And the Results are Out!
Well after thousands of leaving cert students have been gnawing in anticipation at the bit in anticipation over getting their results all come to end this morning when the results were handed out. Some were ecstatic with their overly joyous outcome and I’m sure some slipped away quietly having not achieved what they wanted.
Although luckily everyone I know who patiently awaiting their results did exceptionally well. Some got way better results then they thought, especially Mark Walsh who got an astounding 510 points out of a maximum 600! Congrats Mark!
So I’ll expect to be invited into town this evening to share in the celebratory occasion - and rightly so, they should get absolutely ‘Gee-Eyed‘ (excuse the expression) as the stress in the run upto the exams as well as during them I’m sure is immense.
Unfortunately, I won’t be celebrating this year. I’ve to wait for another year before I can truly celebrate. Come September my epic journey to ‘The Leaving’ will begin - I’m not nervous, more eager. I kind of do and don’t want to leave school - I do want to get into college/work to start my life as I want, doing something I enjoy, I don’t want to leave so many friends (although remaining in contact and going for the obligatory pint in Doyles will suffice!), I like the childish, immature craic we have in class and I’ll really miss the teachers and tutors who have been great craic over the years - so come August 28th I’ll be savouring everything and anything!
Have a drink from me guys

Not worried what so ever, just anxious! Have everyone telling me my social life ends in September until June, and that I’ll be spending every waking hour studying and chewing my finger nails down to the knuckle!
But I’m very easy going and level headed so I’ll try to take it in my stride. The same getup was told to us on the approach to the Junior Cert and it wasn’t anything like what we were told!
Half the time I think it’s scare tactics to get us working and worried so we feel confident in the exams when we find they’re easier than we thought!
@Mark - congrats on getting into Trinity BTW!
