Last Minute Studying with Caoimhe Curran

You're listening to the Cyklix podcast, your number one source for junior cycle and leaving certain tips. We make exams easier. (upbeat music) - Hello, and welcome to the StudyClick podcast. I'm Luke, and today we're continuing on our series of interviews with leaving certain students past and present. I'm joined by my wonderful co-host, Nessa. Hello, Nessa. - Hi, Luke, great to be here. Thanks for having me. - And today we are lucky enough to be chatting with leaving since student, Quiver Curran. Some of you may recognize Quiver from her very successful tech top page, Quiver Docturne. I remember it used to be Quiver has Corona back in the good old days, but we've moved on from that. And Quiver, it's fantastic to have you. Good, it's fantastic. Everyone's so soon, like what's the exam week away? - Yeah, unfortunately. I suppose you're probably seconded by all of them right now, but what subjects are you doing, and what will you be sitting in a week's time? - So obviously art English math. And then I do German, economics, chemistry, physics, and applied math. So I did the extra subject. And then, yeah, that's it. - Which would be like your favorite, or like these favorite, like what ones are you dreading, which ones are kind of grand? - Dreading English, I think partly because it's the first one. - Yeah, partly because it's just so much writing. Like I'm not even that worried about the result of the exam. It's just like having to physically sit there and do it is just like exhausting. So not looking forward to doing that. But the ones I do like, I like physics. It's probably my favorite. But yeah, hate English. Very different kind of spectrums there, like. So different, it's crazy, like the amount of different areas of knowledge you have to cover in like two weeks it's just like. - Yeah, a bit optimistic, I don't know. - You'd be good to get English out of the way, though, early, that's like the one kind of good thing about it. And so the next question is gonna ask Cleva's like, so basically at the time recording, we're a week out. And so how have you like, at this stage, how have you divided up your time with your studying, like one of your priorities been? It's kind of from the perspective of other students who are probably looking for tips. - Well, I am personally very anti-study plan. Like I don't like study plans at all. And because I just can't stick to them, and then I'll like get stressed that like, I didn't do everything that I needed to do, you know. And so my study plan is kind of just like, what I bring with me to the library, 'cause I study at the library. And so I just like bring what I'm gonna study that day, just decide in the morning, bring it with me and do that. But I don't really have like a strict kind of way that I break the day up. I kind of just like do what I'm feeling like doing that day, or then what I like have to do, 'cause I procrastinate it for like a week. So yeah, like I don't really kind of break it up in a certain way. - That's interesting. This is why I love the Soikling's podcast, 'cause like when myself and Eber do it, like in every single one, like, you have to have a study plan. So it's just like, you know, we need to like, I'm just very anti-study plan. Sorry, start offends anyone. - No, we're representing the student's spectrum. Like that's amazing. - Yeah, it's not kind of that kind of rigid study, like 40 minutes on, 20 minutes off kind of thing. It isn't gonna suit everybody. Obviously it can be very, very rewarding for some people and they can have really good results from it, but it isn't gonna suit absolutely everybody. So that idea of like kind of waking up and deciding, that's an interesting one. Like then, you know, I think if that was me, I think I would just fall into a pace of awake up and I decide to study my favorite subject every day, because it's the only one I can tolerate. - Yeah, how do you kind of like, yeah, how do you like force yourself out of that mindset to not have to study the same thing every day just because you find it easier? - I think like it helps that I do like, study at the library and not at my house, because I don't then have like all of my books with me. So I can't just be like, oh, but I'll do this one, you know, like even though I said I do this, I'll do this instead. And like if I just decide to leave something at home, I can't do it that day, you know? So like I have to do other things. And then I think like I do actually like to always do something at the start of the day that I enjoy, or maybe not enjoy studying, but like don't hate studying as much as other things. So like I'll usually start with maths or something 'cause I like studying that and then I'll kind of be more like, oh, okay, I guess I'll do this after, you know? - Yeah, I guess it's very realistic. And like have you focus most of your attention on a specific subject at this point? Like is it the thing that you're working backwards or starting with something later on and moving closer? Is there a particular kind of, now that it's gotten