Yet Another Introduction – Hey It’s Grace

And then there were six.

Greetings and holiday wishes, my name is Grace and I appear to be the latest addition to this merry band. I hail from Cork (most importantly) and am, of course, a fellow leaving cert-er. Every time I hear that last phrase it reminds me of an introduction one might give at an AA meeting. The comparison is somewhat close. My hopes for this year are A: stay sane. 2: get my course of preference and D: not whine too much through the whole ordeal. The last is already moot and the first is questionable, as for 2 I’m hoping for Journalism and New Media in UL which was 405 last year. A realistic goal if ever I saw one.

I just finished my Christmas exams and think they went okay…it’s hard to tell cause I’m one of those people that consider an exam well done if I have answered every question. Although this is indeed vital for success, it often leads to over confidence…hmm. The happy results will be out in January of course, which, along with the pres in February, is looking all too close. The subjects I’m doing – if anyone wants to know – are economics, business studies, biology and French. All seem totally manageable individually but slam the four together along with the usual core subjects and that’s a lot of revising. As you all know.

Enough about school, who’s looking forward to CHRISTMAS? Christmas has never been so welcome as far as I’m concerned, I’ve already watched Home Alone (a Christmas must) and gotten started on the wrapping. Things are looking goood.

Til next time, slán leat.

  1. Oooh, welcome!

    Sanity? I’ve already lost it?
    And whining/ whinging? It’s pretty therapeutic y’know, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it (a lot) and all that.

  2. I bought my dad a watch for Christmas, but I liked it so much that I ended up keeping it for myself. I’m sure socks will do him fine? :/
