I have news

[theron09]

I'm going to try typing this out for the second time seeing as my internet decided to crash on me :/

Hey guys. How are you all? I hope you're all having an awesome weekend! 

So, last night I finally confirmed my decision about which uni course I want to apply for. I don't know why I waited so long because I've known which one I want to do for ages but I guess it all just sort of seemed so final and I wanted to wait and be sure that it was the right course for me and that I didn't change my mind. Anyway, once I did that my Mum and I applied for my student finance so it's all feeling like it's actually happening now which is awesome and scary and I really hope we didn't make any mistakes on the form.

On a semi-related note, I have this horrible feeling that I'm supposed to be on Pack Holiday (with the Brownies) when Freshers Week starts. If Freshers starts on the Monday then I'll be fine but if it starts on the Saturday then I have a problem. I've already said I'll do Pack Holiday and I think I need to go for part of my leadership qualification BUT I obviously don't want to miss Freshers because it'll make it harder to make friends and Freshers is a part of the whole experience. I just really hope the dates work out alright :/

I've just finished doing my homework for the weekend which is good becuse now I have this afternoon and tomorrow to do what I want to do :D Technically, I should try and look for some sources for my history coursework as well but I'm still struggling to find any. Anyway, I'm going to start doing some writing once I've finished with this post.

Tonight, my Mum and sister and I are going to go through lots of leaflets and stuff to try and work out what we want to do on our holiday. We're going away for a week during the Easter holidays, staying in a cottage at Loch Lomond which should be awesome. I think there's a chance we won't get internet out there, though, which means I'll have to wait until we get back to watch Supernatural which means that my hellatus is going to be a week longer than everyone elses!

The week after that is my birthday. I think I've worked out what I want. I was in town with my Mum the other day and we got this gorgeous leather bomber jacket so my Grandma and Grandad are giving me that :) And then my Mum and I are going to go halves on a laptop because I really need a new one. The one that I have keeps freezing and lots of the letters on the keyboard aren't clear anymore and things like that. Plus, I wanted to get a new one for starting uni anyway so it's a good chance to do that. It does mean I'm going to have to spend  a lot of time putting my stories and icons and music and school files onto disc so that I can put them all onto my new laptop. I better start doing that soon!

Sorry...I'm rambling again!

Are you moving away for uni? I regret staying at home even though it meant no student loans. Birthdays are fun :) mine's not 'til May but I am looking forward to it - it's on a Sunday so I have booked the weekend off work and then the weekend after I'm going away to Yorkshire with my family for a week. I'll be 22, which in itself is a ridiculous idea!

I'm at work right now on my lunch break. *Hugs*

Nope, I'm staying at home. It is helpful in terms of money but I kind of always wanted to anyway. I'm not an overly adventurous person and I'm really close to my family and I'd hate to leave Kizzie and stuff. Plus, Newcastle is an awesome city to study in anyway :)

Sounds like you're going to have fun in May!

*sends you thoughts of Dean to get you through work*

*huggles*

At least you don't have the stress of settling down somewhere new, dealing with flatmates... ;) Thoughts of Dean! Thank you. <3 Although daydreaming about Dean always distracts me too much. Hehe. Back to work, speak later.

Btw you should do the 'hell' survey thing I posted on my profile. I am going deep into hell, Meg!

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's very true.

Haha, I might give it a try if I get the time :D

Wheeee, holidays = more photos! ;-D

Looks like everything's going to work out just fine and you didn't need to worry! ;-D

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Haha, exactly! I have a few more photos from days out, actually. I might get around to posting them at some point :)

Yep :) I'm just a bit worried that my Mum's going to spend too much on me when she doesn't have it to spend :(

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Mum's tend to do that. ;-)

My internet is stupid, too and ate my comment.

What course did you decide on?

Freshers week will start on the Monday because most students will be moving in during the weekend. You'll get the dates and times anyway or you might be able to check their website. I know Sheffield has term dates years in advance. Try and go to any events since it might be fun (I never went to any).

I'm glad it's not just my internet!

I've went for Combined Honours in English Literature and History - it's an AAA course but my offer is BBB because of the scheme.

That's what I was hoping :) I'm going to try and take part as much as I can - I think that, with living at home and not at halls, I'm going to have to be more proactive in terms of getting out there to make friends.

[ai-kizu.livejournal.com]

Oh lucky you. What is the Scheme though?

That is a great attitude to take :3. My friend did the same and there is always staying over at someones.

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Basically, I get the lower offer but have to pass a summer school. I'll be in lectures and stuff for two weeks over the holidays and then have to hand in a piece of work to be assessed. So, on one hand my friends will al; be relaxing while I'm working but, on the other, I get to meet people who will be on my course and get to know the uni before September.

Well, I'm usually really bad about going out and socialising so I'm going to make an effort to change...I think starting university is a good time to start trying to be more confident :)

Luckily, I don't have to worry about the accomodation side of it :) Eeeek...I'm trying not to think about how close the exams are! It's so scary.

Haha, Easter should be fun :) Not sure when I'm going to find the time to revise but I guess I'm going to have to! Are you doing anything over the holidays?

Haha, I love leather jackets XD I can't wear mine until my birthday, though, lol!

[theron09.livejournal.com]

English Literature and History XD

[theron09.livejournal.com]

It is XD

[akintay.livejournal.com]

Congrats on deciding on your courses. It's always a huge step to make a decision like that!

which means I'll have to wait until we get back to watch Supernatural which means that my hellatus is going to be a week longer than everyone elses!
Haha, I'm pretty people would think you're insane for thinking about stuff like that but I always feel the same way :P Supernatural has obviously taken over our lives!

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) The stupid thing is that I've known for ages what I want to do, I just haven't been able to bring myself to make it official!

Haha...Supernatural has totally taken over! I'm glad I'm not the only one XD

How are things going in Wales?

[akintay.livejournal.com]

Things are going pretty well for me :) We have a month off now, which is awesome because I have a long-ish paper to write and my bb fic! And I can travel around and see a few places. :D I'm really, really enjoying my time here so far!

[theron09.livejournal.com]

I'm really glad to hear that!

Oooh, let me know if you're going to be near my neck of the woods! (Newcastle)
