The Leaving

... And we'll all get fat!

(Not the traditional rhyme, I know, but who eats goose anymore anyway?)

Anyway, we did the traditional 6th year sketch in our schools' Christmas concert last Friday, it was good, considering we only started to organise it the day before!! Then, for a bit of relaxation (and a Christmas party) I hit the town on Saturday night. I have to say it was great to forget about school and work and just dance away with my friends. Surprisingly, loads of 6th years were out too. Is it just our alcoholic year or do many 6th years around the country turn to alcohol as a release? Saying that, I found myself talking to a guy I know in NUIG about courses, points and accommodation. Does it ever stop?

I find myself looking forward to next Friday, but also slightly dreading all the work I know I'll have to do over the holidays. I have to try fit in work and study around relaxation, my job, going ice-skating and going out. Maybe I can just sleep for 2 weeks then take another 2 weeks off?

Well, I'm not sure if I'll be on before Christmas (busiest time for butchers!), so Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy it! (I know I will ;) )
