Now that the initial ohmygosh-am-I-going-to-get-any-offers wait is over, I feel a bit lost... Don't get me wrong, I don't miss the anxiously refreshing my inbox every three minutes side of it, I just feel like now I'm just sitting around waiting for exam results which, although I can study as hard as possible for them, ultimately I can't control.
Right now I'm channelling all my energy into my maths and sociology lessons which are the highest point-earners for my course, basically if I get really good grades in those two subjects I'll be fine. I have an update and realistic plan set out so I just need to do hundreds of mock exam papers (literally) to make sure I'll excel in those two subjects and get the grades I need in the others. Basically unless I have a meltdown on the exam days (which is a possibility given my track record that I won't go into) I'll be just fine. And if said meltdown does happen I should be able to get a note from my doctor so that either those grades will be forgotten or I can sit the exam again. So I'm pretty much covered, she says...
With regards to the application process, there isn't much going on because all offers have been answered. I'm going to fill out my student finance forms once I've done the necessary paperwork with a UK bank and that'll be that sorted (ha ha!). I'm sure it won't be quite that simple, but stranger things have happened! I was honestly expecting the whole UCAS thing to be a lot more traumatic than it has been for me, I know I've been lucky. I would say the hardest part was clicking the submit button and knowing that there was no going back, then spending night after night going over my personal statement over and over again giving myself reasons as to why I wouldn't offer myself a place at university...
I'm sure you're all getting answers from unis left write and center, let me know how you're all getting on by commenting bellow!
