the holidays are over back into the books again

Started today, did German and Geography. In all honesty id prefer to be in school so id actually studying which i wouldnt mind because there wouldnt be anything else to do but at home its like distractions galore. I tend to end up on my guitar or end up reading some book that isnt even mine etc...

But i guess its a start and i am determined to do something its just sooo god damn boring.

LivingDeadGirl

Did all of Algebra tonight and last night, 20% of maths done. Pity I haven't started anything else

This gave me such very strange images.

Think LSD trip* with Bowman's Capsules.

Anyway, I got a few more hours Maths done today, applications of Differentiation and started on Permutations/Combinations. When I'm into it I can fly through them but the trickier ones tend to make my brain melt. I'll finish Combinations and start Probability tomorrow.

*I have never done LSD but I think we've all seen cartoon representations... Simpsons?

I done my LC in 2007, and didn't bring a document into the French Oral. Our teacher didn't really stress it to be honest, my French was weak enough without having to prepare answers for something like that. When I was told they may not even ask about it, I was put right off. I just crammed my head full of common French sentences and went over a few possible conversations. I was lucky though, I only learned really basic stuff and 1 more difficult topic about the enviornment...and he asked me all about the enviornment:pac:

Got a C3 in honors and I was ecstatic, I had gotten a D3 in the mocks and had contemplated going back to pass, my teacher practically begged me to but I wouldn't. Hahah!

I haven't done anything.
Nothing.
I reorganised my geography folder (as I'm obsessed with organisation) but that's it. And that really doesn't count!

I don't even care, I'll do something after New Years. I need the break, dammit!

WHY DIDN'T I DO SPANISH?

The whole sexy thing's definitely related to this:

Ah, Scrubs.

And also, the Anchorman sex scene, which sadly is absent for the 'toob.

That's too funny.:D

On the study front... I did about 2 hours of Geo writing and 2 hours of Irish writing today.. That count? Nothing else so far! I want to do LOADS but there's so many temptations pulling me away:P I'd love to:

-Make out decent notes on ALL of Walcott
-Study 2-3 chapters for the French Oral
-Learn off 4-5 Geo q's
-4 hard Biology chapters
-2 Irish poems/ stories
-Read over some Business
-Practise Maths 9BADLY NEEDED)

BUT... Can it be done? Please God, motivate me:)

I'm 6th form in the institute full time,
and i'm on holidays in Cork since the 23rd till new years day,

so far i've studied market structures pretty intensely for an economics test immediately when we get back, i've completed a biology revision sheet of the whole course so far, and i've written out an essay on Anti-Semitisim in Nazi Germany.

But i plan to do more biology 2mo and learn the imperfect french tense. So from xmas to the new year i have about 7-8 hours study done?, without any stress, still had a great holiday, im happy:D

doing much more and you're most likely an over-worrier, which can be just a detrimental to your L.C result as apathy, as you dont learn well when your panicking

will hav to go harder from new year on though:cool:

Piste

Gah. Have done nothing! I can't study in a messy room and my room's a tip, but I'm too lazy to tidy it At least I've finished my desperate Housewives boxset so I've no excuse really.

cautioner

I got up extra-specially early today (like, 12) to get **** done but here I am, argh.

Piste

I got up at half 11 to get stuff done, came online to look for a hairdressers that would take me on New Year's Eve and BAM, here I am.

cautioner

Piste, go study; I command you by the Beard of Zeus.

SarcasticFairy

I had great plans for study today... I had a timetable and all - I NEVER make study timetables.

Now I'm online, looking up times for ice-skating and trains, while minding my two year old cousin... Bye bye study....

Anybody done anything with their french document?

Stev_o

Got all my timetable stuff for 09. Bloody hell mocks start 16th of Feb >_< No midterm for me *sigh* On the plus side the time table for June looks handy enough (no pun intended) considering English is done over two days huzzah!

I finished my Grey's Anatomy boxset the other day and have since been given a Desperate Housewives boxset.... I'm pretty sure that friend wants me to fail! I'm never going to get around to this study malarky :rolleyes:

Haven't opened a school book yet this Christmas. Do I feel guilty? Yes. But do I care about guilt? No.

I'll start today though, I suppose.

bythewoods

I've still done nothing. W/E, it's alright... I need a break. I never get to see all my friends, they rarely even come home from wherever they're in college.
I might do a bit tomorrow. Although this is doubtful.

K4t

I do nothing all day and then late at night I starrt feeling guilty and ****e.

The result being me sitting up in bed with my business book and highlighter in the early hours of the morning! I kid you not :eek:

I'm going to do loads today though :pac:

Niamh-17

Had great intentions of revising loads over xmas....hasnt happened....yet! i really only started today! Made up a "check list" the day we got hols, only 2 items checked off out of many.....the next 3 days look like they are going to be fun!

Having said that though, we had to write up our Geography field study project into the real books, so i have that done (almost!) so am not feeling as guilty!

p1akuw47h5r3it

Done a chapter of maths and bio and nothing else... but still 5 days left so...

Pigwidgeon

I've done nothing but maths since Christmas and have just found the lovely Irish revision sheet my teacher gave me :eek:

Beidh mé gnóthach... Stair, 6 dáin, An Bhean Óg, Fiche Bliain agus An Cearrbhach, 2 cheist ar an Triail, agus cúpla leathanach faoin béaltriail... bleh.

I haven't even done my homework yet let alone any study I wanted to do myself, tbh if I get all my homework done at this stage I'll be happy

Gloom

I have done very, very little. It's amazing. I've been preoccupied with the internet and laziness. It was a nice break, but I need to get my behind in gear.

Wow, anyone mind posting some of the revision study sheets you were given for Christmas? English/Bio/History/Art/Business/ if possible.

8pm. Now. Here's what I plan to do:

1)Business - Section 1 & 2, bit of 3.
2)History - Start my essays.
3)English - Revise Bishop (no problem) &Montague (meh)
4)Biology: Food and Ecology Theory revision.
5)Art : Look over La Tene.
