I just watched caca milis and I don't even do Irish I suck at studying :pac:

What essays are ye covering for Irish?
I think I'll just do education, Irish language and the gathering. I'm really not bothered :P

From going to bed at 4 one night and getting up at 10 the next morning to going to falling asleep on the couch at half nine last nine and getting up at 8, it's fair to say my sleeping pattern's all over the place.

I've also gone into that "It's-only-exams-there-are-far-more-important-things" frame of mind these last few days. My brain really does pick its times to just stop caring about the LC

The exams are just getting in the way at this stage :pac:

^ we've done none of these! Doing young people, dangers of the interenet, recession/imigration and maybe something else . . I'd love a problems in our society essay or something like that!

I'm having the same kind of experience. I think the later I go to bed the earlier I tend to get up, 'tis very unusual.

The only logical thing to do is pull an all-nighter the night before the first exam

Need a f*cking summer job. Rich friend has practically secured a well paid job for the entire summer. That's bad enough. The job is as a games tester.

Always drives me mad, it's all about who you know, so many people I know get great cushy jobs and I'm like "how in gods name did he/she get a job, he/she is so dour, she/he would ate a customers head off!"

Erm, maybe practicing recognising certain questions, seeing as they're trying to make the geography questions fairly vague and force you to think about what you're going to write. Maybe save time on the short questions by only answering ten instead of all 12? Also, I know personally the better I know something the faster I'll be able to write it out without thinking too much, but I don't really want to tell you to go and study haha.

Anyone know where else I could look for a job?? Besides cafes and restaurants etc.

Not even joking, every time I finish revising a biology chapter and cross it off the list, I have to add on a chapter I've forgotten about...the course is endless!!

I could learn a whole biology chapter off and forget it the next day my memory is awful when it comes to the subject! :pac:

Yeah like I do normally something fairly well but still have trouble getting the most SRPs I can :P Maybe I already have the amount of SRPs already and won't need that much extra info?
The thing that annoys me is that it is hard to know whether you have enough SRPs down as some examiners take certain points and others don't.

It's not who you know, it's who you blow.