closer to the exams and there is just a week left? I think there's a week left, but there's like several weeks until certain exams, which is, you know, people kind of forget that you're still allowed to study after leaving so it starts, there's still it's time to do things like that. So what have you focused more on your attention on as of right now? - The last few days I have focused more on English and maths, obviously 'cause they're the first like three days and then there's the weekend. And then my only other thing that week is Irish and I think German at the end of the week. So like I don't have a very heavy week at the start. So I've kind of been able to focus more on English and maths and then I go to a school so I don't have to put in as much time into Irish, thankfully. So yeah, I'd say mostly right now, English and maths before like this week, I kind of still divided it up as evenly as possible and I didn't really focus on certain things. - And when you say you're studying now, do you have like a special study technique? Like what do you say you're studying? Like are you just reading over notes? Are you a flash car? Flash car is kind of girl or? - I used to be a flash car, it's kind of girl, but I've kind of given that up and it spent a lot of time riding them in fifth year and then just don't use them now. So the voice, I know it's such a wastey, but I like instead of studying cards, I like to do kind of like cheat sheets or kind of little like a page with like the whole chapter kind of like squished in it. And all my friends say it stresses them out because there's like so much stuff on one page, but I kind of calms me a bit. Like I like to have everything on the one page and then it's just like all I have to learn is like these 10 pages, you know? I was gonna say about your study space, you're saying that you study in the library. Do you find that it would be difficult for you to study at home rather than in the library? Do you find it easier to get out of the house and kind of a lot of people don't like studying in the room that they sleep in and spend their time and stuff like that? - Yeah, I don't like to study in my bedroom. Like I'm here now at my desk, but I don't like to study here, especially in the summer now because like this is such just like a personal thing but it gets, it's not like bright in here because I'm not like the side of the house and the sun doesn't come in and it gets a bit dark. I'm like K's like, and so I don't like to study in here during the summer. So I will sometimes study in my kitchen 'cause my dad has a desk in there. So I'll study in there sometimes, but I prefer to get out of the house and go to the library. And if even just to kind of like be around other people studying so I'm like pressure to actually do work because like it's a bit awkward if I'm not doing any work at everyone else's. So yeah, a library or like that kind of environment whether it's after school study or a library can be really motivating, I guess. And when you go to college, it's kind of more of a lifestyle of it's rare that you study in your own house. It could be 'cause most Irish college houses like there do have deaths or walls. But like a lot of people prefer to go to the library to do this study. Yeah, it does kind of put you in that mindset. And when you're surrounded by like a collective group stress, you feel a little bit like, you know, you don't feel like you're all on your own. Yeah, I think we're in this together, you know. Why exactly? It's a sense of community in the stress. Yeah. Yeah, especially when I like see someone beside me studying like the same thing I'm studying. And I'm like, oh, you know, you know, the struggle of life. Yeah. Yeah, take a look, take a look, yeah. Yeah, that's one of the best things about the living sort actually is that like, you're sitting in the exact same exam as like what, four to the other thousand people. And then you come on to like study, start something or you want to take talk or Instagram and you're just seeing, oh guys, what did you think of paper one like it actually just, it just feels like, oh, I have all these people I'm sharing this experience with. It's kind of, it's, it's hell. Obviously because the living sort is like just the most intense we like, period of your life like, but it's like, when you look back at it, it's like that was actually a lot of crack. And I mean, I'm not really at that stage yet. We're thinking it's a lot of thought. Hopefully, you'll definitely get there. It's the positive. It's all about drawing the positive. What would you say we were saying about like that kind of stressful atmosphere in the in the classroom, in the library and stuff like that? How would you manage stress as the exam day closer and how has that changed from how you manage stress at the start of the year? I think like I know everyone like always says, like take breaks and stuff. But I think like obviously taking breaks is important. But kind of at this point, like, the most stress relieving thing I think is to like get things done. I'm like, not be able to be studying all the time, but just like being more productive studying, if that makes sense. Like, you know, I used to like go to the library for ages and be like, oh, well, I did this many hours of study. But now I can be like, oh, I got this stuff done. You know, like even if I only studied for like three hours in a day, if I got a lot done, I'm like, that's fine. And I feel more okay taking breaks. Like I know a lot of people kind of say they're like, oh, I'm going to like any time I'm not studying. I feel really guilty. I'm like, so true. Like if I go home to the library and like, there are other people still there, I'm like, why are you still studying? Like, I'm not like, I'm not there still, you know? