    I have gotten so lazy, just like ah I'll take the evening off everyday! It's not good, only like 8 school weeks left (or so I was told today - open to correction!). I'm 80 points off my course, like from my mock results but :mad: feel like it's never gonna happen. Motivation is so hard to come by!

    arts where? ucd?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    Same. Arts, in UCC though. Although if everything goes unreal, then it'll be Law.

    I cannot study, I really can't. I do night owls(7-10) and its just a waste. Cause I'll spend the whole time doing homework, and if I have no homework I'll either mess or stare at a page for about 40 minutes. Hopefully when the mocks come back I can scare myself into doing proper study which works.:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭DancingQueen:)


    I got a bit of a kick after the mock results. I didn't do that badly but if that was my leaving cert i wouldn't have gotten my course with the points it was this year :( It's expected to go up aswel. The last few nights i've studied a good bit and hope to continue on like this until June!

    what u want to do DQ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭DancingQueen:)


    what u want to do DQ?

    Science in Trinity, not as high as other courses people want to do but still tough to get imo. It was 440 this year but so many people want to do it it's bound to go up. I've got a few sciencey things down for Maynooth too and if i don't get my first choice i'd be happy doing them so it isn't the end of the world but i'd Science in Trinity. What about yourself?

    oh that is tough...hopefully it doesn't go up too much. next few months tho just put the work in and hopefully things will work out(i bloody hope lol)

    well ye goin for arts in ucd, but have BESS as first choice but really at this stage no hope of gettin it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭DancingQueen:)


    High points? I've Arts in UCD down too but i think its 5/6, I could see you there! Yeah fingers crossed the points don't sky rocket, everyones saying they will but we'll just have to wait and see. You could get BESS, just study like mad :) Maybe you'll be lucky and the points will go down.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 92 ✭✭BrokenHeels_Ox


    arts where? ucd?


    yeh in UCD :D might cya there ;) what subjects u wanting to do?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 453 ✭✭gonnaplayrugby


    ha ye hopefully for both our sakes :D... idk i put down economics and french but that could change. u?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 92 ✭✭BrokenHeels_Ox


    sociology and linguistics :D
    i really hope the points dont go up...im gonnna have to work my ass off to get 360 as it is!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 453 ✭✭gonnaplayrugby


    and looks like it will go up by at least 20 :(

    but all u can do is your best. if u put the work in you will most likely see the rewards!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 92 ✭✭BrokenHeels_Ox


    have u any career choices in mind ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 222 ✭✭brian1991


    My plan for the last few months is intensive. I need about 420 points and am only here to get some Irish translations.
    Plan: further summarise and learn one Revise Wise chapter in each subject per day, although this can vary (one poem per day in Irish etc).
    So far I have not kept to the plan as much as I should have, unfortunately.

    finally people like me who cant study!! although, i didn't do to badly in the mocks, i got 370 points.

    I have a list of courses I would like to do ranging from 445 - 330 points, and honestly I think I would be happy doing any of them. The fact that I'm thinking to my self "sure if i just do the same again then I will have one of teh courses I want" isn't helping the whole motivation thing.

    Its terrible, I was great from 1st-TY, always did my work and homework, but now, when it matters most I'm like meh, I couldn't be arsed.

    Barely passed some of my mocks but I expect to pull in some easy marks with Art and Tech Graphics. I do hope to do well but my results are never horrible enough to motivate me to do so. I can do much much better but I feel so lazy about it :(

    Hoping for around 350-400, and got 330 in mocks.

    I can get a D to low-C in most subjects without trying but I feel there's so much effort even in just dragging it up to a B, which is what I'll need.
