        Today was one of my most unproductive days since Christmas. I am so disappointed with what I got done and I know the rest of the weekend will also be a write off! But sure isn't pressure just for tires! :P

        So here is what I actually accomplished today!

        1. I did another final accounts of a company (I still can't do them independantly without the marking scheme)

        2. I did more complex numbers and an hour of maths grinds.

        3. I did alot of history that I feel isn't going to be of much benefit because I am so bad at history overall!

        4. I am going to read over my Ag Science notes for Beef, Dairy and Sheep before I go to sleep later.

        Tomorrow I am going to get up early and try and do as much work on history as I can and then go out, So basically I won't be doing much work after tomorrow morning until Tuesday! I feel so guilty over this :eek:

        Next weekend I am going to try and make up for missing so much time :)


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Okay so my work for today has finished.

        All I got done was a bit of History. I'm fairly disappointed but I didn't expect to get much more than that done today anyways.

        I am going to try and cover a good bit of stuff tomorrow but for now I'm stopping. Tuesday on wards will definitely be back to my normal routine :o


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Finally back to the books after my highly unproductive weekend! :pac:

        I got a good bit done today so far but I think its gonna be a late one tonight! I have a test tomorrow and right now only know like 50% of what I should!

        Anyways here's what I managed to get done so far!

        Maths - Complex numbers (multiplying) I'm kind of annoyed by how little I got done in maths in an hour. I spent nearly half an hour doing the same one repeatedly until it worked out!

        Ag Science - I revised half of my notes on Pigs! I would of liked to have got a bit more done but I should finish it by the end of the week!

        Accounting - I finally learnt the ratios for Interpretation of Accounts and a lot of the definitions! I really should of done this earlier but at least its done now!

        I'm going to do more accounting tonight! I really want/need an A1 in Accounting!


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        I have so much stuff to do today it is ridiculous :confused:

        Here is what I have accomplished:

        History I have revised rise of the Nazi's - History is by far my worst subject!

        Geography - I learnt Cultural Regions - Belgium/Netherlands

        Maths - Complex Numbers - Conjugate and division

        Ag Science - I did more on Pigs

        Geography - I have a sketch map drawn!

        History - Half an essay!

        And here is what I still have to accomplish before school tomorrow

        English - Another page of a General Vision and Viewpoint essay

        Ag Science - I have a lot of exam questions for homework that is due tomorrow!


        Wish me luck! It's going to be a long night! I hope this pays off in the end.




        Update

        I'm wrecked tired! I got around half of the questions in Ag done and I'm not going to finish them tonight! And the English isn't done yet either, I'm going to try and get up early to do it but if not the teacher will just have to wait for it haha! I hate not getting things fully done it makes me feel like I'm going to fail that subject for not getting this nights homework done haha!

        Hi :)

        My study today was alright, I'd give it a 7/10!

        Maths - Complex numbers (the next three exercises) Spent about an hour at it

        Ag Science - I learned a lot about the digestive system.

        Geography - I re-read what I did over the last few weeks.

        By any chance does anyone reading this know if I am doing enough? I want 350 points to be safe! The maximum points I can get is 480! :( I think if i keep at it I can get an A1 in my two ordinary level subjects!


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Hi :D

        I got a fair bit done today so not too disappointed.

        Ag Science - Finished revising the digestive system! I now know it completely so hoping it will come up.
        I wrote out notes on the circulatory system.

        Maths - Did an hour of complex numbers again! I'm basically doing the whole chapter.

        Irish - Wrote out what I know for the 1st pictures in Irish. Going to do one a day.

        I'd love to know if people think I'm doing enough to get around 330? The max i can get is 480 but in one of my ordinary subjects I should get an A1


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Hey!

        I didn't get a chance to update this for yesterday so I'll do it now.

        I did Section C of 2013 LCVP exam papers,

        I learnt some experiments for ag science,

        I did an hour of maths grinds,

        I learnt about rivers in geography.


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Hey,

        Today i managed to:

        Ag Science - complete all the pig questions in the exam papers

        Maths - Yet more complex numbers! About half way through the chapter now.

        Irish - Write out notes on one of the sraith.

        Overall I didn't get that much done and I really need to pick up the pace. Am so tired all the time! School is becoming so laborious! Many classes feel like they are completely nonsensical and pointless at this stage! I don't need to be listening to teachers mundane life stories I need to be learning! Rant over.


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Hey!

        I didn't get too much done today! Had a really busy day!

        I revised pigs again in ag science.

        Today really was a bad day study wise but I will make up for it later this evening and tomorrow :)

        Got a fair bit done today, The fear of not getting the points I need is setting in and its terrifying me!

        Ag Science - Did six years of questions on sheep in the exam papers and did all the Q1 questions of 2013.

        Accounting - I did three production budgets and one interpretation of Accounts. I have them perfected at last! :)

        Geography - I did the 2010 short questions and learnt primary economic activities in the Western and Dublin regions.

