Hola, so I'm a repeat student so I'm obviously going to go at it at full throttle. Missed my 500+ course so need every bit of study I can get. I myself panicked and even though I did study, I freaked myself out. So this is just something I can write down my progress on. I wont be doing loads every night for August or September, just need to get my head back on track.

I do ENGLISH,IRISH,FRENCH,BIOLOGY,HISTORY,ART,GEOGRAPHY(higher)

For now I'm Gonna log this every night at 9, all social networking/phones/ipods are off until then.

Clearly that social networking ban didn't work, realised I better keep talking to
my friends before they leave for college haha

Anywaaay I'm gonna post my results and what I expect to get

ENGLISH-A2-B1
irish-a1
FRENCH A2-B1
GEOG A1
BIOLOGY B2
ART B3-C1
HISTORY B1
so i think thats fairly acheivable for a repeat, leaving leeway for english and art though as they may not go my way

oncex

Haha forgot about this I'm such a muppet! Anyway I have Unit 1 of Bio, all the Physical Geog, Dictatorship and democracy, oral work, impressionism in art and little bits and pieces from everything.

Love the leaving cert !

oncex

Have dropped english and french and Im taking up economics!! It suits me because a new class has started up after school so I'm not doing it alone!

Got the first chapter of economics done anyway and cubism

oncex

Having no french and english is really making my life easier Tonights sraith pictiuri night!! Also getting a move on with my history topic

oncex

WOW This was clearly a fail. However a lot has changed since my scattered, still bitter about last year mind chose my subjects. I gave up english and french in october but realised french didn't require that much study and i missed english so took them back up!:o However at the time I picked up economics and it has probably been the best decision I made. My mocks went really really well and I got 550 points. That's thereabouts 100 up from last year. Oh life

In terms of study, all I'm doing at the moment is Irish and French oral, and the new history topic. However I did a full 2013 Economics paper this morning. Really gunning for A1's in Biology, Economics, Geography and Irish. English is a bit repetitive from last year. However I have learned Yeats and Heaney in order to have 5 poets. Also a massive fan of Dickinson so might have a look over her to replace Kinsella.

However I'm so slow with my sraith pictiurs. They are the bane of my life.
Have 1 and 2 perfectly and there are gaps in my knowledge with the others so hoping to perfect those this weekend.

Heading out tomorrow night in the city so hopefully I'll be able to catch up with everyone. Samhradh Abú is docha :D

Have UCAS offers for Occupational Therapy for Scotland and 2 colleges in England so not sure where I'll end up next year

oncex

Went to an interview for Occupational Therapy a few weeks ago in Edinburgh and I must say, I LOOOOOVE the college. It is beautiful. Got offered an unconditional offer based on last years LC, so no matter what I have a place
However, moving to Edinburgh will kill me. I'm only a culchie and don't think I could manage, so Ireland all the way :D
