Wake up at 7am. Get ready by 8am. Off to train at 8.40am. Get to station 20 mins early at 9am. Train cancelled. Panic. Driven really quickly to Grindleford for the train at 9.30am. Train late, fortunately. Get on train at 9.35am. Waited. Waited some more. Over 100 people get on train. Told that train to Sheffield has been cancelled, and everyone's going back to Manchester. Get to Edale. Hang about for 20 mins. Sheffield people get off at last. Train sets off. Finally arrive in Manchester, now at the wrong station, Piccaddily at 11am. The Event starts at 11.05am. Screwed. Try to find way to Oxford Road. Fail miserably. Finally get to Oxford Road at 11.45am. Find the building at 12am. Told to come back at 12.50am since everyone's on a tour. Go off to McDonalds. Come back at 12.50am. Had a few presentations, demonstrations and tours. Had an interview. Went fine. Offered a place. Had another tour. Conclusion. Coat goes on at 4pm. Called back. Told that Computing and ICT courses were too similar, so they're knocking 100 points of my UCAS points. I no longer qualify. Pushed out of the door (metaphorically). Almost missed train time because of that. Got on train, running late, of course. Got to Sheffield at 5.50pm. Had a very weird conversation with some girl going to Norwich. Got to Chesterfield at 6.05pm. Home by 6.15pm.
Story of my life! (and its freezing in here!)
Update at 20:10 - I'm eating pizza! I've just come to painful realisation that I shaved for squat!!
