Are you guys nervous for results yet? :eek: I'm surprisingly not :eek: I think reality hasn't hit me yet, but I swear I was more nervous this time last year for results than I am now :P

I'm surprisingly calm tbh :O

Bluestrike · 01-09-2013 7:59pm

I want my results, but not really that nervous, maybe in the coming days...
As for TY, it sounds pretty good in our school, cant decide what i will do for Work Experience, maybe something to do with technology,if anyone has any ideas, but its in April so i have got a while to com up with something. Also they make us do community service for a week and that's in december but not sure what i will do. Maybe something to do with animals or in a local charity shop? Why is everyone talking about Christmas? summer holidays are just over :P

DublinArnie · 01-09-2013 10:59pm

I'm excited for Results day, i'm having a large pizza

juniorcert · 02-09-2013 5:28pm

Started ty today, really happy so far! I was really nervous about the new classes because I don't like a lot of people in my year, but one of my best friends is in it and some other people I like too

I only had a half day but I'm looking forward to going in tomorrow

My english teacher is kind of strange though, she spent the whole of class showing us a power point that she made about her life :L

AlanS181824 · 02-09-2013 5:37pm

I can't wait to get my results, I'm not worried, I'm getting €20 per pass and €50 per honour and if I get an A then a surprise so happy days

Already got a Nexus 7 for it lol, I'm off school for a full week for work experience but I don't start until tomorrow so I had a day off today :pac:

Oh god haha, yeah its pretty great, both my parents work full time so I guess they just wanted to treat me for hopefully getting good results.

CookieCat97 · 02-09-2013 5:56pm

Wow that's crazy :eek: Same, I will get a well done and (if i'm lucky) a pat on the back.

DuggiexD · 02-09-2013 7:02pm

Started ty today, I thought it was great, I actually got in a class with alot of my friends! New timetable is also good, we were also told today that we will be going surfing all day tomorrow, can't wait! Hopefully it will be a good year

DublinArnie · 02-09-2013 8:18pm

For every non-A I get, a part of my soul dies.

Bazinga_N · 02-09-2013 8:24pm

I'm after starting to like TY xD I actually kind of like my class now. Even though none of my friends are in it, it's starting to be a good thing :P My teachers aren't turning out to be too bad and I love my subjects xD Chinese next Monday xD

Also for the results thing, I'm only getting a 'fair play' too xD My grandad will give me something though

He's the biggest legend ever!

Bluestrike · 04-09-2013 9:40pm

This day next week...
Out of interest, do your schools give you the day off after you get your results or keep you in like a full day

I actually don't know? I just know I'm not going into school the next day regardless so xD I'd say your school won't be expecting TYs to come in

Some schools keep you in when you get your results...

In mine you just come in and collect it in the morning and then go home.
Out of curiosity, I'm on a week's work experience just to get into the swing of things and stuff, is anyone else in a similar position?

Bluestrike · 05-09-2013 7:01pm

Nope, just in school not doing much. In our school we do modules for 7 weeks and by the end of the year we will have done every subject they offer for leaving cert in our school so we just started them. Also, we have 7 classes of our foreign language a week and i have double French first thing on a Friday and then again for last class so that should be fun...
On the 28th though, we have the first of 7 physical challenges and this one is a 116 km cycle from Dublin to Brittas. You only go if you want and there are stops every while where there is food and drink and then everyone waits for everyone else to catch up before we go again. Its done at a pretty slow, leisurely pace. Should be fun but pretty tiring

My school doesn't give us our results till 3 :mad: So I just have normal classes until then and we have to be in as normal the next day then

I wish my school did this ...

Bluestrike · 05-09-2013 10:05pm

Ye it sounds pretty good, they have done a thing called "Hell and Back" the last 2 years and i presume we will do it too as another challenge. Its like an obstacle/adventure course through the mud and its really tiring apparently, also there is a tunnel you have to go through that gives you static electric shocks
Also JuniorCert, bet you wish you hadn't called yourself that

Delete this account and make a new one?

Make sure you tell a Mod as it's against Boards.ie Rules to have two active accounts.

We got told we're not getting ours until 3 on Wednesday either :mad: Our school usually gives them out at 11 and let's the whole school have a half day! Everyone in fourth year is annoyed about it! It's not as if we're gonna be focusing on our classes on Wednesday anyways? Schools. -.-

Bluestrike · 07-09-2013 7:21pm

We get them at 11:40 (start of a period) and then we can leave at 12:20 (end of that period)

I know, apparently our school always gives them out at 3 but I never took much notice. And my class also does activities the last 3 classes on a Wednesday where we usually go on a trip or something. But we won't be going anywhere because of the results so we'll just be sitting around for about an hour and a half -_-

pvakelly · 08-09-2013 12:17pm

I guess I'm fairly lucky that we get our results before 11!

CookieCat97 · 08-09-2013 5:08pm

we can get ours anytime between 9 and 4 (I think, I mightn't be right) we have the day of and can go into school whenever you want

Bazinga_N · 08-09-2013 5:54pm

Actually now that I think about it, can we get ours online like the Leaving Certs can? I will be so anxious if I have to wait until 3 O'Clock

Bluestrike · 08-09-2013 8:15pm

I would say check with your teachers or wherever they post the leaving cert results. They would probably know, although i wouldn't say so as its not during the holidays like the LC results

Yeah I wasn't sure.. I'm just really annoyed that we have to wait all day! It's not as if we'll be able to concentrate anyways! :P

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can. I got a letter home back in May that gave me a online code to use to find out your results on the examinations website but I think you only use it if you're definitely not able to come into school on the 11th.

I didn't get a letter for definite anyways so I guess I can't do it

Ugh guess I'll just have to wait until 3pm :mad:

AlanS181824 · 08-09-2013 9:50pm

I think the way my school does it is great, ye go into school at the normal time of 9 then ye go home for the day!
Of course you're allowed to hang around if you'd like to discuss results etc but I don't think that's what I'll be doing.

My school used to give them out at 11 and send the rest of the school home on a half day but of course the year I get mine they decide to wait until 3 o'clock -.-

MomijiHime · 08-09-2013 10:10pm

Do you all have to come into school the next day? People in my school will get detention if we skip..

I think we're supposed to come in, but as long as I'm not threatened with detention I'm going to skip cause I'm sleeping over in a friends

Is anyone else beginning to get nervous? Knowing it's Monday tomorrow and how close we are is beginning to make me nervous
