The Official 'moan about the Leaving Cert' thread

Liveit

I'm surprised that this hasn't been set up yet, but now it has arrived!
Moan and groan ye'er best!

Lawliet

I tried to start one, but I was the only one to post a rant and it died after a few comments! Ah well, maybe this one will live longer

Liveit

pfft well you should have told me about that one :P... This one might stay alive though since it is getting closer... I better start anyway.
p.s don't be afraid of exaggerating ye'er emotionns aswell :P

God damn easter revision classes making me get up early in the morning

DancingQueen:)

A lot of homework, I understand that we need homework to revise and practise what we are doing but sometimes there's way to much of it. Then I don't have any time to study and get a little stressed.

I love the LC nothing better than seeing all my school mates on meltdown, freaking out and spontanious bitching that happens....i just breathe slowly and i'm fine

NufcNavan

It's far too relaxed at home. Just can't sit down and do any work.

Every time I go out now, I make a concerted effort to get completely smashed.

I don't get hangovers, so it's working well

Thank you I'm quite the Science lover and you know the way it related to my post and all, quite happy with it myself!
In other LC news I have done absolutely no homework as of yet but i've studied a bit, spoken a lot of French and Irish and plan on doing a lot more over the next week and a half.

Em, HOW? Jealous. If I were you I'd go out every night of the easter holidays...

Oh God I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of books. I haven't been out since MIDTERM.

I love how fast this thread grew...

Liveit

God damn projects .... Although at least that will be some of the exam out of the way...
damn mock orals after easter! I don't know a word of french and havent started studying Irish at all... I won't either :P

Seriously people? Monaing about the Leaving Cert?

Is this not the best year ye've ever had? The amount of craic I've had this year is unreal! Ye just need to stop worrying, take a night or two off and go out on the piss, nothing takes your mind off stuff better than going out.

The leaving cert is not hard at all, people just hype it up to be a huge deal, its actually really easy when you think about it...

almostnever

My study fails have rendered me totally devoid of a soul.

Shoot me in the foot, kthnx.

ciano1

Wow..I never realised how down people are over the Leaving Cert here :eek:

I take it seriously and all but i'd never leave it eat into my social life!

Well, I know it from last year:D But now, repeating in a different school and aiming for medicine, there isn't much time for ze crack!

MaggieNF

I hate the fact we still get so much homework and they expect us to study, but you can't just not go out anymore, we do need and deserve breaks, alcoholic breaks

I have done nothing so far over Easter and it is nice

whelpy

^^ ditto. saw lineup for Electric picnic and i is sad, 240 euros.....:(

has anyone started planning end of year pranks?

Huuuh? How's that work out? Have you decided before you've even done the LC in 2010 you're gonna repeat in 2011 or have you taken a gap year?

Exactly.

Seriously, what was stopping anyone going out last Saturday night?? Take the bloody weekend off. You have/had 2 weeks to study/think about studying afterwards. I got pissed and no hangover either.

You do, you're just not drinking enough, which isn't a bad thing.:)

On topic: It is stressful at times but if you work consistently and enjoy yourself too you'll be grand.

Stupid leaving cert.
ugh, i can't even think of a better adjective at the moment...
stupid leaving cert.:mad:

**Timbuk2**

I can't wait until we are finished, so we can laugh at all these words

• Mocks
• Timing
• Marking Schemes
• Technique
• Structure/Plan
• Coherence
• Definition
• Experiment
• Equation
• "To be learned off by heart"
• Orals
• Tapework
• Essays

etc.

It's all over in 12 weeks.

Yeah right! I bet you wouldn't go out on an alcoholic break even if a friend begged you to do so. :P

goldenlady131

I think it's the tiredness that is the hardest part of it all. It's mentally and physically exhausting even thinking about studying, marking schemes, points, college everything.. it's a wonder we've all not gone totally insane yet! :eek:

If only that were true. I wouldn't be able to let myself get so, well let's just say I've had trouble getting home...

I remember that. I was expecting some epic feeling and k-razy celebrations, but none of my friends had money so I just went home and watched TV:rolleyes:

wow that is soooooooo depressing.I couldn't imagine doing that,I plan on getting sooo drunk so i'll forget about the last year!!!!:D

zam

I can imagine being way too tired to even think about going out :P if the mocks are anything to go by...

DancingQueen:)

I finish a few days before my friends so I probably won't be doing much until everyone else finishes too. I might do something with the people who have finished the same day as me but I can't see drink being involved as we'll all be wrecked

zam

Yeah that's the annoying thing, I finish quite early, which isn't really a good thing...

I have like 4 days between my last 2 exams, which is technically great but gonna be so annoying!
