The day started off great. Got up, had breakfast, sat down, had a few cans and watched The Deer Hunter with pecker. I don�t know where everyone else was. Joe and dave were playing FIFA somewhere and I don�t know about the girls. The film was very good, I�d never seen it before, but it went on for nearly 3 hours. I started to get ready around half 2. Around that time, JP had informed us of himself and his wallet parting company. I think Joe gave him a spin home when I was having my shower, shit and shave! I wasn�t long getting ready. I had to wear my suit again so I was happy enough, apart from the tie which was choking me.
We arrived in the college around half 3. We got delayed because Pecker had forgotten his dress. But we eventually touched down, ironically beside Joe�s other car. We headed off in, put on our dresses and started chatting to the rest of the class that was around. The time wasn�t long passing and we were in the hall in no time. I met the parents in there. They managed to get a seat right at the front. And that turned out to be a bad thing. I�ll tell ye all why soon. Some geezer gave a speech first and soon our class got the certs. We had to sit clapping then while the rest of the students picked up they�re certs. Once they were handed out, more speeches followed and then it was award time. Cue me. I was first up. I got my picture taken with my �150 cheque. I knew I�d won something but my parents didn�t. And I didn�t know that there was money until Pecker pointed it out to me. So I was happy. Remember I said my parents were in a bad position, well this is why. Because they didn�t know about the award, they were surprised or shocked or something. And I had to get back to my seat by walking past them. And I had to shake hands with them and they were trying to talk to me. I had to sit down. Other people wanted awards. But I wasn�t long in my seat until I had to get up again for another award. Student of the Year it was. It even sounds funny. Actually, it�s a joke. A �500 joke. Ha ha. I got money!! I was definitely happy now. Once again, handshakes all round and then, it was all over. Time for pictures. Got 2 pictures taken professionally before my mother and Maura took a few extra ones. Once all that was finished, the parents left and I headed for the Davin for dinner and booze.
