bout 25 people on this forum right now. That says something. Although i'm not really worried/nervous/anxious about the exams. I am troubled by the fact that i'm not any of the 3 aforementioned states of mind. Really have done sweet fa over last 2days. I'm determined to correct that 2moro. Any actually study as in learn not just sit there with comp. running in background learning nothing. Aswel

Study plans. do u have them? DO they work?

I don't and i think i need one. JUst for these last few days i need one. i find it soo hard to gauge where i'm at.

For instance in maths i always come out smiling, feeling good like i just killed that exam while others are sweating and saying it was the hardest thing they've ever done. scrape a pass in it. WHile other subjects i'm the latter group after exams but usually do much better.

Just keep imagining how fun the last night will be... when EVERYONE goes on the piss! Thats whats getting me through these days.

Oh I can't wait for that big night out either!!!

exiztone

I'm ****ting myself too. I did well in my mock, but I still have this fear that every paper that I get is going to have questions that I can't answer

randomfella

yeah i wonder how that will work... if ppl not out till 23rd r whatever will come out b4 that. Personally i'm going out 17th BUT after our 2nd grad night i duno, got refused a night club and 2pubs because of a **** college i.d they wouldn't even look at it because it wasn't garda, passport or driving license. The 1st grad night was so much better where they rented the club for us. on 2nd grad night everyone went different places but some lad told a few of them that it was our grad night, so we were bound to get refused. AHHH!!! if that happens with my leaving nite i'll go mad or even worse results night!!

I just feel so confused.It's like-i have been studying since september but i really feel like i still no nothing. I also feel like i can't get anymore in,like my heads all full. I even raked the garden the other day because i just didn't want to be near books.

I just want it to all be over at this stage.

no!!!!!!!! they take ages to work out, and you feel extra-stressed if you don't stick to them.
maybe just scribble down a list each morning , eg. i'm doin a poet, mapwork in geog, Lemass in history, and an Honours poem in Irish.
see, it's realistic, so if i get them done, i can do "extra", and i think i'm doing loads and i feel all "confident" and **** (its all pscychological)
but big mad fancy plans do not work, for me anyway!!

Get some Bach's Rescue Remedy in a chemist, take a few drops and just get on with work. You are not screwed, you can get loads done in the next week if you can just stop panicking

*Angel*

Yeah I'm pretty f*cked and I'm finding it impossible to study.

Droogie

I'm just really anxious now... But, 7 days and it's all over for me.

Wednesday to Wednesday! :eek:

Just calms you down. I looked at the ingredients, it's some sort of herbal remedy, but it also contains 'grape alcohol' (which I strongly suspect is actually brandy) It does actually work, just don't take too much because it makes you real sleepy - great for the night before an exam, but not great during the exam (if you use it to get to sleep, make sure someone comes in to wake you up as well, I slept through my alarm the first time I took it at night, you wouldn't want to miss an exam!)

The fuçking things invading my dreams, I keep having dreams about failing it, missing it and being late for it every damn night. It's got me in these mood swings where when I'm studying I'm actually thinking I could break the 500 mark and when I'm not, or I just wake up I'm struggling to get by 300 marks.
I just want to do it at this stage :mad:
And then get pissed, mightily fuçking pissed.

21 days and it's all over for me.. I'm graduating tonight! wooo! I'm quite nervous but at the same time I don't think It's hit me yet that It's the actual leaving cert. Wednesday morning I'll have literally cr@pped myself! Just keeping positive and trying to study as much as possible. It's not the end of the world!
