I was fairly nervous getting them, i was nearly afraid to open them to be greeted with disappointment. Turns out i passed everything and will be starting my college course in 2 weeks! Hope everyone got what they wanted points wise and enjoy tonight! Essay over :P
Well Done.
I cant remember what I got in my leaving cert (class of 94).
I know I got an E in Technical drawing despite being very good at it normally. I remember being in the exam and not believing the questions were so easy so I interpreted them wrong and kicking myself later when the idiot in the class done well.
Also when I was in school Computers was not considered an actual Subject that gave you points in most colleges and Uni's except in Limerick at the time. My leaving cert for Computers came from UL at the time.
Doing computers was done at the time instead of doing a foreign language so that screwed me when I later applied to the Army Cadets as I did not meet basic qualifications and it required a foreign language at the time.
I remember getting my results over the phone. I was on the set of Braveheart when it was being filmed in Ireland with the FCA as extras.
I was in a Kilt with my face full of Mud, and there was a queue a mile long
for the phonebox where all people from the FCA who had lied about their age when signing up were waiting to ring the Mammy or Daddy to get their results.
Ended up doing Computer Programming in Limerick, not getting a grant as was not living far enough from the college, Hating Pascal and Cobol, and completely failing my first years exams cos I left early to meet my first girlfriend cos I was a horny teenager. She dumped me that year and I became a drop out. Later went on to do a HND in electronic engineering where I learned absoultly nothing at all via a night course, did a fas course and landed on my feet working for a semi-conducter company in 97 and am stuck in the place ever since hating every single day of my Job.
But it pays the bills!
If I knew back then what I know now what I actually might of liked to do as a career when doing my leaving, I would have kept art after the Intercert and pursued trying to get into something like special effects or designing movie sets. Would have LOVED to have a job working on the likes
of the Lord of the Rings sets making scenery and models etc.

Yeah, and the only way to copy games back then was to duct tape two cassette recorders together, press play on one and record on the otherswiftblade wrote: »I had a C64.

There were times on the C64 where you really didn't know if it crashed or was still loading. Thats how long the load times where. And the controller (if you were lucky enough to have one) was a piece of poo.0 -
