    Hey guys,
    I dont know if there is a thread for this already but i was just thinking its very lonely being a repeat leaving cert with all my friends gone to college and it would be cool to talk to some other repeats about where ye hope to go and whatnot, so yep... :)

    What goes on Lisa :)

    Great idea for a thread :D Who better to chat to repeats about repeating than... well, repeats!

    I myself am one of the mad few who went back, by the way, but you probably gathered that :p

    Very lonely is right! You finding it strange without your friends, or is that just me? Feels weird to be in the same classrooms and canteens but with different people! Like on the first day I sat in the same place as last year in Irish and someone else sat beside me and I was thinking to myself "Whaaat?! You can't sit there thats my friends seat" ... and then I realised :(:pac:

    What subjects you doing? Any new ones? I picked up economics for the first time this year and even though its pretty short, it's still very hard to catch up.. Doesn't help that the class is unbelievably smart! Class test next week should be fun :cool:

    How ya finding it overall yourself anyway?

    Yeah fb is a definite no go! Especially next week with freshers week and all. Think we would do ourselves a favour if we stayed off it:pac: That's my plan anyway ... sticking to it is another matter of course

    And of course it'll be worth it :D Don't even think otherwise :eek::pac:

    I can relate :pac:

    Oh, sorry... I should have said I don't plan to go to college. I'm just gunna repeat for the rest of my life (or at least the foreseeable future) cos' the leaving cert's just too much craic. I couldn't bare the thought of moving on from it :cool:

    Ah no :p National school teaching in Pats hopefully :)

    Yourself? :)

    We're in the same boat so :D

    Would have went to Mary I myself, cos' it has a really good reputation and high standard, but Dublin's handier location-wise.

    Might reconsider about Pats though, Marino's supposed really nice :) At least time's on our side :)

    I'm a repeat! It is depressing hearing everyone talking about college. Did any of you guys skip TY?

    I want to do Vet Medicine. I picked up physics this year, seems alright so far! :D

    well people :) I too have repeated it's not too bad the actual school it's just the fact that some of the friends are in college and that and it can be kinda lonely but sure how and ever and watching photos/ status' on fb doesnt help too much ha

    I'm repeating as well. Hoping to go up 50+ points, finding studying hard this week. :(

    Keep having this horrible thought of my points staying the same or going down.

    Yeah, glad I did now. I was kind of old for my year before I went into 5th. :pac:

    Yeah, I'm hoping to go up by at least that. Haha, my parents were panicking about if they went down too :pac: that'd be awful!

    Yeah, glad I did now. I was kind of old for my year before I went into 5th. :pac:

    So did I, I'm glad I did too.

    Well lads,
    Yea i did ty, such a waste of time! All the facebook posts about college are just awful, friends going off all about the country and having the craic and im just like, 'yea ill do the leaving again'. Its definitely weird being in the same school iv been at for the past 6 years but with a totally different year, i have a load of new teachers too which is too bad because i loved my english teacher last year!
    Im hoping to go to NUI galway, and study nursing, the aim at the end of the road is medicine but like sure its far to hard to get over 600 points in one year.
    I went up to honours biology this year and ill maybe go to honours irish. I was only 5 points away form getting into trinity this year so im determined to get 500 points this year, but sure we'll see!
    :]

    Oh god, that's what I keep thinking. My course went to random selection, imagine having got the right points, but not gotten in because of random selection! That'd be so horrific! :pac:

    Exactly yea, sure it stops being bout the points soon as you get them! I think nursing in galway often goes to random selection too, thats why im determined to get 500 or more so i definitely get a place :o
