    i love 6th year tbh! sure it is only the Leaving Cert like..and if the worst comes to the worst, I can just repeat! I don't feel any pressure at all...sure we don't technically need everything we study for life afterwards, but imagine if you were partaking in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and the million dollar question was based on something you did in 5th/6th year...then you'd be happy you paid attention in class and studied!! :D

    i am just looking forward to it being over also, i feel theres so much still to do and so little time. at the moment i am doing 5honours 2passes (hoping to be doing pass in Spanish soon though). A lot of the LC is useless in some aspects but i suppose whats useless to one person is extremely usefull to another considering what they want to do after school.

    I also cannot motivate myself to study when i want to - i only study what revision is marked by our teacher or whatever. This works best for me. I put it down to myself being lazy or because my brain melted over transition year (lol).

    The stuff is useless, but so in a way is reading books or watching tv. 6th year has been pretty class so far, parties every week, a great atmosphere in school.

    Here Here!

    6th year is grand, and sure it's only the LC. Don't let it get to you, have fun in school. I don't want to look back and think that I wasted all my schooldays by worrying and getting way too stressed.

    Laugh at yourself often, laugh at others more.

    You're not a child, you're a young adult. By the end of this year you're life will be forever changed.

    6th year has been grand so far, then this month a whole load of crap is going on, orals, engineering projects, mock orals, and various other brick-a-brack. Frankly, I'm sick of it all tbh.

    Yeah but come on, there is life after the leaving, and its not the be-all to end-bloody-all. There's other ways to get where you want, although everyone would much prefer to get there as quick as possible - via the LC. We'll all be grand, so lets just have some fun along the way ;)

    It isn't really THAT important, try not to get it out of perspective for what it is. This will also mean your less stressed when doing it and should hopefully do better.

    But in fairness, which would you prefer.. To get a course you don't want cause you didn't get enough points and end up hating your job for the rest of your life or getting the job you've always wanted???

    doing a college course doesnt necessarily determine your job.
    and doing a college course DEFINITELY doesnt mean you get the job you've always wanted.


    plus on your cao if theres a particular area you really want to work in, you should have different options down for it, in different colleges, with different amounts of points..

    obviously for something like medicine thats difficult, but now you can do medicine through a general science degree cant you?


    anyways yeah.. obviously i really want my first choice, but i'd be happy with most of my others, and i know its not the end of the world..

    Its not as bad as I thought it would be, Im pritty relaxed about the whole thing. Im letting this year get me into constant bad moods, or let it take control over my social life.
    I will wonder what it feels like to be free... Being able to come home, and not study... hmmmmmm... I wonder.. ;)