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they can talk to that when it comes to like, like what we're saying about everyone doing the same, everyone doing the same exam. It kind of comes back kind of thing. Should everyone be doing the same amount of studies? You know, like why are we doing a lot of the exact same like plans and stuff like that? But yeah, I know it can be. Yeah, so I think like, yeah, I think like thinking of it more as like what you do instead of like how much time you spend doing it kind of helps me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it kind of lets me enjoy my breaks more because like there's no point in taking a break if you're just like worried the whole time during it, you know? Yeah, that's not true. That makes sense in that like when people talk about stress and how to relieve stress, they're like the feeling of stress comes from not being prepared. So like if you're actually getting the work done, you're just feeling more prepared and you're helping towards that. So yeah, I guess that does make a lot of sense, even though like kind of like the template answer is just like, oh, I go for a run or I go for a job, really clears the head. Like that definitely helps. That's probably like what works for me. Like if you actually, if it got to a point where we were like, oh, I actually do physically need to take a break because like my brain is not registering anything. Like, is there any like hobby set? You kind of feel help to kind of take your head out of the leaving start that you feel you still like to do, even at this hectic time? I don't really know, I think I've been boring. At this point to be honest, like I don't do that much. Like like running and stuff, like I don't run. I hate running. But I cycle to the library and back every day. And so that kind of like is nice. Like right before studying and right after studying it's kind of like a bit about like kind of, you know, get some air and then I usually like play with my dog for like 20 minutes when I get home. I'm just like, yeah, just like relax of it. So yeah, like I don't do that much else to be honest like, I feel like my whole life is just like leaving first. And do you think that's something that you're kind of like, like if you could get, if you could, would that be something that you look back and think I wish kind of, I did a bit more outside of just the meeting. So like right now you have a week to go. So at this point, I mean, I think everyone's life is pretty much consumed by that even start when they're in the even start and there's one week and then you're one week out. But do you wish that you kind of, you know, took a step back from it more? Do you think that you've met the right balance of leaving certain lives? Um, I think open to like this week or like last week, I had a fine balance. Like when school was still on and everything. Um, I think that helped. Like I kept going to school. I know some people like stop going. And like I had a while where I would kind of like take a day off. Um, or like leave early sometimes and study. But yeah, I think kind of staying in school, like somewhat helped to like just even just the social aspect because like some classes like we weren't doing much because we'd finished the course. Um, but even just like seeing everyone was nice. Yeah, yeah, I agree. I'd be kind of in the same board. I think that like when you go to school, again, that sense of like camaraderie and kind of having a better idea of what people are are also getting up to. And also the teachers are there to be asked. And I find that when you go into school, to ask questions, you know, when you go into school, you know, it's often smaller classes, not many people do go to school. So that those scheduled classes that you have, those teachers are sitting there for 40 minutes. And you have pretty much 40 minutes where there might be two or three in the classroom. And you can, uh, it's pretty much like getting free one-on-one grinds in a way. Yeah, don't ask me like. So my teachers did just like crash courses of a subject. And I'm like, we would just ask them, or like tell them what we want them to go through. And they just go through it. I'm like, that was so good, you know? Yeah, yeah, I can imagine. How have you, this is a random question you just thought of. But I just, the last two weeks of