UCAS & Uni.

I said in my last post that I've spent the last two days having 'lectures' and talks about university applications through the UK system UCAS. These two days mark the start of the beautiful process that is applying to university. I'm honestly enthralled at the prospect.

Although I am desperate to go to university and leave home, I am not looking forward to the process of doing so, or the rejection I know will go along with it.

Basically the two days at school get seemed pretty much pointless. I feel like I already knew most of it, and I just feel like I could have spent my time doing something much more useful, like planning for EPQ or doing independent research, rather than being forced to fill in 'course comparison' worksheets - I already have a spreadsheet comparing them all, so why do it again?

Anyways, I'm off to Aston University in Birmingham tomorrow for a higher education fair, which I am actually looking forward to, I must admit. It might help me to decide on my 5 different options for uni, because my current list is in excess of 10 potentials, which I need to narrow down, otherwise I'm going to have trouble applying.

Anyone else out there going through the same thing as me? I'm sure its just as annoying and daunting, but hey, at the end of it, we'll all get to leave home and be by ourselves for once. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to that.

Seriously.

No offence Mum.
