Hey, guys, my name is Ruth, and Iām from Ireland and have just finished fifth year in secondary school. This is my secondĀ āAbout Meā post because I accidentallyĀ closed my other one when it was finished, and now have to spend even more time typing the whole thing out again. But hey, what else do I have to be doing??
Anyway, as I was saying, my name is Ruth and Iām from Ireland. Actually, currently, itās the second week of the state exams, and watching all of the sixth years stressing about their exams (*insert evil laugh here and know that karmaās gonna get me next year*), has actually motivated me to start this blog.
I actually created a Study Instagram account in November of last year with my sister but ended up abandoning it. You see, we didnāt get home from school until between four and ten-past-four, and then we ate our dinner, and then, before we knew it, it was way too dark to get any good pictures of the notes that we wrote. Eventually, the account became more of a hinderanceĀ than a motivation.
But hey, itās summer now (*sadĀ āyayā in the distance*)! And what could be a better time to start studying properly and writing sexy notes than now, when the sun is shining itās bright out, and when I have so much more hours in the day now with there being no school (that I could be sleeping during)?! Anyway, Iāve already wasted two full weeks of these summer holidays and am currently five days behind in my Irish Summer Study Schedule (Like the alliteration? It doesnāt make it any more attractive, unfortunately, though).
And, I seriously need to study. The course I want to get into in college has quite high points, and I know right well just how fucked I am for it. I mean, Iām dreading my summer report coming in the post soon (or in a month, knowing my school), because I know the looks of disappointment Iāll get and the talk of:Ā āmaybe itās time to look at different college course optionsā.
But fuck that, fuck them, I am going to prove to my parents that I can actually get As in big exams. That I will study and I will get the points in my Leaving Cert to get that one course that I want (well, the way I look at it, I either get the course I want or go and do an acting course instead, which isnāt exactly a secure job). And that I will stay motivated. Sorry guys, Iām trying to keep the positive vibes, considering how bad of a start this blog has already gotten off to.
So, because this only my second post on this blog, Iām not gonna preach toĀ yous about what exactly this blog is gonna be. What kind of study account itās gonna be. Will it have more notes? More inspirational quotes? More reposts? More study tips and hacks? More stationery posts? More bullet journal posts? Who knows? I donāt.
What I do know, however, is that since the subjects that Iām studying for the LC are English, Irish, Maths, Physics, Biology, French and Home Economics (all higher level), that those are what the study notes that I will post will be of.
Well, if youāve actually decided to join me by following this blog, then welcome! (and thank you, seriously, I need all the followers I can get, youāre doing a great community serviceĀ by following and keeping me motivated). I promise that I will try and stay active and keep posting as much as I can. So, congratulationsĀ if you actually bothered to read this whole post (real dedication), and welcome to my studyblr blog featuring my extreme sarcasm and sailor vocab.Ā
Also, on a side note, I would also really love it if other Irish students going into sixth year next year followed me so I could follow them back too and go and face the awful adventure that is sixth year and the leaving cert!
