    Completely lost routine!
    Last week has been a waste. How do you guys get up early and study?

    Arrange to meet a friend for breakfast/coffee at 7.30 or so. It'll force you both to get up!

    I hate subjects that have extra sections you do beforehand, like the orals in French and Irish.

    People always say 'Ohh but you have 25% of the marks before even going into the exam'. But it's not like you need to know 25% less for the actual written exam! You still need to sit down and study 100% of it, just as much as you would if the written exam was there in isolation!

    Same applies to the Geography Field Study, and the History Research topic. I'd say the Art students get annoyed about all the separate bits to the exam as well (Art History etc.)

    Especially the Technology project. It's worth half the total marks and it's a pain in the arse.

    Listen, who do you think you are? You don't know me, so why you decide to find random posts by me and say lies like that?

    If you really need your resources you should have thought of them and got access to them so you wouldn't have to ask people for their own work in order to plagiarise it.

    So Snake17, please do the world a favour and shut the **** up. If I see another post like that, I will report you.

    does anyone else find that they're constantly tired? I know we have a break now, but during a schoolweek I'm always wrecked coming home, and often fall asleep at my homework, or take a powernap in supervised study/History.

    A load of girls at school find this too, is it just our school??

    I also find that I really don't care anymore. Last year was like, Oh.My.God. Leaving next year *panic panic panic*

    This year its more like I'm so sick of it I'm just not bothered

    Absolutely. I'm absolutely knackered, even during the holidays. Even since November I have been constantly tired. You're not alone, don't worry.

    +1000. After Christmas I felt grand, but now I'm almost always knackered and in a fairly crap mood as well. Oh well. in a couple of months it will all be over :D.

    I'm just going to rant.
    My parents have paid for me to do a mock spanish oral today and I cannot find my role plays, except 1 and 5. I feel like crying and it's not even the real thing but I dont want to be sitting there stuttering spanish at someone I don't know. I have 2 hours to find my role plays. which I took down right before easter holidays and put in my bag, so something ate them clearly :(
    /end

    Other than that I'm pretty okay xD

    If we've made it this far we may as well just give it everything for the next two months. I sure as hell don't feel like it right now, but the thought of walking in and out of each exam knowing I didn't try my best? That would be tough...

    Jesus that's tough going. Atleast you probably have most of all your courses covered though, yeah? Best of luck with your Leaving Cert though, really hope you get on well.

    :( That always happens. I supervised the Leaving last year in my school and thought it was brillant watching all the people in my old class doing the Leaving (I did TY, they didn't), having a laugh with them and then going out to enjoy the sun. Not going to be the same this year though. Although we'll live, it won't last forever (even if it seems like it!).
