Leaving Cert. '11/'12 Off-Topic

I think the older you get the more you realize that the things that make you different are what make you special. You need to find out what your good at and go in that direction. Do what you think is right. Stand up for what you believe in and take no notice of what any other person thinks. And have fun, its a new dawn, a new day, you fcuk up, move on and no regrets.

I agree with you 100% but in secondary people can be so narrow minded and just scared to stand out from the crowd. Roll on college:rolleyes:

I think people in general can be very narrow minded but learn to keep it to themselves (well what would I know )

Am I the only person who finds the thought of going to college quite daunting?

Tbh I dont know either because my only experiences are from school really

Ive just heard a lot of people say that people are more open minded when they leave school:rolleyes:

I suppose its different for everyone. Ive lived away from home quite a bit so that part will not bother me. But yeah its going to be scary going from a school where everything is familiar to a bigger place where everything is unknown. But thats kind of the exciting part :pac:

Luno · 25-08-2011 2:11am

Ah at least you've experience living away! I've never had anything like that nor have I joined a new school where I didn't really know anyone. I'll probably be living at home for when I go to college

Laauren · 25-08-2011 2:22am

Yeah Im going to be soo nervous when Im starting in my new school:eek: Its so horrible not knowing anyone.. But the great thing about college is that everyone is in the same boat so thats kinda comforting!
Ah sure there benefits of living at home

Ill probably be living with my grandparents when I go to college

padocon · 25-08-2011 12:20pm

You guys are jumping too far ahead we have the daunting leaving cert to do! ha ha. Yeah I think everyone is nervous when starting off somewhere new. I can't say I have thought that far ahead though.

I haven't even looked at mine because I'm 90% sure it's all of last years stuff and maybe exam papers!

Hollaylay · 25-08-2011 4:04pm

I'm Holly and I'm 17, decided to actually start posting now I'm doing the LC rather than reading posts. Had my first day yesterday, 37 questions for Maths, picture 13 and tape for Irish and 2011 Comps for English. I can already tell I'm going to just LOVE 6th year. Oh well I'm on the Prefect Exec and my name's in the journal so I'm happy enough!

Schonie · 25-08-2011 4:45pm

Just came back from my 1st day of school this year...twas a bit hectic and I gotta say that my timetable disgusts me very much....Got the 'you better study hard cause it's your LC' talk from every teacher and now that that's done and over, I'm ready to take on 6th year..but first I have to do all the homework..lovely:rolleyes:

13spanner · 25-08-2011 5:09pm

I'm Eoin, 17. Back to 6th year tomorrow, finished at 2 so not too bad. Haven't opened a book and had a busy summer working. Going to be hard to hit the books again, but we'll get there

Luno · 25-08-2011 6:18pm

Siobhnk · 25-08-2011 7:42pm

Random but do you ever get so tired that your legs feel like they're about to fall off? I'm really not able for these 7 o clock mornings :rolleyes:

Jimmy Magee · 25-08-2011 7:51pm

It's good to get the kids going back all the same.

The O.A.P's around the estate have been complaining all summer!

Half eight!!! :eek::eek: You have it so so so lucky! Half 6 for me to catch a half 7 bus!! :mad::mad:

TemptationWaits · 25-08-2011 8:27pm

I'm back to school on Tuesday!

It's only for a few hours though.

I'd say sixth year will be fairly terrible with all the pressure to be studying and that, but it will be the last year for a lot of things. My last year doing Irish, which I'm sad about but most of ye will probably be celebrating

, and the last year with everyone in my year.

coffeelover · 25-08-2011 8:37pm

I usually get up at 7 and get the bus at 7.30

Ugh dreading it..

PictureFrame · 25-08-2011 8:45pm

My bus goes from right outside my front door at 7.55 in the morning. So I can jump on the bus with my breakfast! :P. ( Bottle of water and a yoghurt).

