I've just chosen a University for next year, as usual this was left to the last minute (I think the deadline is Thursday or something, but I've been putting it off for months now).

Sitting looking at my choices I had the sinking feeling none of them really appealed. I could ditch them all and start again but this would just require too much work, and cause too much fuss. The kind of stubborness which would keep me walking if I was lost, instead of asking for directions.

I feel kinda depressed now. I *hate* making big decisions, and I just sat there thinking "y'know, this will probably effect the rest of your life". And I chose it in three minutes just to get it over with.

I am looking forward to Uni, don't get me wrong. New people, new place, not getting up to go the same School/Sixth Form I've been going to for the last seven years now. But I've always hated change. Maybe there's something wrong with me but as much as I despise where I live and my dull routine, I'm used to it. Seeing people I've known all my life everyday. It has a sort of cosiness to it. Something I don't know I'll find at Uni.

Saying that after a fortnight there I'll probably feel like I've been there forever.

This probably should have gone in my diary with my other teenage angstyness :S Oh well. Uni people please feel free to post how spiffing life is there.

I can say with absolute certainty that you are possibly wrong.

York want an AAB from me, which I shall easily get :P Already got one a-level A grade in Maths. Leaving me to get an A and a B from either, FurtherMaths, Computing or Physics. And I should easily get an A in Computing after that Cwk i've just submitted. So just a B is required from the other 2. But its no time to get complacent.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'm off to Sussex in Sept/Oct to do Anthropology, which will be nice. I'm really looking forward to it, especially the whole uni-life thing, but also the course as well. Perhaps I'll take my 2nd year out to do ethongraphy at Lincoln University and visit gamesfreak and FFF! Hurrah!

Ah York scared me and they gave me AABB which was frankly seriously harsh. Think I shall just stick to good old Edinburgh. Plenty of people from school are going there but uni is big enough that I can keep up with people I like and lose all the annoying people. :)
