Leaving Cert 2012-13 *OFF-TOPIC* (hideaway) thread

I'm not a fan of tea either. I only drink it if there's some bikkies to go with it.

And someone doesn't like hot chocolate? ;o I'm gonna have to teach my younger brother that asking girls out for a cup of chocolate doesn't work anymore...

Colm!

WHOA NOW YOU GUYS ARE NOT TAKING ON THE GLORIOUS REIGN OF BARRY'S TEA IN THIS HERE SUBFORUM
although coffee is overrated. though I've had some great mochas in my time, I just can't get into normal coffee. I want to try a coldbrew sometime though.

Lads, I'm curious. Without tea, what's your excuse for breaks from studying? There's nothin' like making tea to provide a brief 2 minute relief

"BrownBear*, what are you doing downstairs?"
"Just makin' tea, Mam"
"Aw grand so, make me a cup!"

















*No, my mother does not actually call me BrownBear

Macbeth, I'm assuming? Damn I shouldn't have dropped English, now I'll never get your witty Shakespeare references

Don't worry I do Macbeth and still don't get the majority of the Shakespeare references!

I'm convinced I'd get a lot more work done if I had a kettle and a mini-fridge in my room to make tea!


Unfortunately the old dear doesn't see it that way (needless to say she isn't a tea drinker!)

See, if i did have a kettle in my room I probably wouldn't even want tea (as much ). Half of the appeal is the mini break which goes with it.

Having said that, I fully intend to have both a minifridge and a kettle in my room for college

I do most of my study in the kitchen so really it's like a constant break......the press is always no more than 5 steps away. Usually the radio is on as well and the tv once it hits 6 so obviously I have a perfect study environment :P

I like it! Might consider that, study wouldn't seem such a chore then

I have two study areas, up in my room and then we have what Dad calls "the office". It's not as fancy as it sounds, it's a table and a chair with a few shelves on the wall. Why he insists on calling it"the office" I'll never know :rolleyes:

The kitchen is my only option, my room isn't anywhere near big enough to accommodate a desk. The kitchen used to have a breakfast table kinda thing with 2 high stools that I've practically always used for my homework. About 2 years ago it was replaced with a counter-top so I now, for want of a better expression, do my homework at the kitchen counter.

I do a lot of my work lying on my floor or bed, I only sit at my desk if I'm doing exam questions or if I'm giving myself a quick test on something. I don't know what it is, but I'm so much more comfortable on the floor or walking around with flash cards than I am in my comfortable office chair at my desk.

No way we have that as well It's used for actual eating once a year at Christmas when we have guests over and for the other 364 days it's just a drop spot for the mother's handbag or keys or purse or work stuff or all of the above What, are the highstools gone like? Tell me ya don't do your hw standing up?

Dangerous though. I find studying anywhere near my bed is just asking for trouble, in the form of naps mostly

Nope the stools are still there, it's only the table that's gone. The table had it's legs broken off when it was replaced and I wouldn't mind but I was kind of attached to that table

Chemistry and English Paper 2 tomorrow I should be studying but clearly taking a nap was the best course of action instead!


Literally English 2 is liable to be a total disaster, I will be delighted if I know the names of the poems of the poet who comes up tomorrow, after that I haven't much hope!

Chemistry people need to experiment with anal

Chemistry people need to beware of suckback.

Mine was a genuine tip ... But on the subject.
