So it's official. At 12 O' Clock Tuesday night this all got real. Six years in the making and we've finally been given full dates and times. I came into school on Wednesday morning and I was faced with a harsh reality as I was promptly informed that the Examinations.ie website had put up the official Leaving Certificate 2014 timetable. If it hadn't hit me before that I was in 6th year it certainly hit me on Wednesday! Before now I have always thought of the Leaving Cert as something that was "yonks" away. Months down the road. But now that opinion has completely changed . Once I saw that timetable everything changed. Suddenly I felt a massive lump in my throat. A feeling I have never felt before about school. I usually have an extremely calm personality and I'd be fairly laid back about things. But this really hit me. This time six months it will all be over. I won't walk in here every morning and have a catch up with the girls. Nor will I be able to have the banter with all the Kilkenny girls coming up to the Hurling Championship about how Waterford will finally win the All Ireland (Which will definitely happen next year!). I won't be able to put on my uniform every morning and get all excited about the fact that I'm getting to spend the day with my friends. Everything will be completely different. And last Wednesday, when I saw that timetable that's all that entered my head. How will I manage without my friends? Am I mature enough to move on? Will I be happy? But then it hit me....... Of course I'll miss my friends. Of course I'll miss coming into school everyday and soaking in everything I'm taught (Especially English!) and all the craic that comes with it but now is the time to enjoy that. Now is the time to enjoy being young and free so instead of worrying about what will be happening this time six months, I'm going to enjoy the time I have left here. I'll enjoy the nights with the girls getting dressed up and going for a dance in the disco. I'll enjoy the days getting up, putting on my uniform and coming into school. But most of all I'll enjoy the few months I have remaining with all the amazing friend's I have made over the past six years. Because lets face it........ they're a pretty amazing bunch of people!!

Really Nice Post, very nostalgic and personal. Definitely a nice idea to have a few posts like this in sixth year to capture the journey you've all undergone. Way to take a positive approach to the angst and stress. Best of Luck!
