The best feeling in the world, is crying tears of joy. I experienced that today and I can most definitely and surely tell you that there is no better feeling, than the feeling of getting what (or slightly better than) what you aimed to achieve.
Sitting there in the sea of blue and white, I felt so at home again hahaha. Everyone looked uneasy, unsure, distressed, you name it. I felt..........apathetic, slightly relaxed and well, calm.
Then....it was the principal's address (as usual). I was pretty psyched when all the names of the people that scored 7 distinctions came out. I expected my name to be there. Sadly, it wasn't. I was pretty bummed out. I was already calculating scores in my head i mean there were people getting 10 points and their names were still up on that screen. "Fifteen....sixteen" hahaha i expected myself to get above 12. I mean what were the odds that i score 6 distinctions right??
Then i saw myself looking at all my classmates receiving their results. Slowly...the hall filled up with tears. Everyone was crying. I still felt apathetic. In my head i tried to figure how i would react to my results.
And then it was my turn.
"Okay...this is your leaving cert. Sign here."
"Okay"
"This is your cca cert. Sign here"
"Okay"
"Okay now i'm going to give you your results slip. Sign here"
"Okay"
"How much do you expect yourself to get?"
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm (in my head i'm like, okay i can't say 15 thats to low i can't say 6 thats too high she's gonna think i'm stupid because i'll never reach that) ten??"
*teacher shows huge ass smirk*
"Wait ah....lemme count"
"Okay"
"****"
"WHAT. ARE YOU SERIOUS"
Immediately i took my cert and ran to my mom who was seated right at the back. I started crying like crazy i didn't even look at my results slip. In my whole life, i had never cried tears of happiness before. NEVER. And today i felt it. It felt so fucking great. Soooo fucking amazing.
"You crying coz happy or sad?!?!?!"
"HAPPY :') :') :')"
Then i took a look at my cert.
6. Fucking. As. Staring straight at me. Oh. My. God.
To everyone taking Os this year. Study hard and work hard. Honestly, hard work truly does pay off.
