I'm aware that I haven't posted anything in a couple of months. This is due to a couple of things including forgetting my Google password (I really should write these things down), being out with friends at parties/days out in Glasgow, getting my exam results, driving lessons and so on. I shouldn't worry too much about regularly posting anyway since I'm sure nobody follows this blog religiously, or at all for that matter. haha
So in recent news, I got my exams results (the final ones I'll receive from the SQA, thank goodness) and I got the grades that I needed to meet my university condition so as of September 2013, I will officially be a Full-Time Undergraduate English, Creative Writing & Journalism and History Student at the University of Strathclyde. Quite a mouthful I'll admit but yay! I'm so excited, nervous, daunted, doubtful, anxious, apprehensive and happy all at the same time. More than anything I'm just relieved to finally know what I'll be doing for the rest of the recent future.
I'm really looking forward to Freshers Week for obvious reasons (cheap booze and loads of fun events/parties) and to just throw myself into a new, unfamiliar environment and see if I can remember how to make new friends. I'm really looking forward to start studying too. I'm quite nervous for the first day since I'll be going from being among the oldest at secondary school to the babies again at university and I'll probably stumble about like a lost puppy trying to find the right lecture theatre, but I just need to keep reminding myself that no matter how cool some people may act, we're all in the same boat.
Since I am the first in my family to have gotten into university, I was treated to a giant cupcake (which my mum ate most of), congratulations cards from family which was really nice and a satchel from my great aunt. :)
I'm going to be so busy for the next couple of weeks because I have my driving theory test very soon, which I've been studying constantly for yet still only just missing the pass mark which has me on the verge of tearing my hair out. Then the day after my theory, I have a job interview at Primark - finally! After only about a year of applying for jobs everywhere and anywhere and hearing nothing back I finally have an interview, hooray! It's just a weekend job but it would be a good opportunity to earn some extra pocket money while I'm at uni so I really hope I get it. THEN the day after my interview, I jet off to Gran Canaria for a week! Then when I come home from that I imagine I'll be busy getting ready for starting uni.
I'm planning on (maybe and hopefully) buying an iPad and/or an SLR camera which will encourage me to update on here more often so I'll keep updating about that.
