Okay, I’m not going to lie and pretend to sound studious- I went out drinking last night!
It can only be described as brilliant. There was so many leaving cert students out, I was gob-smacked. Today I am unregretful- something my friends find impossible to believe, it really was a well deserved break and I didn’t go over the top (unlike the grad mass two weeks previous). The music was great and the craic was forte. Us leaving cert students simply laughed it off as college friends slagged us about our current affliction.
This morning, I thankfully awoke with a clear head and away I went with another days study (or lack thereof). I remain optimistic and have chosen to completely forget about completed exams which clouded over me last week. This week will be long and daunting. From Monday morning I have two exams a day starting with maths paper 2 and Gaeilge paper 1. Things are getting easier in a way as we conform to the long and strenuous day.
We are almost over the line!

Keep it up, I feel like I’m in the same boat as you fine folk!

wow your making me feel so much better! i went out for a drink today and my friends and i were the only leaving certs out!! i thought we were the worst students in the world!!! thank god we are not alone!!
Nice to see you’re liking it! Yeah I think that most people seem to be finding it hard to cope and/or not caring which is the attitude here. I am wanting to do well but it’s not easy to sit down and do the work.
Best of luck to you anyway!

Alcohol is the way forward! 😛
Haha, it’s good to take a break… even if you’re doing nothing. When I went out Friday night I wouldn’t have been doing anything at home, even though the drink may have affected me or the lack of sleep but to be honest I don’t think it made a difference to my performance on Saturday.
