My social life and I no longer speak. Thank you leaving cert

Hey, I’m Orla, and I originate from Leaving-cert.net’s original Rejectsville. Found myself wandering down Bitter Boulevard for all of 10 minutes after getting the boot, before swiftly making my way to Acceptance Avenue and becoming a content commentor. However, big shout out to this year’s bloggers, they’ve done a great job. They’re pretty prolific and perfectly professional, to allude to some alliteration. Kudos and a half, guys.

So far the big LC has been pretty, well… anti-climatic. I’m waiting for the big adrenaline rush to swoop down and grab me, but so far, nothing. Time to give the big man in the sky a shout and ask him to deliver sufficient quantities of academic inspiration methinks. That, or I think it’s prime-time to up the daily Berocca/caffeine dose. Frantic late-night studying = <3

I suppose the thing that really bugs me about this Loser Club (LC, geddit? I’m too cool!), is the discernible lack of social contact outside of school hours. I seem to have acquired a acute adroitness in the area of being wont and almost accepting of not going out. Conversely, as my social life is dying a slow and utterly tortourous death, my peers seem to be venturing “on da beer” even more. Oh woe am I. It seems that town is a shining beacon of social activity every weekend, somewhat resembling a ‘Where’s Wally?’ scene. Only difference is, at least in a ‘Where’s Wally?’ scene, no matter how latent and seemingly obscure Wally’s hiding spot is, you know he’s there, hiding between some sausage stall and a man who looks curiously paedophile-esque. He’s somewhere.
I, on the other hand, am not there.

Oh well. I’ll stumble on, shackled by the metaphorical handcuffs of academia, enlightened only by my daily dose of Chemistry revision and musing over Patrick Kavanagh’s seeming pervertedness, waiting in anxious anticipation of the return of my sanity and personality come June 24th. Good luck to all you guys, hope to party with some of you next year in our crazed state as a result our new-found status as freshers.

Is mise, le meas,
Orla
