They’re over and done with! Out of the way. Now comes the bit where I deny how badly I’ve done. But of course, that can wait until Sunday. First we must go out and celebrate! Right? Isn’t that what we do here in Ireland. Any excuse for a night out. So yeah, the past few [...]

Random Day
“18th February – Note to self pay for leaving cert!” Today has been quite random, woke up at nine to go to town. I said screw it, too early. The mocks are finally over and have been alright. But really what it what has it been all for, it had done nothing but cause anxiety [...]
What I think of the leaving cert. Prepare for a rant.
BULLSHIT. Basically, that sums it up methinks. I can’t get over the fact that all these people who have went through the leaving cert and now are making up the decisions that we should continue this state exam because its absolutely amazing, are actually so doused in stupidity for making us continue with this. Its [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, charge your engines.
Ladies and Gentlemen, charge your engines. Finally the weekend has come. Where we all try put as much distance between us and the School. Where we light the fire, put our legs up and read a good book. Which of course means, hit the town, go for a few pints and enjoy a tasty burger [...]
Leaving cert stress
Depression mode initiated, code blue alert. Week one of the pre-exams is finally out the window and it has been a demoralizing task. I don’t get how ‘mock’ exams can get me so worked up… They mean nothing, but I want to ‘win’, I am a competitor. I am a student of fluid manoeuvres, patiently [...]

I swear that soft shiny paper keeps me amused for a whole one third of the exam time.. nattering, more pages.. god what a waste of [...]
