The Leaving Cert has been completely forgotten in our house. It’s all about Martin Burke and the stupid Debs. In a way, I am glad, because my studying has been so rushed and halfhearted that I will never succeed in the exams. In another bigger, private way, I am very disappointed, because nobody cared enough to try to make me study. I suppose I didn’t care enough about myself, either. Nobody cares about the outcome of my exams. It makes me feel like a very inconsequential thing.
