It’s well known that the Easter Holidays is where Leaving Certs are either made or where they come crashing down to earth with an awful crash! To some, this two week period is where they finally get down to business and realise that they can’t spend the next three months doing nothing but tidying their room! To others, it’s business as usual and there’s two edges to this sword - most will continue studying as they have been since September - others will continue to go out, continue to tidy their room, basically continue to do nothing!

Personally, I unfortunately fall into the latter category - I realise that I must do work and with the orals being a mere week away there’s never been a time when the need for such work has been so obvious and apparent! In fact, realising the overall scale and scope of what needs to be done doesn’t inspire you to study. Instead, it appears as a mammoth mountain far into the distance that you believe to be unconquerable and rather cowardly I find myself choosing to hesistate to rise to the challenge knowing that my chances of conquering this mountain are frighteningly slim.

I must admire those who do indeed rise to the challenge but tragically I’d rather do badly of my own choosing rather than do badly having put in the effort.
