honestly didn't expect to be making a post today, but school was way less exhausting than i expected! of course, arriving home at 5 after being up since 6 on maaaaybe 4 hours sleep still doesn't feel the best, but i wasn't on the verge of tears at any point today so small victories right?

anyways, i realised that i've done absolute buttfuck nothing when it comes to science revision, so i sat at my kitchen counter and did the 2025 junior cert paper, correcting as i went along. some point soon, im gonna do the same thing with the 2024 paper so i can really narrow down what it is i need catching up on :) also, oh my GOD it's like my teachers want us all to die from stress over the mocks. like????? wtfdym i only have 12 english lessons left before the exam????? huh????????? quoi??????????????????

tomorrow im gonna go over that german quizlet i made cos ive like already forgotten all of it, and finally figure out some of that algebra bullshit ive been procrastinating on. i know it's a lot, but i have faith in myself that i'll manage, and i think that's what really counts? i hope lol idk

another evening spent doing my work at the kitchen counter, because i've realised that's where i default to when my workload increases. i started my comp sci group project today, and very nearly got forced into adding this total jackass in my year into the group, so close call lmaoo

in terms of what i got done, i finished a couple sprites for the comp sci thing, did my german homework (if i need to memorise another irregular verb conjugation my brain might pour clean out of my ears), revised some algebra problems, and FINALLY sat down and figured out how the fuck to balance chemical equations. chem is totally gonna be the death of me in the exam, its like my eyes just glaze over and refuse to process anything about it.

i will say, though, as much as i complain im really not as stressed about the mocks as i was the midterms? i can't tell if im just learning to manage stress better or if its just because im starting to revise earlier, but despite having done hours of study the past few days i don't feel nearly as burned out as i normally would be by now. ive been repeating the mantra "this is hard but i know i can do it" in my head over and over, and i think it's sorta keeping me going. well maybe that and the fact im finally eating something close to a balanced diet lol!! tomorrow since i get off early im gonna spend a lot of time going over history stuff that ive been putting off for goodness knows how long, and skim back over the irish i need to do :)

finally out of january, and today was so gorgeously bright i just had to go on a walk to soak up some of that sunshine <3 everybody think seasonal depression is made up until you feel actual heat from the sun for the first time in 3 months and it feels like u just popped a molly amirite

now!! in terms of study. im gonna keep it so honest. i kind of sucked the worst today. i wrote up the 3 areas of maths i was least confident in (simultaneous equations, laws of indices, and rearranging equations respectively) with the goal of dedicating an hour to each of them. ended up spending an hour on laws of indices, an hour and a half on simultaneous equations, crying and giving up because nothing was making sense. BUT i think i understand them just enough that if a question on it comes up on tuesday i can get most of the marks on it. probably. man i actually don't care, if i look at another question i might actually vomit

tomorrow ill go over rearranging equations + a sweeping once-over on every topic, and ideally by the time my actual exams come around i understand everything a little better than i do now

didn't end up going into school today, because my period decided to start itself at close to the worst possible time (hey man im trying to keep a positive outlook because it COULD have started the day of my actual mocks)

so, because of that, i only got an hours worth of german work done. ive also come to the realisation that if i want to get distinctions on my Big Three - english, history and graphics - ive gotta let german fall to the wayside a little bit, and i think im okay with that. i just gotta study up enough that i dont FAIL fail it and ill be fine

also, pro tip, listen to pop punk from the 90s-2000s while you study to feel like a teenage boy in a coming of age film; think blink 182, good charlotte, all time low, sugarcult, all american rejects, etc etc

though todays study was fueled by a truly excellent mini cheese omelette and a few cups of brazillian french-pressed coffee, im still quite annoyed with myself. i revised the 1916 easter rising, and that went fine, but then i spent two and a half hours trying to do ONE axonometric projection question and i just. couldn't. i feel like there's something fundemental to them that im just not getting, so tomorrow when my brain is less fried im gonna watch some videos breaking it down to the pissbaby basics. i know im getting quite in my own head about this, but like. i KNOW for a fact a question on them is coming up, my teacher straight up confirmed it, and ive got that paper in six days - this isn't the kind of thing i can just ignore. whatever forever, tomorrows a new day and i have faith in myself ill learn it in time. take it easy but by god take it everyone!!!

spent today studying maths and german - its so satisfying to actually feel myself understanding more and more of the language. also, financial maths is up there with statistics now as my favourite branches of maths, they just feel so wonderfully logical to me!!

im gonna spend tomorrow and monday kind of exclusively on maths, cos that mock is on tuesday and its the subject ive got the least confidence in right now. also, violently off topic, but i forgot just how nice it was to study listening to music off cd's as opposed to streaming services?? everyone get pierce the veil's selfish machines on cd NOW it goes so hard

i was meant to go and hang with my friend today, but its raining like hell where i am rn so that was a no-go lol. i did a handful of english past paper questions for novels (and realised i am SUCH a slow writer my god), and then i spent about an hour doing up quizlets for german vocab and practicing blog questions. working at the kitchen counter has made me weirdly productive the past couple days, even though my darling grandad can't seem to tell that when im hunched over a copybook with earphones in, im not exactly game for conversation. i love the dude but he couldn't take a hint if it bashed him upside the head kdksjfsjjd

tomorrow is my long day, so im not gonna put too many expectations on myself - just gonna do my homework and MAAAAAYBE some light maths revision lol
