One of the biggest days of my life tomorrow

**liam88** · 16/08/2006, 8:52 PM

...A LEVEL RESULTS IN JUST OVER 11 AND A HALF HOURS!

I'm so scared -this can change so much; university, career, self-confidence and the enjoyment of the rest of my summer are all on the line.....

I've said my prayers and I'm trusting God and the work I put in!

But I'm still so scared!

Jeez, I thought you were getting married there for a minute!

Ach, no worries there Liam. You'll be just fine. Nothing anyone else doesn't go through the night before results come out. This time Friday, you'll be trying to jump into bed, the next time it comes around that is!

Too late to do anything about it now anyway!

I'm sure you'll be a happy man this morning Liam and if they didn't go like you planned then hey...life's too short to be worrying about what it says on a bit of paper. You can always re-sit if needs be.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll have done brilliantly.

Whats dem subjects?

I noticed that while were 54k Leaving Cert students here only approx 300k A Level students in england. By weigh of population should be 500k+ A Level students in england.

Is there that many people not finishing school in England?

**carrickharp** · 17/08/2006, 1:08 PM

Well done kid, all the best with college life!

Yeah, I have relatives over there and I know their exams leaves you more more options than the leaving cert.
