Well, well, well. Where do I start? After three long years of preparation, finally it actually happened! You really never think the big exams are going to come around, but they do, and all too fast. I really thought the year flew, and one year is such a short amount of time to cram 11 subjects, and stupidly enough I left it till the last few months. I was worried, nervous for some subjects, pretty relaxed for others. But once I got in there, it was like any other exam. I really had no complaints with any of the papers apart from English Paper 1, which I felt was a bit abstract. It felt more like a CSPE paper, rather than English. Other than that, every exam went fine. I feel both teachers and the media hype up exams too much. And, yes, I know I haven't yet done the Leaving, but I'm just speaking from my personal experience. We hear so much about the negative effects of exams on students, but if we are not pushed to the limit we are never going to achieve our potential. I want to aim high in life, and if exams are what will get me to where I want to be, then so be it. I will try my very best and hope the results are what I deserve. All will be revealed on the second Wednesday of September...
Meanwhile, the Leaving Cert results are out this Wednesday. Good luck to everyone, and I hope you all get the points for the courses you want. I have great respect for anyone who has ever repeated the Leaving so that they can get the course they want. And FFS, ye're damn lucky! I wish I was off to Trinity in September, but no such luck!
