Repeats 2012
Comments

Repeating is grand really. As of today I have 100 school days left until I'm finished school! Again... :rolleyes: :P
It's going pretty well though. I'm generally a lot more motivated than last year, and two new subjects means I'm more interested because there's so much new stuff.
The hard part is just being in school while all my mates are off in college. I can't wait 'til the year's over but I'm happy with my decision to repeat.

Nice choice, even though ive never done business in my life! Some form of Law. Now only to convince the parents that i dont want to do science or become a surgeon! I was the exact same and procrastination was my weapon of mass destruction 
Aw law seems good, they're all interesting career choices. I decided I actually will go to the trinity open day just as everyone will be. I'm managing my procrastination a little better this year it's still there I'm just perfecting it. What subjects are you taking this year?0 -

Firstly, awesome name
Secondly, 100 days left is pretty scary! Its funny how at least 3 people here have picked up 2 new subjects though Well out of the friends ive stayed in contact since results only ones in college and the other 2 are doing plc's. Its good that your happy repeating. I had a friend that failed maths and she did everything she could not to go back. So she doing maths on her own at home and has only 250 points. Whats funny is both me and my friend have notice that she gives off the feeling that shes better than me for not repeating in school! 0 -

Oh right at least you know now. I need to try and get into some sort of routine with studying. Those subjects are so different. Aw I've never learnt Irish before, so lucky you're not doing maths. I'm doing geography , business , French, maths , then taking up honours english and economics I actually love all my subjects this year apart from French I wish I could drop it. My French teacher is also my English teacher which doesn't help. We just spend the time listening to him get us to translate comprehensions. My copy is completely empty for that class and English. 0 -

Thank you! Yeah I s'pose it it is pretty scary, the year really flies! A good lot of my friends are doing PLCs too actually so at least I'll be going into my first year of college at the same time as them. I was going to just repeat Maths and maybe one other but I decided I'd be better off doing the lot. You only live once like! :P 0 -

Yup, and i like it that way plus the new friends ive made in school will be in college at the same time as me. I think it makes more sense especially if you want to improve on the grades you had before. Its only one extra year and its not going to kill ya

In all honesty...i didn't like it much. I didn't like the vibe i got from the place and the weather didnt help. I was never bothered about Trinity anyway. UCD for the win Im curious about everyone else 0 -

Yeah I thought the same I went to one talk for my friend. The university feels to prestigious , and not really for me. I don't like the ground with the stones either. It seems okay for others just not for me.0 -

Bit late into the thread but I thought I'd join in as I'm taking a break from today's study for tomorrow's tests. Being back was fairly strange at the start. There's not a chance I would have been able to do it if my best friend wasn't. Last year the two of us were the only ones in our year that always said "there's no way we're repeating next year". Funny how things turn out. I thought I'd really hate most of the year too but I like the majority of them much more than my original leaving cert year. Points wise I did brutal in June. Ended up failing 2 of my 3 honor level subjects. I missed out on my course by only one honor grade too.
This year I'm only doing 6 subjects, and thankfully that doesn't include Irish or maths. I have about 2 days worth of study classes a week which really I'd want to start making more use of. I've moved up to honors level English which is going really well. Just have to catch up on a few poems and all of Hamlet. Dropped business and took up geography. After failing just about every biology test I've been getting 70-95% in each class test since.
The only real problem I'm having is I feel a lot more pressure this year. I think that because you're repeating people always always "Oh, you should find this easy" whereas I'm like "No really, I'm repeating for a reason". I keep making the joke that this year for me is just like going into leaving cert for the first time. Learnt a lot last year. Hoping this year goes a lot better 0 -

Thats the exact same as me Thought i'd never have to repeat but at least i was open to it when i needed to be! I have about a day and a half free with no Irish, Maths and LCVP. Its not to bad but it does get boring considering i type all my notes and essays out (its much faster). At the TCD open day i was told that i shouldnt aim to high as i dont want to be dissapointed like last year and i was like if i dont get what i want this year, repeating was a waste! I feel like im learning a lot more as i have pretty much no distractions and i find my subjects are more interesting as a result. We all hope it goes better 0 -

I'm the same I did awful in mine too I failed one of my honours and one ordinary , the rest of the grades weren't the best either. I told myself last year I'd never repeat and that I'd at least make 290 points I didn't even make that. The pressure is definitely on I feel like I want my course more than ever before , I can't repeat again no way. I will be so upset if I do not get the grades for that course. I just keep reminding myself what I want to achieve. I might actually stop going out next year and just stay in studying maybe go out once a month. I'd feel like I wasted the year if I don't get the course I want.0 -
