Eh, thoughts on meeting peers from the old school

Coming up soon is the Debs. The place where us Leaving Certs meet up again for one last time as a year group. We've gone through the six years of secondary school together and have all suffered the same road and we are all mentally linked by this road. A link in which we will always come back and say, yes, we went through that together...

It is the time where we have all moved on from our secondary school into College or where ever else, be it repeating the leaving to get that bit better to get into the course your heart desires, or going straight into a job, or drawing the live register. What ever floats your boat. At this stage we all know what we are moving onto. It is going to be both nice and interesting to see where everyone has moved onto. Some people will surprise you with where they have gone, others won't surprise you as much. It's a fact of life really...

The other interesting thing I will be watching out for is what date certain people have brought. Some people have an obvious date, their boyfriend or girlfriend who they love dearly and whole heartedly. And then there are others who you can't imagine having any interest in the opposite gender. I'm not saying they are homosexual, but just don't seem to me to have an interest in getting to know a member of the opposite sex. These are the people I am keen on seeing, or rather, their dates are who I'd like to see...

For some people they may not bring a date, which is perfectly fine, either they couldn't find one, even after asking about. Or the people who got shot down. Or even the people who had too much choice to begin with. All these people are accounted for and it's probably best, just as long they are around friends they enjoy and have a great time. THAT'S what the Debs is about.

But there are the people who won't bring dates and just go with their friends as dates. Have fun! Once again, that's what it's all about... the FUN and BANTER...