school, like still kind of stuck with me, because it's just like, there's something about that time where like you're all with all your classmates and you're like, this is actually the last time we're all going to be together. Like, has it been nice? Or like, have you enjoyed this kind of? And I really enjoyed it. Like, we had a lot going on. Like, in our last week, we kind of had something planned every day. Like, we had a crazy hair day, and then we had like a swim before school. And like anything but a school by day. And like, that was so nice to just like have something other than like, oh, study to look forward to, you know? It was like, oh tomorrow, we got to do this and then go home and study. But like, then the next day, there's this. And that's so nice. So I thought that was so nice. But then it was also like, everything was like, oh, this is our last of this and like last of that. And so it kind of started to lose all meaning that like we think. Because it was like last one day, last Wednesday, or last Friday, but like, we kept coming back to do more things. But like, when is the actual end? Yeah, I'm like, then I'm not sure if you have to sit. Does everyone, I don't, does everybody need to sit? They're even sitting in their uniform. No, some of the skills do, I think, which is pretty weird. But you know, you're like, goodbye school forever. And then like, you're showing up a week later, the most stressed you're ever being here entire life to sit the actual thing. But yeah, it definitely sounds like you've had like a decent end to the leaving start year with that kind of stuff. I mean, like, I imagine when you miss second year school at all, there's a kind of something that you're ready to close the chapter on. I don't know. I feel like you kind of don't really know until like, you're gone. You start something else. Like, because like, obviously, I haven't started college and won't be starting for like two months. So it's like, you know, like, I don't really know what it's going to be like, not to be going to school anymore. Because like, obviously, I'm not going to school now, but I'm still like, doing the same school stuff. So like, it kind of feels the same. Like, I think there's some things about it I'll miss, and there's other things that I'm kind of like ready to leave, you know? Yeah. And what is all this kind of work? And like, studying, going towards, like, is there a particular college course that you have in mind that you're hoping to get into and hoping to get the points for? And I want to do science in UCD, just like general science, because I'm most indecisive person ever. I'm like, can't decide. And so you can like, do common entry. I'm like, do all three sciences and then choose in second year. So that's what I'm hoping to do. Yeah, keep it very broad. Yeah. Because I do science subjects. So I want to keep them going. Had you kind of an idea that you would do that for the last while, like, you know, when did you kind of make the decision, wasn't it? Not very long ago. I don't even know if it's on my CAO right now, actually. Like, I haven't changed that in months. So like, I'm going to need to get on that. But at the start of the year, I want to do law, which is like a very different direction. And like, I want you to go away and everything to go and like, see about doing law courses there. But then kind of halfway through the year, I was just like, I don't want to do that. I like maths and I like science. I like, I want to do that instead. I'm like, I mean, in my side, a bit crazy. But I was like, I don't want to go every day without doing any maths. Like, I love some maths. I think you're doing me. Well, I'm really not into minority, but definitely. I can't imagine-- you're right. I do think you're a bit crazy. I can't imagine that myself. Can't relate. Yeah, can't relate. But good for you. Yeah, and then I, like, again, like I said, I was indecisive. So I want to kind of commit to something specific. And be like, I'm going to do this exact thing. And then I found the UCD one where they have the common entry. So it was like, Fab, that's for me. Yeah. Yeah, I kind of had the exact opposite experience. That's when I was in secondary school. I remember I was like, oh, a bit like you. I was like, I can tell people what I was doing. I was like, is that even on my CEO right now? I just remember feeling less. But I remember I kind of wanted to do something really science-y, like I had science or something like that. And then like literally, I was like, actually, never mind. I'm going to do law instead. So yeah, it's weird how you can change your mind. And like, a lot of people are like, you know, they're like, oh, I really can't pick between like two science courses in two different colleges. And I'm kind of like, I can't pick between whether I want to study law or whether I want to be a doctor. And I never want to be a doctor. For example, I couldn't be a doctor. I don't think that would be possible. But yeah, you know, it's kind of, it's kind of different. It's a different way of being in decisive in your course