So these last 3 weeks haven't been great. In short I've only been to school for 2 days which consisted of my leaving the first after two hours and the second of my leaving after 4 hours.
You already know what happened the first week (If not then click here) but in brief here is what happened the second week and what is going on now.
Sun 26th
Had horrible abdominal pain, ended up in emergency room.
Mon 27th
Turns out stomach pains were contractions. Delivered a baby. LOL JK got my appendix removed. Unfortunately there some complications.
Fri 2nd
After almost completely losing sanity, I was finally discharged with some conditions. Mainly that I remain at home resting for another week.
So today is the 5th and I'm going crazy. I recently discovered that I also cant push myself. My mummy has been helping me to have a shower since the surgery and this morning I attempted to wash my own hair. As I began shampooing I became increasingly light headed and exhausted. So it looks like I'll be depending on mummy a while longer which actually drives me nuts. I do so enjoy my independence.
So with missing so much school work the real question is will I be repeating or not?
I actually think students are at a higher advantage if they repeat. I have a friend currently repeating her leaving cert and her grades are allot better than anyone in my class. Yes we're in the same class.
So yeah I think she definitely has an advantage over us.
Think about it! You'd know what's coming so it completely eliminates the element of surprise & anxiety! Plus you would have your course completely finished so you could work most of your energy on preparing exam question!
There is however the negative side! In English there would be some new poetry and play. In maths there would be two new strands. But still though, I guess where there is a will there is a way.
So should I not get my points I think I would most definitely repeat my leaving cert!
Oh and if you want to know more about the surgery and it's complications, I'll post a video later because it's easier than typing it all out. lol
So there you go that's what's going on! This leaving cert is proving to be a bigger battle then I thought!
Repeating should be the last thing on your mind though, my Dad said that to me when I was saying "Will I repeat or not" He got mad at me saying "Do not even THINK about it" and gave valid reasons. Psychologically it will affect you in your studies and you could become complacent. Yes I know you have complications and that, but I will say try your best and you have plenty of time to catch up (I still got my 1st choice even though I didn't study until after Easter btw :P). Just a bit of Encouragement, I'm sure you WILL survive!! Go Jessy!!!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you for the support. However the way that I see it is that repeating is not the easy way out. Repeating will be twice as hard but I will also be twice as committed and determined than I am now. Everyone (at my school anyway) speaks of the LC as doomsday and if you don't get it right the first time you won't get it. But I think they are wrong. Pending my results, I will repeat until I get what I want. I don't want to take a course that I know I will regret (:
