Yes, that is Shakespeare you just read and yes I do actually quite like him. Strange as that may seem. Well this is finally it. The big LEAVING CERT. I dont know about anyone else but i have yet to feel the panicky, sick, nervous feeling that I’ve heard so much about….. I’m really hoping its going to kick in soon because otherwise I will remain as calm as a daisy for the rest of the year, and I’ll only have myself to blame at the end of the day. I got quite a shock when I signed into my email and discovered I was joining the 2010/2011 bloggers! I then logged on saw there was no blogs and decided to wait a week or so before everyone settles in. I then logged on the next day to discover there was 7 blogs! After that little shock I couldnt summon the courage to add to the pile so instead I spent a sleepless night thinking about what I would write. Which is pretty much the opposite of what I’m writing now.
Before I start a long rambling session about nothing in particular I better introduce myself! My name is Amy. 17 years old and not turning 18 until March. I’ll either be celebrating mock results or drowning my sorrows in alcohol, either way I’m looking forward to it. So anyway back to more relevant information, subjects I’m doing:
- Irish
- English
- Maths
- French
- History
- Biology
- Ag science
- LCVP
All honours for now and hopefully for the rest of the year. Basically, what I want is for this time next year to be studying journalism in London. Why not Ireland you may ask? Well I’ve known since I was about 14 that I had no interest in staying in Ireland for the rest of my life. Don’t get me wrong I love the place, but I get distinct feeling of pain and fear when I think of not being able to leave . So hopefully it will be off to England I go and after that who knows. Just finished my third day of school and am very happy to report that there has been no “YOU HAVE TO WORK THE HARDEST IN MY SUBJECT ” talk from any of the teachers. I do hate when the teachers compete for our attention. So far I think there hasnt been too much pressure and it’s all just a matter of sorting out all projects, portfolios etc. before the big Christmas rush therfore having less worries coming up to the mocks. I’m taking the year with a pinch of salt…… and perhaps a shot of tequila to. After all we have to do it some time we might as well get it done in the lovely year of 2011. Because in fairness if the world does end in 2012 dont you want to be able to say you sat your leaving cert?!
Byebye for now 🙂
ooh first to commentXDD
hi ~
i get the same ‘I had no interest in staying in Ireland for the rest of my life.’ feeling as you~ not that i dont like it , i just dont want to stay here~
and lucky you, my teachers had already told us a lot about the exams and the whole “reality check” talk, and on the first day back, my accounting announced we’re gonna have a test on monday( on the first day back of school!!!! no pressure? yea right! )
have a great year and hopefully you can enjoy your tequila by the end of june 2011!!! we all should have tequilla!!
Cheers!
Shakespeare! And leaving Ireland! Two of my most prominent interests. Hi, I’m Naoise, I also blog here (o rly?), why on earth am I on the internet when I should be getting ready for school, etc.
Why are any of us on the internet! I’d say my points would go up by about 50 if i wasn’t able to go online…
Wahey, someone else does Ag Science! Nice blog btw 🙂
