Thanks square_igloo. I'm trying to block it out of my mind, but even the small things (like my school jumper on the floor:P) bring the anxiety back and I just freak out. The thought of sucky results is gut-wrenching.

Your school jumper is still on the floor? You mean you haven't ceremonially burned it yet? :eek:

Go set it alight - it will be a fantastic stress reliever!!

:D

The thought of sucky results is completely natural - I can guarantee you that there are people who will eventually get 550+ points that right now are thinking like you "OMG I should have done better"

If your results are good, then brilliant.
If not, then it's not the end of the world. Leaving Cert is not the be all and end all.

Yeah, it's still on the floor. I missed bonfire night because I was away... and that's the only night you can burn stuff legally here, so I'm too afraid to burn it now >.<

I'm freaking out. I'm trying to block it... it's not working!

>.<

I'm not going to repeat, but I can't bring myself to throw any of my LC stuff out before the results. It's like taking the christmas tree down early.

I only cleared out my books off the desk in my room yesterday. All my books were there until yesterday.

Laziness.

KnifeWRENCH · 28-07-2008 10:08PM

Really? All my notes went out with the recycling the day after my final exam. Felt good letting go of them, but also a little sad.

The books I had to return to the school because they were rented! So no ceremonial burning for me!

Timans · 28-07-2008 10:34PM

Yeah, I didn't mind them really, didn't bother burning them as instead I just burnt a small child.

KnifeWRENCH · 28-07-2008 10:42PM

Oh fair enough.
You should sacrifice many small children. It will appease the Gods and guarantee you good Leaving Cert results.

Oh my God you burn small children...do you know how much CO2 is released into the atmosphere when a single child is burned!

Yeah I just dumped everything in the green bin the day I was finished there was no way I was going to keep all those books and maths notes.

Mark200 · 29-07-2008 05:17PM

I kept all my main notes in a safe place out of fear of for some unknown reason having to repeat, even though I was happy with how I did. Everything else (books, scrap paper, some notes etc) went straight out.

Yuugib · 30-07-2008 08:57PM

Still have most of the copies from 1st year and on, geez.. just cant get my self to bin them

I'm like that too, I just hoard absolutely everything.

Timans · 30-07-2008 10:25PM

I got Herpes from a hoard once. She was cheap though.

KnifeWRENCH · 30-07-2008 10:32PM

If ye still have stuff hoarded, ye should triumphantly dispose of it on Results Day (provided ye get what ye want) It will feel good letting go

whyohwhy · 31-07-2008 09:51AM

Peleus · 03-08-2008 03:29PM

Old english copies are always great to read through

I still have my creative writing stuff from 5th class. It was all in a Harry Potter binder I'm now using for Biology and I had a look through the stuff a few months ago. There was a picture of a FIRE CAR made of FIRE in there.

FIRE!

Piste · 03-08-2008 08:01PM

But it was super-fast

And made of FIRE!

SRFC90 · 03-08-2008 09:36PM

Starting to get very nervous....

rc28 · 04-08-2008 12:41PM

Does anyone know what time you are supposed to go into your school to pick up the results. I know they are on the internet from noon but are they posted to schools early in the morning?

Mars Bar · 04-08-2008 12:51PM

I think from 9a.m...I got mine at 10 last year, might go 9.30 this year...

PurpleFistMixer · 04-08-2008 01:14PM

Jaysus never even thought about that. You just wander in and pick them up aye? For our JC it was a big deal, had to line up and everyone got called one by one. Guess they can't do that now.