when it's not just about the course. Specifically, it's about the career that comes after it. Did you find that was like a big thing when you're choosing between? Yeah, I think so, especially because they were such different things. Like whenever I would talk to people about like courses in general, they were always like, oh, well, you know, it doesn't really matter. Like you can switch things or you can just like do the undergrad and then do something else after and end up in the same place. But because like science and law are like so different, I was like, well, I kind of have to like make the decision now. Or it would take like a lot longer to go back and do it again. So I think like it was, well, I don't know. Like maybe it's harder when they're really similar. But like I thought it was hard kind of like, because you're not just picking like, oh, what am I going to do next year? It's like, what am I going to do for the rest of my life? I'm like, that's really scary. Yeah, you're right. There's no kind of like, you know, people say there's a factor into everything, but I really don't know how you'll backdoor your way into law if you've done general science. I think you have to go back around to the front door again. And that would be that would be a different one to navigate. But yeah, so you're kind of settled on that choice now. And you're happy with that. Is it motivating for you to know what course you want? Do you find that like a motivation you're studying? You know that you have a purpose for this specific course. Or do you think that's helped a motivation? Or is it kind of just much of a much in the state? Like the way you want to do well or regardless of the course you decide to. I think like a while ago, like it helped a lot is kind of like, you know, you know what you're working towards. But at this point, it's kind of like, it's just you have to do the leaving sir. I'm like, get it done. I'm like, it doesn't even matter at this. Well, obviously it matters. But like sometimes you kind of get to a point and you're like, I don't even care. I just want it to be over. So I can 100 cents you have. That makes some clear sense. Like at first it's nice to have like something to point you in the right direction. But then as you get closer, it's like literally a bloodbath. And there you're like, I don't even, yeah, I just, I just want to make it to the day that it's over. Yeah, it's like I'm not even thinking about like two months ahead. I'm thinking about like surviving the next month. I your exams really drawn out over the space. You think so. They're pretty spaced out. I actually, I like the timetable that I have anyways. Because I think my longest gap is like four days. So I don't have too long where I'm just like doing nothing, like stewing, you know, or I do go from the first day to the last day, because I do applied maths. And it's the last exam. So like, that's not for doing that. That's not a punishment to do in the live maps. That's that that is. Yeah, it's not ideal. But you know, I'm glad that I don't have everything like switched because for the mocks, we don't do our mocks in like the same timetable as the leaving shirt. So I had four exams in two days, and then 10 days gap, and then seven exams in four days. And it was like hellish, like I hated it. Like I was so exhausted on the days I had exams. And then I just got so like bored and like sick of studying for 10 days. Like I was just like going stir crazy, just like sitting in the library all day. Yeah, that's such a shame. Because like the master's supposed to be like reflective of how you sit the actual leaving shirt, but that's not reflective of all. Yeah, it's a bit weird for kind of like then I was a lot more kind of like accepting of my like 20 days long leaving shirt because it was spread out. I don't really care that if that long anymore, I just don't want to have them all together. So like good luck to everyone who has them all on the first week, like honestly. Yeah, I suppose some people would be delighted with that. You know, I know a lot of them. Yeah, they get really smoke about it. Yeah, they finish on like the 15th or something, a lot of people. I don't know what it sounds like that day, but I think I only have done English Irish maths by then, that's it. Yeah, I remember there was the other, there was friends of mine, like I think a week after is French in history day, and like a bunch of my friends were just finished that day. And I was just like, just can't even imagine it. Like I think I had a full week then before my last two, which is not only to talk about like having a kind of a nice gap and then not being left astute for very long, but it actually sounds pretty nice, because I probably did too, and there's a little bit when that was me. Well, in question, I was gonna ask a cheese. Do you like have like slightly older people in your life who are giving you advice down? They're like, oh, the leaving service is just like this. So you're gonna feel like this, and it's kind of hard to like take in because you haven't actually done