Well this leaving cert business will be the death of me.  All those days i spent dossing back in TY ‘08 and i never appreciated them . Now I’m up to my eyeballs in Die Imperfekt, King Lear and differentiation *shudder*

As if that wasn’t enough they’re telling me now to decide what to do with the rest of my life!!! As a sufferer of chronic indecision I struggle to choose between Cookie Crisp or Cheerios gach maidin!! So how on earth am i going to manage this CAO craic?? I guess a lot of ye
are in the same boat I hope im not alone in feeling way too young to make these choices!

Ah well ill give it a shot anyway… Although I’m a South East culchie at heart i think ill head for the big smoke.  So UCD is at the top of my list for its Arts in International Modern Languages. As its only a two year old course i know no-one who has already done this course but languages are my first love so i reckon ill go down that road…

I’m sure all you fellow 6th years will identify with that drowning feeling on a weeknight when you feel there’s no way you can finish the essay, do the comprehension and learn off your Stáir na Gaeilge for 9am the next morning but I’m trying not to let it get me down… In the beginning some things suffered but i think ive got the hang of juggling the sport, the friends, the boyfriend and of course the work at this stage… That really is my main advice to fellow leaving cert students; don’t let it get the better of you! Try make time for doing the little things you love like quitting the homework early to have a cup of tea or taking a night off occasionally, one night won’t make you fail stressing out too much could be disastrous… and now I’m off to watch the midweek movie (yes its cheesy i know but its my guilty pleasure!)
