(no subject)
How exciting is the "accepted" thing on ucas?! Very.
Whoa, has been a mad couple of days...
Thursday was such a mix of emotions for me because I was so disappointed when I got my results i literally just burst into tears and felt really sad because i knew i prob wdnt have got into any unis... rang my mum who is in ireland and told her what i got... she told me to ring birmingham so i did and they told me they had decided not to give me a place - unsurprisingly as i dropped two grades. so i rang my mum and told her that, and she started crying too which so didnt help my own hysterical tears, and i was gonna go straight home and work out how to use clearing without ringing reading as i figured id dropped a grade from my AAB offer and i didnt have a hope in hell of a place, but she made me ring reading to check....
so i ring reading and they say "oh we havent decided yet" WHAT?! okay so they put me through to the law department reluctantly after i am very forceful with the obviously confused student on the end of the phone to me... and then the woman at the law dept says she doesnt know and can i call back in a few days. um, no! so after being a bit more forceful she decides that they are going to offer me a place after all, cue more hysterical crying and the woman on the phone probably thinks i'm a total head case
so i call mum back, who by this point has rung half my family and they are all coming over to make sure im okay, and is practically booking herself onto the next flight home because shes worried im suicidal, and tell her ive got into reading - dont think ive ever heard her so relieved in my whole life
so, i was incredibly happy that i had got into reading - until i got home and the reality of the situation sunk in, i hadn't got into the university i had practically dreamed about going to for the last 9 months and i hadn't got an A in politics, the one subject i actually enjoy...
so i thought i'd go to sleep for a while as i, like most a level students!, had got v little sleep wed night but then kel invited me over to hers for bbq, got up and went over to hers and then paul asked me if me and jo wanted to join him and dan at the pub for a drink, so went up there for a bit and i think i was a bit mean to paul as i wasnt in the best of moods... lol.
later on katies was very fun when me sam and paul finally arrived back at about 10! i got there initially about 8 and then went over to tesco, supposedly meant to be in harefield for 9 at pauls to get a cab back to katies so that i had my car at pauls to drive home in the morning. it got to about 8.55 and we were at the check out, a bit late but cab not due til 9.15 so i thought we wd prob make it, turns out the woman in tesco is completely retarded and doesnt know the drinking age in england, apparently you have to be 21 to buy alcohol. anyway after a long argument with her and calling the manager over, she realises that you do actually have to be 18. retard.
anyway, turns out we didnt have to hurry anyway because the also retarded cab driver was like 40 minutes late or something.
katie- great party, was nice to be around everyone and everyone being so happy! well done to everyone for your results!
then after everyone had calmed down and seemed a bit more sleepy, me and paul got a cab back to his and i stayed there... was v fun hehe
finally dragged myself out of (pauls) bed friday morning long enough to drive home and fall back into (my) bed, got up about 4.30 still v tired and drove over to work, got money to bank for mum and had dinner...and then went out to cinema with paul... saw crash - quite good, but only because paul is cleverer than me and explained half a dozen things to me... lots of things were not made very obvious! either that or im thick/ was tired
me and paul then contemplated going to meet jo in town for a drink but decided against it and i went home... spoke to paul on phone and somehow ended up having a really horrible conversation and kinda arguing over absolutely fuck all which has put a bit of a downer on what was otherwise a great couple of days
tonight... supposedly was meeting paul if he decided not to go to windsor but now im thinking wd be better if he just went to windsor with his mates because of tht conversation
parents home tomorrow evening, have to pick them up
that reminds me, gotta check what time the flight is in at lol
anyway, well done to everyone for results, thank god we never ever have to walk up to that board EVER again :)
