The Leaving Certificate. The worlds biggest anti-climax

ps3man

Ok i am finished tomorrow with economics. The 23rd has been a date that I have been looking forward to for months. Now that its nearly here there is nowhere near the sheer amount of joy I thought I would feel. my friends who are finished all seem to be doing the same as they were before the lc ended. Does anybody else feel that the leaving cert is one of the greatest anti-climaxes ever. I was more excited to finish the junior certificate to be honest.

I'd have said Spain losing to Switzerland was the worlds biggest anticlimax. They went in unbeatable looking, and lost to Switzerland ffs.

A biteen off-topic? :P

But yeah, I kinda agree with OP. I still cant wait til the 24th when it's all over, but I know it's gonna be a major anti-climax. All year I've been looking forward to this amazing summer that I was gonna have, but I know full well that Im just gonna be pure bored! Fecking LC...hate it!

I don't know, I finished Thursday and have had a great few days Looking forward to Friday when the big celebrations begin though.

Yeah, finished there at five. A bit anticlimatic. 4 nights out between now and Sunday though so it ain't all bad.

In fairness, it'll take a while for the stress of it all to subside.

Couldn't agree more. i thought i couldn't wait for this week a few months ago, and now it just seems like any other week.

New Zealand drawing with Italy sits above that with me. Their best player plays for Blackburn, BLACKBURN!

Yeah, they Leaving Cert has a unique way of draining all happiness out of your life until it's irretrievable. That's where alcohol steps in.

I agree completely, I finished today and thought I'd be going mad but I'm really not!After all that study I think i need to get used to the real world again:p

Expect an anti-climax tbh.

You have just gone through 2 weeks of pressure, probably living significant chunks of it on an adrenalin high, and now that adrenalin has leached away and you're left feeling unexpectedly low, though you know you should be feeling great ... quite a common reaction.

I've had so much energy drink I know I'm gonna get withdrawal symptoms.

I finished with chemistry today, went home threw the bike in the back of me car and rode Dh until 10pm. Going out now for the next few nights.

I didn't drink any energy drink at all during the LC. I find the adrenaline of the 'big exams' great - much better than any Boost!

I can't wait until Friday at 12pm. It's going to be great! I'm going to go on a massive drive - I miss driving. I have a car, insurance and a licence but my parents told me not to drive before the Leaving Cert in case I got in an accident or something (bit of an over-reaction really but I suppose they have my best interests at heart)!

Oh Lord!! >.<

You are, you know!

Go for a long walk / cycle tomorrow ... as in 3 -4 hours. Bring / drink plenty of water.

I always found it helps with the adrenalin flush; you will get a restful sleep tomorrow night afterwards; and ... I suspect it might help with the withdrawal symptoms as well!

Fellow DH MTBer? :eek:

Ahh now I want to cycling! I don't MTB but I road cycle - sometimes as much as 100-200km. The LC has caused me to lose some of my fitness - but there is plenty of time in the summer to regain that!
