Thursday thoughts.

Despite handing my English coursework in last Monday, life has still been trundling along at quite a relaxed pace with not a lot going on. I've figured out that going into college for first lesson and doing my homework there takes away a lot of unnecessary stress so I have time to read and do outside research and work for my subjects which is really great!

A few things that are/have been happening or running through my head recently: 

- Just over a month until my birthday - I'm so excited but scared to turn 18!
- I can't wait to start Uni; I drive past Reading in my lessons so it's just out of reach taunting me!
- I get to go to the British Museum with my Classics class after half term and I can't wait!
- I had to go to the hospital for a diabetic check up yesterday and they told me I have the option to see a psychologist for my needle phobia which might be a good thing, I haven't decided yet. 
- I've decided that when I get to Uni, I want flowers in my room. I don't have any in my room now and I think they're really pretty so I want some when I have a space that is 100% my own. 
- I've finally got a proper, close group of friends and I couldn't be happier! I always feel a bit detached from friendship groups so it's nice to be able to get this now.
- My love for American sweets has been rekindled, I can't believe I forgot how good they are! 
- My driving test is 4 weeks yesterday which is rather scary! I think I'm doing pretty well though and I hope I pass first time! 
- I have to go back to Cardiff and Birmingham Unis within the next two months and I'm excited because I get to look around them again! It will be difficult to choose between them.
- I still haven't heard back from Exeter Uni which is really annoying...I don't want to go there and I have to wait for them to reply which is stopping me from being able to do anything with the rest of my choices! Even if I wanted to go there, I would be put off by now purely because they're being so long with choosing! 

Hope you guys enjoyed reading this! It's nice to just put down my thoughts sometimes!

  1. I'm in the same position, I don't even want to go to Bristol but they haven't replied to me so I can't make me firm choices yet and I'm getting so impatient haha! I'm getting so excited about uni now, can't wait to go back for open days to get a proper feel of the place :D

    1. It's the worst! I just want it done now so I have the option to just sort it all out once I've visited my Unis! I know, I only chose Reading as my firm choice once I went for the visit day, it's such a great way to see what the unis are really like! I'm so unbelievably excited for uni, it's going to be great! xx

  2. I love Cardiff! I was there a few weeks ago for my interview and I loved it. I know how you feel. This is my second round and I'm still getting excited thinking about going and wanting to go back to places to have a better look! And then eventually going! Good luck on your driving text in a few weeks! It's great being able to drive I love it x

    1. It's so pretty but sadly I don't think the course it really right for what I want as they don't have a Classics department! The visit days are great fun, I'm so excited to return!
      Thank you, hopefully it goes well! It's amazing fun! x

    2. Ah fair enough, that is a very important part of it! It's why I'm now in my second run of UCA's haha, my first attempt failed because I was on totally the wrong course. Yeah I love them! I have one over half term that I'm really looking forward to. I prefer them to all the auditions I'm having to do. Your welcome :) I'm sure it will! It took me two attempts to pass mine but now I can't live without it. I drive to college/work everyday x

    3. Ooh, at least you dropped the course before it was too late! What are you going to study? :) I'm not going to take it until I'm 100% sure I'm ready so crossed fingers it goes okay! x

    4. Yeah I'm so glad I did! I've had two years since to decide what I defiantly want to do and I'm 150% sure this time haha. I'm going to do Theatre and Drama :) the great thing about the course is that I can not only do acting and performing I can look at different areas such as directing and lighting :) That's a good way, I took my first test after only 3 months because that was they 'system' the driving school worked by. So I'm glad I failed, I wouldn't have been ready to drive at that point x

  3. Thanks :) I just need to finish this year in college first! I know, I passed my final driving test about two days before my theory ran out! I left it rather late x

    3. I know I had a major freak out when I got the e-mail saying that they had to cancel the original one, knowing how close it was to running out! x