this, or like do you have older siblings? Yeah, I have an older sister, and she was in one of the coveners. She did her leaving certain 2021. So like, it's kind of like very different. Actually, I think she knows different children trying to give me any like sage advice, you know. But I think, especially the last like few weeks of school, a lot of the teachers started being like, trying to give advice and all. And yeah, it was like you said, very like what we haven't done it. So I don't know, like, I don't know if this is true. It's so hard to take in, yeah. I still can't help doing it. Like I still tell every leaving service student I see, but like, oh, it's so anticlimatic when you finish the last, like, it doesn't mean anything you actually do. We've probably done that like four times on this podcast as well. I'm like, it feels like it's over. Like, such hypocrites. But no, I know like I have a younger sister, right? The minute you adapt to torture. And of all the tips and like advice you've heard, or maybe you've come up with some of yourselves, what is a last minute tip that you will give to your fellow leaving teachers and that you intend to follow for the next couple of weeks until until it's finally over? What is something that you're kind of? I don't know. A lot of pressure for like one piece of advice. Maybe not one. It gives us a few eyes, me honest. I just wanted to narrow it down for you. I don't know. I think like when it comes to like study methods, I think at this point, the most productive thing for me anyways is just to do exam papers and exam questions because like you could learn the entire course, like off by heart from your book. But like if you don't know what they're looking for in the questions, you're not going to do as well as you could. Because like you do start kind of seeing like trends in stuff where like for this type of question, they always ask this or like for this experiment. These are the two things that they always ask you. And sometimes there's like weird ways that you have to phrase things. And like you wouldn't know that unless you look at the papers on the market schemes. So I think like at this point, I'm focusing more on just doing exam papers. And like as you get closer doing like full papers of things, instead of just doing like questions here and there, like get used to kind of sitting the whole paper at once. Yeah, I suppose another thing would probably be getting used to like the timing of the exam as well, but that'd be something that you're would be focused on knowing what, how did you go about that with that? Would you've learned from teachers or like kind of just timing yourself and see and what you can dedicate timing to your, how did you go about doing that? Yeah, the teachers tried to help a lot, I think, like they would kind of break it down for you if you asked especially things like English. And like most of my subjects don't have a lot of writing, but I can assume like with other subjects with a lot of writing, they would kind of break it down. Like I wouldn't be under that much time pressure in a lot of mine because they're long, like kind of physics and chemistry at both three hours. And especially we have a lot of options, you don't have to answer like that many questions in three hours. So there is in a lot of time pressure. But even then like I think it's just good to know like how much time you have unlike to kind of actually do it because like you can kind of break it down, I'm going to calculate it and be like, oh, I have 22 minutes to do this question, but if you don't actually practice doing them, like 22 minutes is just like a number, you know? Like when you're doing it like time disappears, like it goes so weird. So like you don't know how long that's actually going to feel like. Yeah, definitely timing yourself like it's literally like a competition or something is probably best. I'm stopping after, if you are doing the likes of that full paper, I think like you probably do yourself, but like is in right for that 22 minutes for that one question. And then after you have that 22 minutes up, move on, like move on to the next question, I kind of get used to that, get used to the like kind of accepting that it's okay that you're not perfecting that question just now so that you get the rest of the paper finished. Yeah, and how easy is it to do all of those exam papers and marketing schemes on study click, so I just realized that I haven't done it. And natural love, we got what we were even doing. This is a study click podcast. And very, very impressive. Very smooth, Nessa. I'm true. Thank you very, very much. You've moved so far past about like, I forgot what we're doing. And we're kind of like coming to the end, but like I was going to say, a lot of people listening to this now, well, I'd say I imagine that our like six years who are like, oh, okay, someone else who's like full blown paddock zone with me, see what they're doing. But we also like, but it could be called study places like for for a second, third, fourth, and fifth years. For in case there's any