Roisin McLoughlin
St. Mary's Secondary School, Nenagh
To all Leaving Cert students,
We are about to embark upon this, the final furlong of our final school
year. For many, the year has been a colourful bag of fun and games and
for the more stressed-out of those among us, it has been one of utter
mayhem. As the glorious russet sun rises on the morning of the 7th of
June, sheer pandemonium will be rampant in our minds. The stress levels
will be optimum and the stark reality will at last begin to seep in. That
very day will mark the start of an eagerly anticipated few weeks, when
we can finally get down to it and show off out wordly wisdom.
After the exams the long nail-biting road to the CAO will
lie before us (along with a mindblowing weekend to celebrate with our
fellow schoolmates!). Through all this anxious pre-Leaving Cert blues,
as I personally remain oblivious to the fact that this (as many before
me have informed me) is in fact the most pressurising and drawn-out exam
session in ones lifetime.
Nevertheless, once the 15th of August springs upon us and
the next three years of our lives are mapped out in accordance to the
CAO offers, we will at last be able to relax and get on with the rest
of our lives.
In short, I would like to wish all you Leaving Cert students
the very best of luck in June and a big thank you to everyone at Student
Xpress, for providing us with a very useful coverage on various elements
of our course.
Finally, to quote from the great John Lennon: "Life
is what happens while you're busy making other plans".