Joey. · 25-08-2011 8:46pm

Goodbye summer

whistlin_boy · 25-08-2011 9:42pm

Not yet......i'm pretending my school doesn't exist for this wkend. The minute school is mentioned I will be singing "LA DE DA DE DA LA DE DA DE DA etc".

donvito99 · 25-08-2011 10:16pm

Hhahaha...consider yourself lucky youve even done five....we done one, except we didnt write it down we "discussed" it. we have done three poems, but when i say done, i mean we have read them and wrote the notes from our book into our copies, and oh ya, did i mention we also done the WHOLE introduction for the irish oral, including name age family and school we attend? and we also read an trial, man we done so much work in fifth year

:pac:

Luno · 26-08-2011 4:31am

We've done about the same aswell. Dont think we'll finish the Irish course

We've done 15 because apparently we were sooo behind :mad:

Eoin Cunniffe 94 · 26-08-2011 12:50pm

Eoin 17 constant lurker first time poster !
Absolutely dreading 6th year even though enjoyed 5th year and did really well in summer exams !
Definitely not blocking boards it's the only thing that will keep me somewhat sane for the year :pac:

AnnaKin · 26-08-2011 2:45pm

ahh here lads, lets just chill a bit ok?
for the ones who have started back, you made me a bit nervous about it, but now i have just adopted this chilled out attitude about it all! as for irsih pictures, we've done the first six i think and we still have plenty of time for the rest!!

besides...its the rest of the oral i'm a tad (ok a lot) worried about :O
in any case, i still look forward to going back (for now) :L

ConTheCat · 26-08-2011 3:38pm

Right guys..I've a problem!
I suffer big time from tonsillitis 3-4 times a year..Was at a specialist about getting them out and he said next time I have it to ring him..Next time being now, the day I go back to school!

I don't know whether to get them out or hold on until after the LC as I've to do last year & this years work, and I don't want to be missing 2 weeks of school. What do ye think I should do??

You're asking for medical advice from a group of strangers on the internet?! :rolleyes:

Get them out now, first weeks back are harmless and you could be out a lot more than 2 weeks with tonsillitis during the year if you don't get them out now.

Boeing777 · 26-08-2011 3:53pm

Finished all 20 pictures...

Its been hell! Our teacher gave us the whole 20 pictures to do over the summer so we'll have them out of the way for sixth year! And me being me, I've left them all till the last week

:L

Looking for opinions on the matter

I think if I aim to get them out around October midterm I might only miss a week!?

barbarians · 26-08-2011 5:18pm

Loving how comfortable my new school shoes are

Slip-ons FTW :cool:

Yup...I got a few maths questions, to write about the summer (A4) in german, personal response in english and to learn definitions in biology...that was yesterday (my first day)... I will not even mention today - let's say it will take me a while to get it done lol:D

Mayo_Boy · 26-08-2011 6:10pm

All this talk of homework is making me dread going back even more

We've done about three, so I doubt your sooo behind

(hopefully!)
Sh*ting myself for Irish though, don't reckon we'll finish up, its the only subject I'm really worried about

Had registration today, and back proper on monday, have a double chemistry-maths-double physics run on a tuesday

Chuchoter · 26-08-2011 8:39pm

I think we only have 4 of those pictures done, very little in the line of stories/poems/essays or an triail either. God only knows what we were doing last year.

Out of interest, do you need Irish to do law? Like the way you need it for primary teaching?

That Handsome Devil · 26-08-2011 9:22pm

Pretty sure not, unless there's some sort of Law+Irish course like Law+German etc.

Although I think that King's Inn have an Irish exam, so you'll need good irish for that!

Namlub · 26-08-2011 9:35pm

Whoah people are going back early. I'm in on Monday but only for like an hour, so meh. I ususally don't even mind going back but this has been such a good summer (wish I was back in France

) and, y'know, the whole LC thing...

Joey. · 26-08-2011 9:51pm

What a first day back. Went in to find someone had taken and put a lock on my locker, later found out we'd been assigned the same locker. There were no spares so the office told me that they'd get one of those double sized lockers moved into our social area for me on Monday

And my school is little more than a building site, lovely.
