Anybody else starting to really regret some of their subject choices? Physics is a really dry boring ****ing subject for me at this stage:(

I regret taking German at the start of the year, I dropped out but it was still a waste of two months. I wasn't even that bad at it, I just hated it though.

If I could go back to TY I probably wouldn't have chosen geography either, yes it is easier than most subjects, but it's soooooo slow and boring.

Kind of wish I'd taken classics or even art way back in the day, something slightly more cultural. I don't even know why I chose physics in retrospect, I never even liked it at JC. Didn't like history either though, but I was really good at it. I was good at art too. :S

Our Irish teacher has ten of the picture sequences done but is refusing to let us learn them verbatim as she's in with the people setting the marking scheme and said it'd bode badly for us so I'd suggest doing them yourself and getting them corrected which is what she is doing for us.

Ours is just getting us to learn them off... great Out of curiosity, what tense are all of you doing yours in? At first our teacher said that at higher level, we should be doing them in the aimsir láithreach, and that doing it in the aimsir chaite was more of an ordinary level thing. Then she decided that she'd do them all in the aimsir chaite, saying that she was talking to other teachers in different schools and they're all doing it like that.

We started out in AC and then redid them in AL. Apparently thats what the department said but my teacher is a retard so I don't know.

Strangely loads of people in my class took up art for leaving cert after not doing it for junior cert. None of them great at it either.

Find the AL easiest for the pictures.

Kind of wish I had taken Chemistry instead of Music! But I know next year i'll be glad of Music as a points grabber subject as the practical is worth a massive 50%.. ..

Also I wish Economics had been offered in my school.. I'm doing it myself outside school (started in February), have 14/20 Chapters Done and a good few exam questions!

Summer Tests.. Hmm, Hoping to maintain at least 500 points again! I'm counting in Economics as a B3 in HL so have to get on pretty well in all my other subjects to reach 500.. Really hoping for an A in Maths though!

I brought home loads of book to study for my summer tests over Easter.




Haven't opened a single one yet... I can't get motivated.

I studied for 15 mins + today. Well proud of myself.

I'm going out 5 nights between now and Tuesday week, and I have notes on the 20 Irish pictures, myself, my school and my area for Irish to learn and 22 irregular French verbs to learn. And 2 English comprehensions to do. The bag hasn't been opened.

Fuck. My. Life.

I need to rewrite a load of them oral pic sheets and then learn them
Anyone else here got a summer job this year? I am slowing regretting getting one

seriouslysweet

All three tenses but m.c for questions too. just get a grid with verbs in different tenses and makes it far easier.

You have a summer job and regret getting it? The amount of people unemployed ATM, you should be delighted to have a job & is it because you want to study over the summer that you regret getting one?

I haven't got a job sorted yet but If I had then I definitly would not be regretting getting it. I would go mad without a job tbh

seriouslysweet

I have a job, sure you can't study all the time, if I do two hours of proper study a day I will be really pleased with myself!

Yeah I have a summer job, I've been working for the whole school year so I'll just be continuing that job! I'm delighted to have it, because I'm one of the only ones in my class who has one, plus it's a good job and I enjoy the work

Two hours every day over the summer? It's called the summer holidays for a reason, take a break or else you'll burn out before the mocks arrive.

I have a job for may, not sure about the summer though.


**** off studying during summer even if I don't still have the job then! :O

Well I have one job in august and I absolutely love that job But the one I have until then is just awful. It's sooo hard. And I know I should be happy I have one as there are many people unemployed. No don't think I'd study during the Summer. Too lazy :P

This is a fair enough comment, but for people who are aiming for 550+ or to study medicine, or people who are taking subjects outside of school without a teacher, studying a couple of hours a day during the summer isn't that much at all really and is very manageable.

I don't have a hope of getting a job because I'll be missing for pretty much all of July but I think I have one for the summer before college and that's when I'll need the moniez.

And I still have to make some sort of attempt to start Economics so I'll probably do that during the summer...

Economics will crush your soul.. I'm doing it on my own I started after Christmas and it's torture.. So complicated especially the Micro Section! I would definitely try some other subject if I were you!

I'll be getting grinds in it next year too so I'm not really doing it myself though and I've heard a lot of people say it's not too bad and the course it quite short, I'll give it a go anyway...
