That time of year

03-06-2009


Leaving Cert starts again this year and I am once again thankful that it is all behind me. Going on eight years now. Eight years since finishing school. A hell of a lot of stuff has happened in those years.

College, Friendships, Breakups, Jobs, Holidays, Relationships, Comedy.

Even with a concept of time that worked you would find that thought a little mad.

At least, after years and years and years of abuse and constantly having it pointed out to them, The Department of Education has finally listened and changed the format of the Leaving Cert a little.

Back in my day (ha, can actually use that phrase) you sat both English papers on the same day. Reams of writing had to be done, hands fell off arms and many is the student that learned to be ambidextrous so they could give one hand a break during the hours of pain.

All on the first day as well. Sadistic fucks!

Heard on the radio today that they have finally changed that. English Paper 1 is now paired with a technical paper, meaning hands get a little break finally.

Congratulations Government, at long last you manage to get something right when asked for it.
