Too True For My Linking!

Saw this today on facebook!

September: 600 points easily, put the head down be grand.
Christmas: ah in fairness 600 was very ambitious, 540 is probably more of my league.
After Mocks: shit. Slight overestimation. The mocks only test ya shur...450 be grand, don't want med anymore anyway.
April: Points have to go down this year for sure...300 be fine.
May: i'll literally be happy with 10.

I think at some point or other we all feel this way! Fair play to whoever had the balls to post it. But you know what? It's graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. 

Just don't overload yourself with everything that's left to study and be covered. Oh and give written permission to your best friend at school, to give you a good smack across the face when or if you panic and start freaking the beans. 

Don't wanna get smacked in the face? Then don't freak out.  You did what you did and you didn't do what you didn't do. No point in driving yourself and your friends insane now. Do your best on the day and prepare for each day. You've thirty days left. You made it through the orals, you'll survive this. :)

HPAT Results & Maths Pre!

It's Wednesday and thank God for that! Meaning for me, only one more day of school! (Yup, I've got Friday off!)

HPAT Score

I got 141. Yeah I'll admit I wasn't too pleased with that!  I was hoping for a minimum of 150. But I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles! I guess there's always next year! 

Maths Pre

Today was so intense! I had to do a paper one in the morning, one hour break, and then paper two. 

It sucked that it was so intense, but I'm really happy I did it.
I mean the layout of the leaving cert. is sort of the same; exam, break, exam. So I guess this was a good preparation for it. 

As for the exam itself, I'd like to say that I did well and it went great but I guess we won't know for sure until I get the result. IT's strange because whenever I think I did bad in an exam, I usually succeed in it and visa-verse. SO I'm not sure what that entail for this exam. I'm happy with it. I knew what I was doing for the majority of the question (well at least I think I knew what I was doing), only two part C's gave me a slight mind-fuck. 

In regard to paper two. WHAT THE BLOODY FRUIT was that! The first question of section A, could not do it at all! IT was suppose to be simple probability but I was just like - WHAT?

I also ended up spending like >15mins drawing a scatter plot diagram, having another 1 full question and a half of section B to be completed. 

At that point I didn't believe I would have enough time to complete paper two. Low and behold, my teacher announced that we had 20 minutes remaining, just as I started the last question.

Whether I was on an adrenaline rush and felt fantastic or whether I was just trying to put something down for the last five parts of the last question, I don't know. All I know is that I managed to finish the exam with five minutes remaining.I felt at the time, that the trigonometry questions were a breeze. 

I'll have a good laugh to myself if I get all the trigonometry questions wrong after thinking it was a breeze. 

Special thanks to our maths teacher, Nolan, who supplied the class with delicious lollipops as we approached the end of the exam. 

As for tonight, if I attempt to look at a maths book, I may just trow up. 

Brain is melting. Need to smooth it out with a little bit of 'The Big Band Theory', which is actually about to start. Gotta go!  

#Also received CAO letter today for my statement of course choices and stuff. But that's another post!

Somedays You Just Don't Care

You ever have one of those days where you're not feeling yourself ? So you just feel like telling the world to go to that special place!

Yeah today I really feel like screaming!

Not that something has gone down or anything. But it's just one of those days.

I guess I could just think about all the reasons why I don't want to repeat and all the shit in school I wont miss (but that's another post), I guess that all could inspire me to cop-on and study hardcore.

But to be honest I just don't see it happening tonight. Plus 'Terminator Salvation' is going to be on in half an hour and for some odd reason I haven't actually seen this one yet.

Unfortunately I'm not a machine, I need my day & night off, every now and again.
