Well, today was the very last school day for all the years, and also it was the awards day, so I went in. It was nice to get away from the books for a while. But the first thing I saw was a Gardai car parked outside the school. When I went in I said, 'Why are the guards here?'

I said there was no coloured paper and we should just cut the letters out of white ( Read more... )

A guy from around here recently died in a motorcycle crash, and the funeral was today. A lot of students went to the funeral, and others had gone to an athletics thing in Sligo, so things were kind of quiet in the school. By the end of the day there were maybe fifty students left in the whole school and had all sort of gravitated to the computer ( Read more... )