        Later or tomorrow morning before school I need to do a paragraph of an English essay. I've got into the habit of getting up ridiculously early to finish homework.


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        I got a middling amount done today haha! I might take a couple of days off soon so I can go over everything.

        Ag Science - Finished all the past exam paper questions on sheep and did a soils question and a dairy question

        English - I wrote out notes for the Cultural Context. I've really been slacking off on English so I'll probably spend ages on it at the weekend :cool:

        Accounting - I did an interpretation of accounts and production budget!

        Maths - I did even more complex numbers :)

        I'm getting EXTREMELY worried I wont get the points I need. It's actually terrifying..


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Awful disappointed about today!

        Spent like two hours doing an essay for English

        Did a couple of exam questions in Ag Science

        Read over stuff in history - I'm always in a bad mood after history. I'm just so bad at it. I find it awful boring!

        SIGH


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Hey! :D

        Irish - Two sraith pictures

        Accounting - half a budgeting

        Ag Science - Digestive system and pigs


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Yallo!!

        Okay today I did an okay amount of stuff but to be honest I'm so worried about not getting the points for my course now its ridiculous! :confused:

        I've recently started exercising more regularly and trying to run 25km a week so it works out at about 3.5km a day so this is eating into my time but hey its good for ya! (I think)

        Anyhoo I'll get to the point :p

        Today I did:

        Maths - Equality of Complex Numbers, Transformations: Addition of a complex number and Transformations: Multiplication by a constant.

        LCVP - I went through a marking scheme for a previous years exam and wrote down what I didn't know.

        Geography - I did secondary economic activities in an Irish region and the growth of Dublin. I have to read over these every night now for a bit.

        Accounting - Oh how i do hate accounting. I did Q9 and Q2 from 2010.

        Ag Science - Two questions from the mock.

        English - Question about Dickinsons poetry. (only like half a page)

        I really need to get intense on the LCVP study and this weekend is going to have to be all Irish oral! If this oral didn't exist I'd do so much better!

        I've a feeling this is gonna be a very long summer of worry :( :rolleyes:


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Hey,

        Today was an okay day study wise :) I am really starting to dislike school though!

        Here's what I got done:

        Ag Science - Learned a good bit of grassland, must do more on it tomorrow. It's surprisingly more complex than you'd think.

        Maths - Did a bit of translations: multiplication with a imaginary number and a couple of random exam paper questions (stem and leaf etc)

        Accounting - Did a Cash Flow and a question 9

        I have a few Ag Science questions for homework to do later :P And I need to somehow find notes on tertiary in Ireland for geography because my book has hardly any information on it! I also need to search the house for coloring pencils so I might be a while..


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Hi! :)

        I left the Ag Homework until this morning and accidentally turned the alarm off instead of pressing snooze so fell asleep again - resulting in me speed writing answers before the bus.. :cool:

        Today I did the following:

        Geography - I learned Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Economic Activities in the Paris basin. I'll need to go over these a good bit though.

        Ag Science - Did more grassland! I'm gonna try and revise all of grassland as quick as possible and then do the exam questions.

        English - Essay on Bishop - well part of an essay on Bishop

        Irish - Printed off the sraith pictures that i'd lost haha!

        Accounting - Production budget. (I've done millions of them at this stage)


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Hey,

        Each and every day is freaking me out more and more! I have to get the points :eek:

        Anyways here's what I did today!

        English - Derek Mahon notes made out just a matter of learning them now

        Ag Science - Learnt off A LOT of Grassland. Gonna go over it again tomorrow :) So happy with what I got done with Ag! Was ages at it!

        Maths - Did more complex numbers - Nearly done!

        Tomorrow I have geography SRP's to learn off and I just cant bring myself to do it! It has to be done though..

        I will have to do a load of Irish!

        And I'll do more maths! I want to finish complex numbers!


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Hey,

        All I'm going to do today is Irish Oral work!

        Taking a small break now though!

        Update

        I don't know whats wrong today I just can't concentrate properly. I did a good bit of Oral Irish but I am nowhere near finished! I'm taking a long enough break now and I'll stay up late doing it. So I'm going to be tired all week now!

        Roll on Summer!


      • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


        Ag Science - I finished learning grassland and wrote out a lot of soil experiments to learn.

        Geography - Growth of an urban area in Europe, Growth of an urban area in Ireland, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary in Europe.

        I got so annoyed this evening. I finally finished learning of grassland so I went to do a few exam questions and the questions that were asked aren't even covered in the book. Its awful disheartening!

        I am SO worried about not getting my course :(

        Hey,

        I did a lot yesterday but was too lazy to write this up :P

        On the other hand I got very little done today! I had to go somewhere.

        I re-revised one of the chapters on grassland for Ag Science today.

        Tomorrow I should get a good bit done :D - I hope!

        It's extremely weird and kind of sad that school is nearly over! That being said, I don't want to go back next year!
