Final Term

It is the eve of my return to school after the Easter Holidays - it is also my return to secondary school for my final term ....ever !!! This is shocking - I can not fathom the fact that I have spent 5 years in secondary school- 5 years is an awfully big part of someone life, but these past five years have gone so quickly that I can not grasp it!!
 I remember going into 1st year - terrified , not thinking I would mix with the other girls, wondering if I would be in the same class as my friends , would I make new friends? would I have good teacher? would they like me ?!?! All insecure feelings of course but what would you expect from a 13 year old !! Back then the leaving cert was so far away , the leaving cert students then were to be idolized , they were cool, sophisticated , older so clearly wiser then us !!
But now , in the final lap of Leaving Cert, with Orals and Practicals right at my door step , I am filled with this surreal feeling - can I really be in Leaving Cert ???Am I older and wiser now ? I don'r really feel any wiser !!  I am 18 now - an adult , shocking !! I have my graduation approaching , then the big smoke ( LC) then I am done.... a free woman!!!!
Every time I think of summer I get this tingling feeling in my heart- it is so so close I can almost taste it - so now I need to work and hard- to reach that goal , to get to summer and to be free!!

So wish me luck ! This is the biggest hurdle of my life so far and I plan to run at it with all I've got- I may not be the smartest person in my year but I am going to try my best !!! *Deep Breath* .
