Countdown to LC Results 2011

gruffler91

So doomsday is drawing ever closer.....am I the only one who cannot stop thinking about the results??

Just wondering have yere schools been in contact about what time we can collect them or if there are any other people out there who STILL HAVENT been given their online pin for getting the results from the SEC website?

When we opened our JC results I only got questions from people I was good mates with or people asking what I got in a particular subject where I sat beside them or whatever, they'll be more worried about their own and their good friend's results to give a **** about random people in their year who they'll want to 'make fun of' tbh

Believe me mate , Im repeating this year, and when I opened mine up last year the amount of people hassling me what did you get. I didnt get what I wanted lasdt year. But the amount of people poking their nose into my business was unreal. In the end of the day they're your results. Not telling anyone is your perogative really. If you do want to tell people though thats grand too. Depends on the person in question and what they want to do. Personally though , its only going to be my family and one or two people I really trust

Just seems overly protective and secretive to not want to tell people what you got. And people won't be as nosy for this as they are for normal exams...I'm still fully expecting my mates to ask what I got, why wouldn't they?

And if you do badly, you'd be better off talking to people than keeping it secret and not going out or what not

I'll tell my best friends straight away, but tbh I don't care what most of the boasters get.... so why should they be worried about me? I dunno it's a matter of personal choice I suppose:)

Maybe to you it's a bit secretive, but I'm just a private person. I'd never ask someone straight out what they're results were, because it's not really fair and it's really personal.

Fair play if you could still gear yourself up for a night out after being disappointed. I don't know how I'd motivate myself to get ready, and how I'd keep myself from possibly ruining my friends' night.

Alcohol and negative emotions do not mix well!!:o

At about half 8 Wednesday morning the radio stations will start announcing how many people failed maths and other subjects. They did that last year..

[Deleted User]

Up to the individual then. Personally ill just tell whoever asks me whether its good or bad, if its good then

and if its bad at least they'll be extra nice :P

It's not that people might make fun of me, but there have been certain expectations placed on my head during the year. The amount of people who said things along the lines of "you'll be grand..you'll definitely get your 500..blah blah" is pressurising in itself. People wouldn't make fun of me if I get below this, but they would discuss it to a certain extent and compare.

I don't fancy that tbh.

Ugh...major avoid! I didn't listen or read any of the exam post mortems, and there's no way I'll be listening to any of their statistics!

I think it might have something to do with the competitive nature of the LC...people become so stressed during the year...and loads that I know became obsessed with others they were "in competition with."

It's probably where the smugness is born out of on results day.

It sucks.

Edana

My family aren't annoying me about it at all, thank god.

Neither are mine, in fairness to them:P I'm dreading the drive in to get them with my mum though, cos she'll start spouting off all this stuff about how it's all meant to be, and how they'll be happy regardless of what I get, and that I've done my best....

I don't need to hear it tbh!

I dont even want to raise the subject with my parents anymore. My Dad is indifferent and Mam just knows I did my best but she keeps on asking how many points would I get with the Mock results and Christmas results... Annoying. DVD's and TV series are keeping me busy and away from them thankfully

Note to self: Avoid all radio stations and news reports on Wed. morning

Edana

Mum's only words of wisdom throughout the whole LC was .. ' Whats meant for you won't pass you by' and thats all. I'm so greatful she's not giving me daily speeches. i really wouldn't be able for that.

smeal

My mum and dad gave me the "You've done your best" speech before the leaving even started haha. Think Mum knows to leave me alone at the minute though! Whatever way the results pan out my plan is wine, vomit, more wine, disco, possible wee sleep, even more wine, wee chinese, bed.

Ya know, its not my immediate family. It's my uncle. I'd say I'm more annoying my family than vice versa cos I'm so on edge.

Dam the posts are really starting to flood in now, I'm going in at 11 and taking my results to the toilets, for privacy of course! There will be nobody there, I'd say most will go in when the school opens at 9, well I hope so anyway. Does anyone know when do I put in a request for the viewing of my papers?

I'm the same, I couldn't face the car journey with mum, but she insists on being around for it. So I'm leavin her at my friends house so his mum and my mum can happily freak out together, and we're going to head on up;)

I'm the same, i have my parents plagued... i have a count down thing on the fridge but they don't seem bothered but i think they just don't understand. However my aunt and uncle are awful i remember getting J.C. results and she rang me compare my results with my cousin (who had done better) it was horrible....