first years listening, like, do you have any piece of advice that you would give to your first yourself? Um, I don't know. Like, I think study wise, I think like don't stress about the junior sir, like I know everyone says that. I'm like, you're not really going to listen to it if you're doing the junior sir, but I think maybe also like study wise, start doing exam papers. And like I know, when I did the mocks and third, you decided to do the actual junior sir, but I did the mocks. And we were all just like, what is this? Like I've never seen an exam question in my life. And now I have to do a whole paper. And so I think like doing that can be helpful. And then just like, I don't know, like school wise, just like don't stress about it. And especially picking subjects. I know they make a big deal out of picking subjects for fifth year. And just like, it's not that big a deal. And you can change a lot of the time they don't tell you that, but you can switch. Like people in my year switch, like going into sixth year, and they're fine. So yeah, like there's a lot of pressure put on that that doesn't need to be. Yeah, they're not going to make you sit sitting exactly doing subject for two years, like you really don't want to do or have any, like, you know, if you want to take a career change afterwards, they're not going to make you do history if you've decided now that you'd rather do a science subject. And also like, yeah, you always hear those horror stories of people. Not horror stories, I'm sure some of them work out well. I'll be able to like decide like three weeks before the exam that they're going to do, like French instead for one and everything like that. And so yeah, there are those people they exist. Yeah, I know, I know, I mean, I don't know how they do it. I would be so, I can't even, I can't even fathom the stress of like, you know, people who decide to drop on the day from higher to order never something. That blows my mind. That's so common. I like, and they might not have ever seen an order never paid for before, wouldn't understand the timing of it, wouldn't understand what sections are. That would freak me out so much. That's all for the day. I actually asked that question about like the first year. And then they were like, well, I didn't sit the juniors there because a global pandemic happened. So that's the advice of a good player first yourself. And so the very last kind of note that we're going to end it on is just like kind of on the positive one, do you have any summer plans for what are you doing after the leaving when it's all over? Well, of course, I've got my sixth year holiday and very excited. I'm not going to e-offs like like all of Dublin. It was so expensive. Like I looked at the flights like once and they were ridiculous prices like astronomical, don't even remember. So that was off. So I'm going to Portugal instead. Very excited for that. Nice. And so I think that's got like three days after I finished before that. So I know a lot of people are always like, what are you going to do right after your last exam? Like probably sleep to be honest. Like go home, sleep for like two days, park, and then leave. And then after that, I don't really have any plans. I think results are really early this year, like 25th of August. I think they said. Yeah, they are. So not that much time to kill between them. So I'll figure something out. Oh, that's so good. That's so nice that you're doing a sixth year holiday. I've never heard of that place as a destination. Like it was always like Santa Panza or like, so cheap anyway. I think it was last year or the year before. People started going to EOS and like in Greece. And then it got so expensive because it became such a like destination and so now like a lot of people are still going there and but people who didn't get in as early like me and everything was really expensive. So I'm not going to go this. It's going to be amazing. Yeah, no, it's going to be much cheaper. Like you'll have your money left over anywhere with the song, you know, like exactly, exactly. And so Crepa, that's kind of the end of our questions. Thank you so much for coming on to the podcast. I'm trying to look forward to our recording. Like here just, yeah, I hope you enjoyed it. Like I feel so wide because I'm being asked for advice and everything, you know. Well, I like I think I think it was just so interesting because you had offered up a totally different perspective to what like myself and Eimer usually talk about where like totally different studies. So I think like, yeah, it was it was that would be so helpful to I know to some of the other students who don't really fit the same like template that like, so they could quite actually talk about a lot. So yeah, that was really great. So and like, I can't say enough like a week out from the leaving side and you were like, yeah, let's do it. Why not? I've all my study done. So thank you so much for finding the time to do this. And I'm fine. You're so welcome. And so I'll just round off the podcast by saying thanks everyone for listening.
