Do we really need grinds?
If you manage your week properly, you'll pass the Leaving Cert with not much trouble.

Agreed, I've never had grinds, however as for management, I am an absolute disaster. I mean I've done no homework since Sunday night. This week has been such a scrap. So ye work on time management then no problems

Nope, I know exactly what you mean. I have him for pass maths too (I know, honours physics and pass maths ) but I'm good enough at maths to make my own way through that..

You'll get through it, I'm rather doomed for biology

How the hell haven't I found his thread before?! :O I've just found my ultimate procrastination tool :P quick question, what have people done in accounting? My teacher is actually a psychopath who can't teach so I'm really worried we're really behind! Like we started the question 1's almost two weeks ago and we've only done one and a half questions :O

Welcome, I enrolled yesterday, come for a homework break...then never leave.:D

As for accounting, I haven't even looked at the papers yet so my assumption that we're going at reasonable pace is purely being hopeful, I honestly have no idea how much we have to do. Good thing my teacher's not a psychopath though!

Haha ya somehow I see that happening to me too :P
Well see I've had this teacher since second year for business and then accounting, and it's a well known fact she's insane, she had some kinda breakdown last year so was out from September to christmas on "parental leave" when everyone knows she was in a psychiatric ward >.> (best 3 months of my academic life btw) like there's only 11 in the class and 8 are getting grinds :O methinks it'll be 9 fairly soon if things keep going the way they are :O

Hello Niamh! This is a lovely place to procrastinate, cause you know you're not the only LCer doing nothing when you see this lot chatting :rolleyes:
As goes accounting, I don't do it so I can't help!

Oh yeah I read about that in the paper. It was reported her Total net assets did not equal capital employed. Tragic:(

I do neither home ec nor accounting.

Chemistry, anyone?

I don't do Chemistry.. BUT I was thinking.... would it be possible to take it up only now and do the full course? S: Is it really difficult?

Honestly, I'd go for something like economics... It's not a particularly long course but it's heavy throughout, which makes it difficult to study, also some parts will be very difficult without having a teacher!

oh right.. S: thankoop! i was just thinking about taking it up as an 8th subject outside of the school cause i think i want to do veterinary medicine which you need chemistry for! But still it's like almost 600 points so I don't think I'll bother.. S: Ugh ah well.. still got a lot of other interests. (:
Does anyone here know exactly what they want to do in college? (:

Well if you think you'll have the motivation for it then by all means do it! I just know that I wouldn't be able to do it by myself. Do you live near Galway? If you do I could give you a photocopy of my grinds notes if you want.

For college, I know what I want to do and what I know I should do. It's so so hard to choose

So nice of you!! O: I'm about 2 hours from Galway. :P I wanna go to Galway for college actually. SO much nicer than Dublin. stupid Dublin. Not good for culchies.
But yeah anyways, (: I don't think I'll bother with Chemistry. I've got enough to worry about.. darn honours maths.. just passing it by a few percent each time! /: My brain would explode with more work. :eek:

I don't know if it's anything similar but people would say to me "But theres so much money in xxxx", where I'm thinking I should probably pick something because I think I'd enjoy it.

I'm from Dublin so Tcd and ucd are my main options but funnily enough should I get a chance to move out of the county I'd go for Nuig. Galway seems like a great place!

Haha! It is a great place..
But I think Dublin has more choice and better choices like.. The majority of nuig is all engineering and i have no interest for that at all. If tcd and ucd were in Galway I would be SO HAPPY! life is just evil. xD I actually don't know how I'd handle myself in Dublin! xD

too many people i think. xD I dunno.. i guess I'm not used to it.
Got lost trying to find Grafton street a few months ago! But I guess I'd know my way around if I actually do go there.
Gonna go and finish me comparative study I've meant to have done for tomorrow now! lahh
g'night! (:

I really want to study languages, either French and German or French and Italian, but I should do a sciencey course so I can get a good job. Ugh, life decisions aren't fun to make!

Not sure whether I feel the same way tbh

Well its sort of if you think about it, you're balancing what's likely to get you a job against what you'd really enjoy.

Goodnight all

That's exactly it! And then I think I'll defo do languages. But then I think of people who speak other languages, and end up working in McDonalds.

If there's anyone still here, g'night!

Ooooh I love chemistry. It's possible to take it up this year and get an honour. But you'd need to start like right now. There's a lot of concept grabbing so If you could get grinds it'd make your life a lot easier.

Haha I know what you mean, for the last few weekends I've either been working Saturday and Sunday morning or working Sunday morning and grinds on Saturday morning, I have to be up at 6:50 for work and at the same time as school for grinds, so getting up for school is like a sleep-in now :rolleyes:

Yeah that's one of the things killing me about it like. It's not so much the work and study, but just the lack of sleep:o I'm seeing it as preparation for (hopeful) future fatherhood:pac:
