I don't think I'm ever actually going to get to go to University. I filled in my Acceptance statement for UoB over a week ago, sent it off, but I have receieved
nothing in the way of a reply, which is really frustrating. It's been almost five weeks since I got my results, and since then I have been in a state of apprehension and uncertainty, not knowing where I'm going to go, and every time I think I have got something sorted out, everything changes, or nothing happens and I have to wait and see again. It annoys me because I just want something to happen, one way or the other, so I know what I'm going to be doing for the next twelve months. It's been almost....exactly three months since my last big exam, and another month on top of that since my last proper lessons. I know a normal person would probably love all that free time, but without friends to hang out with, parties to go to and good movies to see it's been basically me, and a book, or the computer, or the TV, or my ipod for twelve weeks. I want to do something! That said, as soon as I have three books to read, or a 5,000 word essay to complete over a weekend, I'll long for this time when I had nothing but time to relax etc.
I've started packing anyway, because I might have to pick up and leave at any time within the next few days. When I spoke to the Head of the English dept on the phone earlier this month, he said registration was on the 28th (I think, I hope), so who knows how fast I'm going to have to get up there if/when the time comes. I just hope I'll be able to get an internet connection if/when I get there, because no contact with the outside world (via my beautiful new laptop) will be the last straw! :P
Anyway, good news, the Lost finale is on tonight! Only... *calculates* 8 hours to go! I doubt it'll answer enough questions to satisfy me until the next series (which hasn't even started in the US yet, to my knowledge), but the promo's look exciting enough, so I hope it'll be good!
