    My mother thinks she's entitled to finding out what I get.. As if the fear of doing shít isn't enough like.. I know she would be like 'ya did your best' regardless of how I get on but still... :mad:

    my dad's giving me a lift up to the school on wednesday thankfully because my legs will be like jelly with the nerves.
    i think i'll go in on my own, even though i know he'll be ok whatever i get it's me having the extra pressure of someone else there
    so i think i'll go in, get them and see what i got, have a little chat with ex classmates and teachers and then gather myself.if i do well i'll do the cliché sad look as if i've failed everything walking back out the car and look dissapointed then go mad, and if i have done bad il just cry in the back seats :P

    Best of luck too all, I remember two years ago collecting my results at 9am after working a 10 hour night shift, my eyes must have looked like they had been punched in :D

    My mother is more nervous than I am, the poor thing. I joked that I was going to wait until the results came online at 12 and she nearly had a heart attack. :p

    I can polish off a bottle in half an hour


  • Registered Users Posts: 623 ✭✭✭smeal


    Im going to bed now in the hope that I get up early so that I'll be tired tomorrow. I think my day tomorrow will consist of vigorous exercise (trampolining) with small breaks in between so I can sit in the dark crying to Celine Dion. Then i'll be back on here tomorrow evening for some last minute support from you guys haha oh god X


  • Registered Users Posts: 22 Hue.G rection


    I took foundation Irish, does that count :)

    Finally found somebody on this who also took the foundation paper! :D

    I promised myself I won't open mine until I'm safely on the Luas home,so I can avoid all the nosy feckers - although we'll see how long that lasts :rolleyes:

    Knowing me, I won't last 5 minutes!

    No lie,one of the lads had a bottle of wine drank in less than 5 minutes last year results night...needless to say he got sick in the pub and didnt make it out but still 5 minutes :rolleyes: He's my Hero! :pac:

    Yep took foundation Irish as I couldn't grasp a shred or Irish, oh yes my class took the piss out of me for it and had a great laugh, But I had 5 honors subjects and LCVP, those who laughed had 3 to 4 higher subjects at most and will probably fail Irish... they were all high and mighty with their higher and pass Irish..But when it came to their Irish exam they should have taken the foundation paper themselves

    Now who's laughing Bitch! :):)

    Moral of the story - Don't take a subject at a level you can't handle for status, because in the end status is irrelevant

    Now that I look back at the LC the best thing I did was to take foundation Irish and pass maths, they were still a thorn in my side though, but took away so much pressure and worry.

    No one in my family has really talked about or even my friends either, bar what we're going to do after....

    Tbh if I didn't check this place every few days I'd nearly forget we were getting results. I haven't had any dreams either which seems strange!! (Last night I had one about a football match that's on saturday...)

    But I haven't felt nervous at all until I read on here and then I get little twinges...I don't know why I do it :rolleyes:


    Do people know what their schools open? Obviously some people do, but does everyone?? I have no idea what time the school opens or where we're supposed to get them....but I suppose I'll find out on the day.

    As for opening them in public/private, I'll almost definitely open them straight away so I guess that counts as public...

    POA for the day:
    Wake up around 12ish and hide myself in the darkest corner of the house. Casually strole online and check the b*stards out, ponder about them for a moment and then polish off a few bottles. Out we'l head at about 2 and make it home in time for minor Championship on Saturday afternoon.

    Is it called a calculator? :pac: In fairness, if you can't add your points in your head, how did you manage to do the LC?


    Less of that thanks.
    It's exactly those sort of comments that everyone considers a PITA.

    Here's a tip - don't post them here and keep them to yourself on Wednesday.

    Wish I had a man like him.
    Aoife, when I go to Germany for a year, will you try to convince me that Cork is better?

    I'm the same, never had a hope with it really! If I do bad in any other subjects it's down to me not putting the work in, but Irish on the other hand, it might as well be Chinese :p
    I had so much time to focus on other subjects!
