Geography (H) B1
Biology (H) B1
Gaeilge (H) B2
English (H) B2
Economics (H) B2
German (H) B3

*might drop down

That's a total of 485 points. :pac:
I'm interested in Commerce, Law, Geography, Nursing, Sociology, Midwifery and Biological and Chemical Sciences (all UCC). I've been doing little bits and pieces over summer because I missed a good bit of school. Also doing after school study.

Let the games begin.

Forgot to include this above ^ today is dedicated to biology; writing notes, drawing diagrams and learning some equations

is mise spartacus

So. Much. English.
Seriously though it took me an hour to organise all my notes. I have geography and economics notes to sort too. Plenty of time :P

is mise spartacus

This past week I have been extremely busy.
I have 7 large folders full of notes and I honestly have no idea how they will fit into my tiny locker.
After school study starts the first Tuesday of September so I'll try to get into a routine soon enough.
I went through my math notes. I finally understood where I was going wrong so I did paper 1 of 2013 and got 195/300!
Practise really does make perfect :pac:

Needed to edit this a tad, I'll aim for higher level maths sure.. Be grand :cool:

One week to school.
The kitchen table is half full with my books and folders all prepared for next week.
I attempted a few Maths questions, got half of them correct.
Quite pleased with that to be honest .
Staying at higher level.

I tried using that site, and completed a few lessons for Italian. But there are a lot of problems with it ... for Italian. :l A lot of the audio things don't work and some of the sentences don't make sense.
