I woke up this morning with the same apprehensive feeling that’s been dogging me for the past 2 weeks – oh noes, the results are coming , I’m scared I’m scared I’m scared I’m scared. Then through the fog of tiredness I had the most wonderful realisation ever: the wait is actually over, I have [...]
I’ve been writing drafts of this post for days on end and keep meaning to post, but every time I come back to it my feelings have changed. One minute I’m calm, relaxed, and totally unfazed then the next minute I’m completely freaking out. It’s quite strange. Last night I discovered that I’d been thinking [...]
At 2.18 am this morning I got one of the most important emails of my life. I wasn’t awake for it-I was going to get up at 5am to start monitoring it but I figured results aren’t going to change, no matter how early I get them so I set no alarm. Throughout the Leaving [...]
Well everyone! I know it’s been ages for my last post. Apologies. School is just pretty insane at the moment…. Some mock papers also took much longer to get back than others and I wanted to blog about them all as a big, miserable mess. I hopped on over to the Mister X’s Journal to [...]
…I’m a Doctor! Today has been the much awaited CAO offers day. My lack of nerves in the run up to the actual Leaving Certificate Results was made up for, infinite times, last night as I gritted my teeth and crossed all of my fingers, hoping against hope I’d be offered Medicine today. I’m not [...]
It’s just a mere week until the Leaving Cert Results… Nervous Yet? Now, not to worry anyone but this day shall decide your future. Will you be getting your course of preference? Will you be repeating? Will you meet all your matriculation requirements? Will you be branded a success or a failure? In just 7 [...]
Today, June 22nd, is a day almost every Medicine hopeful had marked off in their calendars as The Most Important Day Ever. I say almost every Med-Head, because I rang a friend of mine this morning, about 3 hours after I’d looked at my own results, to see how he’d fared, and he didn’t even [...]
Tuesday, at 5pm, I officially finished my Leaving Cert. I walked out of those school gates, knowing I’d never ever have to return and I’ve got to say- it felt great. I apologise for the gap before posting- I was getting very drunk. Very very drunk. Chemistry This year’s Chemistry Paper was delightful. I was genuinely extremely pleased [...]
Hey there. I have absolutely no news I’m afraid but kind of in the mood for typing away so I’m afraid that means… BLOG! Just got thinking about school lately and what’s going to be like to actually leave…I love my school so much and I will miss it. It’s crazy, I’m after spending six [...]
6th year is a stressful time, and don’t let anyone tell you it’s not. Words which spring to mind when I’m to describe the experience include irksome, exasperating, aggravating, disquieting, trying, irritating, maddening, taxing, and, of course, tedious. Quite frankly, I’m sick of it. There are days where I’d just rather stay in bed. There [...]
