    Think about all your mates being in 1st year in college having a blast. Then picture yourself repeating your leaving. That should do it.

    Take some time off, no point flogging a dead horse.

    Perhaps you should go to the libraray or something and get some quiet time. Stay away from the computer too. If you can't leave the house, a good idea would be to flip the main switch, knocking off the tv and the pc. Pull out the telephone wire too, and turn off your mobile.

    And just keep saying to yourself, "There's only a couple of weeks left. 12 years down and 3 weeks left. A piece of cake."


    Now STUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    yeah later discovered, i took it down thinking my god this fella has some brains! some of the stuff is written by him but other is stuff he copied but for him to have all that stuff to copy he must have read the majority of it...

    Get off the reefer-it lowers your will to do or succeed at anything-apart from maybe eating junk food and forming a lovely impression of your ass in seats & sofas alike!!

    Or if not into blow-turn off your damn pc

    ok theres wayyyyy too many people on here with less than a week to go i think this screams help


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭Vikings


    -i think i might just go study now ... music on ... time to lock the mouse and keyboard away


  • Registered Users Posts: 531 ✭✭✭Sarah**


    aww dont go then i really will have to go and study!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 311 ✭✭<Jonny>


    Set goals. If there's something about a subject you're not sure of, look it up, and try to make notes on it. Say you'll do it by a certain time. Test yourself without looking at books until it goes in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 531 ✭✭✭Sarah**


    thats a good idea, by the way jonny ur pics in ur gallery are brilliant!! see how distracted i get!! but really they are really good!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 311 ✭✭<Jonny>


    Haha, i demand you to stop looking at my gallery and get back to work :(

    thanks though! Good luck with the study, don't get depressed about it if you feel like you're not getting anywhere.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭Vikings

    incredible i knew u wouldnt do any study!! hehe!! destined to be bums all our lives!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 240 ✭✭Johnerr


    Nothing can really motivat you, its up to yourself,

    You have two options, you can stay on the computer, watch t.v or go out etc, or....... you can take the finger out and do some study, no one like to do study but its just one of them thing thats got to be done,

    It'll be all over soon so try and use your time as efficently as possible,


  • Registered Users Posts: 654 ✭✭✭sparkle_23


    i cant study either n ive dun nothing in 2 years! im so screwed... :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭Vikings


    Just finished maths paper 1, got 5 questions 100% perfect, messed up one a little bit and did the other 2 questions just for *fun*. Helps that I know most of the maths, should really be studying physics or history instead but meh...


  • Registered Users Posts: 531 ✭✭✭Sarah**


    you studied!! noooooooo!! you traitor!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭Vikings


    Barely ... though I do plan to do some irish tomorrow. Might write a letter and story.

    So much to do and so little time, I think i'll just scrap physics and history and concentrate on the other 5.


  • Registered Users Posts: 531 ✭✭✭Sarah**


    i like ur mentality!!! i have a 3 hour grind in english tomorrow so i have an excuse!! hehe


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭Vikings


    Oh and tech ... damn, that leaves me with maths, irish, french and english.

    I'd say I can scrape together 200 points from them 4.


  • Registered Users Posts: 531 ✭✭✭Sarah**

    When I grow up, I want to be a waterbeetle.

    Computer Science or Computer Applications or Engineering or something in those fields. Whatever I get the points for - if I get the points. Though I have carlow's computer games development down as number 1 choice but I wont get that.
