Okay, well I'm really hoping son does well ... he hated school, barely went for best part of two years, but then, after years of his mother's torment (mine) he went back (school were great too, have to say) and he did it, the Leaving Cert. I'm crossing everything here tonight, am sure there's others out there in same boat ..... am proud of him regardless:)

Best of luck everyone!

It's such a hard and unfair exam, glad I did well in mine cos you're basically screwed if you don't but hard work always pays off
Enjoy the drinkies tomorrow night

16 years since I got mine, Oasis were in the middle of a 2 night gig in Cork, I nearly failed 2 subjects (I blame Euro '96) but I got enough points to do whaty I wanted and the rest, as they say, is History

Good luck to all the result getters tomorrow......in getting into a pub tomorrow night :pac:

I always imagined you as being in your late teens when reading your posts. Not an insult btw, your posts are usually funny.

Teenagers are rarely funny to anyone else but themselves.

You're not, don't worry! Some people aren't suited to school because of the way they learn, not necessarily a learning disability but more the style in which they are best suited to learning with and contrast with the teaching style given to them by the school.

If you're lazy you'll get nowhere, but there are genuine reasons for people not being suited to school. They can still be very successful(like me)

Reading this makes me want to get my ass back drinking again. It's coming up to that time when I have to make a **** load of decisions I have no clue about.

shopaholic1, I'll take you up on that thread offer!

It doesn't get easier in my experience.
Hope this helps.

I almost kind of wish I was back waiting for my results last year. It was nerve-wracking and a bit nauseating but at least it was exciting and something to look forward to. Looking back, the time between getting my results and starting college was one of the highlights of last year.

Anyway, good luck to any one waiting on results. You'll get what you deserve and if you've worked hard you'll get what you deserve.

i cannot be the only person who sees irony in that post somewhere

Leaving cert...not even on my C.V now. I think it's only purpose is to get points for university.

But, good luck to the students anyway.

Funnily enough, I mod LC so spend a fair bit of time around them, and I'd be far more likely to make that comment about certain posters in AH!!

(And given that no matter how I phrase it that looks like a veiled dig at you, starbelgrade, I'm hereby clarifying that it isn't! :P)

Load of bollix. The leaving cert is an important exam alright, but in the grand scheme of your life, its nothing.

My grandfather said this to me before I done the Junior, "Son, go in there, do your best and then forget all about it and enjoy your summer. The exams you need to be stressing about are the ones when you go into the doctors and need to undergo a test after a health scare."

Good luck to all those receiving their results tomorrow and remember, if you don't get the results who hoped for, that you have plenty of options. Time is on your side.

Very good advice.
