Anybody else getting nervous about results??

GretchenWieners

Just under 4weeks now!! I only finished 4weeks ago! Time is flying!! I'm worrying a good bit, mainly because if one or two subjects don't go my way I'm basically screwed!

exiot

Yeah I was thinking about the results a few days ago when trying to sleep. I get phases of being nervous maybe once a week, but on the otherside Im looking forward to getting my results and knowing Im going to college!

eamoss

I dont like waiting for stuff. I wanted my results straight after I finished my Construction Studies exam(my last exam). But I also messed up in two of my exams just want to get them back to how I did.

I bet I wont be able 2 sleep that night. I will be up at the School gates at 5am or something waiting for them to open!

abercrombie

nah i don't usually get nervous. Though i probably will be once i have the envelope in my hand!

GretchenWieners

yeah i'm trying to figure out when the best time to go in and get my results would be, the less of a crowd the better, just in case I'm not happy with my results and I'm surrounded by people who I don't like who are happy with their results and I get jealous and have a freak attack!

smemon

i'm not going in, can't stand all the hype and attention seekers :rolleyes:

i'll sleep in 'til 12 on wednesday and then flick on the laptop to get my results on-line.

don't be silly, why would you be nervous? you can't change anything now.

NADA

I am not going to get the results. I don't need to know what I got in the exams. I just need to get offered my first choice the monday morning afterwards! You get the ofer whether you know what results you got or not. I am pretty confident of my place anyway just don't want to kinx it though. anyway. Remember Education is Overrated

i'm not nervous because i know that i didn't do that great so i know what to expect! however if on the day i get on really well, you'll all be hearing about it

porn_star

well i can't sleep
and I'm having constant dreams about it..
I wouldn't be like this usually
only I repeated
and things just didn't go to plan

There really is no point worrying about things you cannot change.

In the event that you do not do as well as you wished/hoped/wanted to, there are ALWAYS other ways of getting the qualification you would like.

There is no life rule says you have to go straight into a degree, or even straight to third level, or even to third level at all. There are many things out there in the world you can do which all go to build a better person, which in the end of the day is a lot more worthwhile than a silly piece of paper. Remember there is always the option of being a mature student after you've seen a bit of the world, or worked, or done other things.

Enjoy your holidays, and whatever your results are like, enjoy your life.

im not nervous. i think about them everyday in passing.. nothin too serious like, just theyre on my mind.
i want to get them, cos not until i leave those gates with exam results in hand will i feel im properly finished school..

im pretty confident i got the points i need, and i just hope i didnt make too much of a balls of the 1 exam i actually need a decent grade in..


but sure, theres nothin we can do about it, so.. no, im not nervous. nerves are for things your about to do.. things you can influence

Smurphette

I'm getting nervous now as time goes on. I had a dream the other night I got 402 points, and my course was 403! lol!

I mean...logically I know I should be ok...but there's always doubt. What if this subject went very badly, what if that subject went awfully.

i just wish I had them now so i could just deal with their consequences, whatever they are.

shane0312

I keep going over the individual subjects, and aswell as that working out the different combinations of results that I need to get my points. Unfortunately theres not a lot of combinations cause I want to do medicine, so it kind of makes it worse. Well all we can do is wait......easier said than done.

Faerie

I'm getting very nervous now. I know I didn't do as well as I hoped I would so I'd rather just never know. Also, everyone is expecting me to do really well so I don't know how I'll handle people's reactions....

ThrownAway

I'm not nervous, I'm grand about the whole thing. I admit though that I did have a panic attack one night trying to go to sleep.

My mom's friends and my nosey relations are ringing up every now and again wanting to know when I'm getting my results so they can gossip away. Like **** they'll find out...it's none of their bloody business. I'm not even telling my parents because their the one's who'll end up telling them. :mad:

grimloch

I'm not at all nervous, I have a pretty rough idea of what I got so I fail to see what being nervous would achieve.

Raphael

I'm not that nervous, don;t see the point. Exams are finished, nothing I can do. This is the same reason I get annoyed with people saying "Oh, you're getting your results today. Good Luck!"

I'd be half tempted to not bother going on, or go for the results but not open them till i go home, but I'd say my principal would flip. He needs my results to put in the papers and make the school look good.

Right now, however, I'm more concerned with Morrowind than my results.

d4gurl

Im so worried! I just wish that the exams went as well as i thought they would of! Its irritating to think that i did work hard and that I might not get any where near my points! One thing which is great is that my results are deliverd to my doorstep at 9 am! So thank god I do not hav to open them with loads of people! ahhhhh! I hate thinkin of it and I hate the wait!! Im scared of the unkown and the worst case scenario where i get really low points!

caesar

Not worried but now and again I think about my maths result cause it might stop me from getting into college but it doesn't really have me worried too much. I can just repeat maths if needs be. I've told my family that i wouldn't be telling them what i get, otherwise half the country will know.

Is anyone else having stupid dreams about the results? i had one a few weeks ago. I got an A of C in construction and other weird results.

ThrownAway

No dreams about results but I got nightmares about sitting my LC.

They were terrible.. I was trying to get into my German exam but things kept stopping me and I ended up missing it.. stuff like that

Funkstard

I'm pretty nervous....being generous in my estimations I still think I'm about 25 points off my course. With that said however, my cousin last year was absolutely, completely sure he couldn't have gotten over 530...in the end he got 560 and got into Pharmacy. So who knows. But still, I'm preparing to be disappointed, and it'll be the most disgusting feeling ever

How are you getting them delivered?

I'm just worried about the Geography exam, how they marked it...

Cause i was an A student with my teacher's marking scheme during the year, and i'm counting on staying the same, but cant be certain of it on account of the new marking scheme.

GretchenWieners

I'm worried about my Geography too, I went blank on the biome and only got down 1 1/2 pages of the 3 learnt off and even at that it was bad! And my Economics was woeful so I'm hoping things like my French, Irish, English and Business go better for me, was hoping for about 450 but would be ecstatic now if I got over 400.

Rockerette

i had a dream i got 495, i'd laugh that happened

GretchenWieners

That must've been a nice dream! I'm actually going to go to mass and say a prayer and hopefully they'll be answered!!

NADA

I don't mean to sound like smemon but I cannot believe so many of you are woorying about the results. It's stupid. I am not even thinking about them! I'm enjoying the summer!

i seriously couldnt care less about them. i'm not going in to get them as a sort of 2 figured salute to the teachers who make it out to be a matter of life and death :rolleyes:

i know what i'll get roughly, none of this jinxing rubbish- i'll get in or around 450.

i've told people that already and they just look at me. irish people don't like confident people. simple as.

we're all brought up in a level thinking society where everyone tells you 'you'll do grand' no matter how stupid you are or without knowing you. tell people you'll get 560 points and they'll instantly take a dislike to you.

the successful man is hated, the man who struggles to get by is loved. why? because the poor man has nothing bigger or better than us, the successful man has everything we want and can never get. so in order to make ourselves feel better, we'll huddle in a group and discuss just what a bad person the successful man is to make ourselves feel better.

:cool: peace out.

They need a character like you on Big Brother!! You'd be quite interesting on it!
