Venting

I haven't blogged in what seems like forever and the only explanation I can give is that nothing has really been going on. I mean last wednesday I changed what I was doing at Uni; Again. And when I tell people many are like, 'how did you manage that?!?' It seems very few (i.e. None) are aware of the UCAS Extra scheme, whereby if a person receives no offers, they can add another option. So I went on my merry was and last Tuesday emailed Plymouth Uni to ask if they still had places on their C100 course, also known as Biological Sciences. I chose that course because at the end of the 1st year, you have the option to transfer into their Peninsula School of Medicine. Which is great! It means that for the low low price of two B's and a C, I can get to do what I want to do and only have to go to uni for another year. Six years isn't too bad is it? :S lol


The only problem is that I neglected to tell my mum about this change of plan. In her head I'm still going back to college for a year and hoping that I can defer my offer from Glamorgan. Unfortunately this isn't the case. You can't defer offers, which means that if I don't get a place at Plymouth, I can just be like 'oh dear, I can't defer it. I'll just have to reject it' unbeknownst to my mum that I'd rejected that offer months ago. That's all sorted, I'm still not sure what I'm going to tell her if I do get a place. I can't just turn round one day and say that 'woo! I got an offer from Plymouth Uni to do a subject you didn't know I'd applied for!'


You see, at the time, I weighed it in my mind and decided that because it was at the uni I wanted to go to and because it gave me access to the course I wanted to do, it was a smart move. I do wish that I'd discussed it with mum first. Even though she'd have had a hard time wrapping her head around it XD




And today was Joe's birthday :) I felt really bad because a) I wasn't 'allowed' to get him a birthday present (we'd decided that I needed to save for Portugal) and b) He was spending his 18th birthday just at my house with me, rather than going out like he probably wanted to. With my mother no less XD. But yeah, I'm hoping I made him feel a little better :P. But I made him a birthday cake, a supposed chocolate fudge cake (it really wasn't XD) decorated with a crushed up flake and mini eggs. It was good, probably the best one I've made so far, I always had a tendency to burn the cake XD. Especially that time I made one when Joe was at my house and he dragged me off while it was cooking and either the timer didn't go off or we were too busy to hear it.


I'm getting rather excited of late when I think that next year I shall be living with Joe :) I'm hoping that for the first year of the Medicine course I will be based in Plymouth. Because with that one you move each year between Plymouth Exeter and Truro. None are particularly far away, Plymouth is pretty much equidistant from each. And it's like a £5 return. So I may commute, or I'll live in the halls for the week when I'm not in plymouth and go home at weekends. By home I mean with Joe, not home home. I don't know, there's too much to think about, I might not have even got in. So yeah, growing up pretty much sucks.


I think I've vented enough for a while, that's just what's been on my mind of late.


Much loves, especially to Mr Joe Reid ♥
