Going it alone

Hey guys!

Sorry about the complete lack of posts recently…I’ve been buried in exam work, and then I went to 2 different open days and have just been crazily busy. But now I have nothing I have to don, am up to date on my homework (yay) so thought I’d settle down and write a post 🙂

Last week I went to University open days in Bath and Leeds and had such an amazing time. I loved both places and it’s made me so excited for going to Uni *hopefully* in just over a years time! I have a friend who is already at Bath so I had a vague idea of what it would be like, but I had no idea about Leeds. No-one I know has ever boon there, probably mainly because it’s a 5 hour drive away, and not famous enough that you would think of going there. I didn’t really know what to expect of it then, but I kinda imagined it being industrial and a bit grey and ugly (sorry). I was so wrong. It was such a pretty city, and the university and buildings looked so nice, they were over 100 years old, and just looked like how a university should look. So I’m very sorry for my prejudging/stereotyping of the city, and definitely want to apply there now!

Now these two open days were great because I went with my mum and we could go around together and talk to each other and just have someone else with me. But next week I’m going to two open days (Durham and Cambridge) on my own… I’m kinda excited about it because it will mean that any impressions I get will be mine, but at the same time I’m terrified because I’ll be all alone in a city I don’t know…and what if I get lost…or just look like a total loner!

But no. I’m focusing on the positives! I get to stay in uni accommodation the night before, and going on my own will be a great experience, after all, I want to go to uni on my own in just over a year, so I should be able to go for a single day alone 😉

Wish me luck!

Bye for now 🙂
