Is the Christmas exams which follow.
All through the holidays they were looming over me. I have rubbish study habits, because I'm lucky enough to be ridiculously smart, which is horrifically unfair, really.
Basically, I recall facts from lectures and classes without going over notes. It's an incredibly handy skill to have, and it was definitely the only reason I got such a good Leaving, as I did literally no study.
However, this year it's different! These exams actually matter, and without passing them I won't make it into second year!
And, honestly, how much would it suck to have been part of the first Law class of Maynooth and then to end up *not* graduating with the people I started with?
That's also a defining factor in my decision to do Irish rather than French next year. Doing French would add another year onto my degree and mean that I wouldn't graduate with any of my class (since I'm the only French and Law student). Bummer!
I've six exams, two in each of my three subjects, as well as an oral exam in French. So I suppose that's really seven exams, but only six of them are listed on my exam permit, and saying six makes me feel better about them, especially since most of my friends only have four or five... DAMN my doing two languages!
Why am I writing a blog post instead of studying? I don't know, but here I am, typing away, at 25 past 11 at night... Who'd be studying now anyways?
So! Christmas Exams are a pain, no?
What subjects do/did/will you study in college?
Are/Were/Will you be a major/minor, double honours or single honours degree student and in what subjects?
Did you/Do you like college? (I love it, by the way, it's bloomin' awesome, I never want it to end!)
What are you gonna do after college? / What do you do now?

Awh man I wish I could be like you. See, for me to learn something I have to do it over and over. It sucks!
But I have faith in you! You'll get into second year. I know it! You're not the only one in that position. I worry the same. I do Computer Science, single honours degree, and I love it but it's pretty hard.But you'll get there, don't worry :)
