UCAS

The UCAS online system is as efficient as the British System of Public Transport!

It tells you what to put in, you put what it told you in, you think you're finished.
You submit the application, and then it tells you where you went wrong. But the great part is that once you've submitted your application, you CAN'T EDIT IT!
So it is telling you to edit it, when that is just the impossible!

I would have had the thing off and posted by the end of October if it weren't for the fncked up system that they use!

Oh, and it has an error with the Course start date. If you course starts in September 2008, and you put September 2008, then it may tell you that the start date you have entered is INVALID!!!

Oh the pain of it all!

University

So I'm applying to do European Studies / European Studies with German / German and European Studies / European Politics With German at 5 different universities:

<> Aberystwyth
<> Kent
<> Loughborough
<> Leicester
<> Essex

I decided not to apply to Swansea, as the Uni was quite run down, and the accommodation was offsite (as with Leicester).

Scream

You probably know what it feels like when you are down and you feel so low you just want to scream out loud so that all the world can hear you...
Exams coming up, and I've never tried going through anything like this without the extra support you have with a girlfriend. Someone you can talk to about everything. Someone that understands you and knows exactly what to stay to make you feel better. Something I feel I've only shared once, truly. And then I have to try and scrape through A levels to get to the next level - life really could not be any more like a game.
To pass level 1 you have to do this - cant fail. Level 2 is harder and involves more thinking. You have to be really determined to beat level 3, and do some obscure tasks. Then level 4 seems really easy on the surface, but once you start it it is almost impossible to complete. Then you do it. And level 5 is the same, and every time you think that you are about to complete the level, there is something else to do, and another thing and another thing. and then right when you feel you have definitely definitely finished, you die. Game Over. and that is it.
Well I want my life to be different. Free from the system... but that just won't happen. not in this world or any other. Oh how great is life!

Skiing Embarrasment

Oh the horror of me skiing! - This was the only time over the week that this happened, and Jana happened to get it on camera!

Hair Cut!

Those of you who see me regularly will have seen the extent of my Hair Growing experiment. (Right: Me on Feb 21st 2007, wearing Jenni's glasses).
But now I know how easy it is to grow long flowing locks, and I can do it again if I want to, I have decided that a shorter look is in order, which will probably last me through to next Autumn.
So today I went to the Crop Shop and had a new do. I asked for something that was a bit like my hair last summer , when it was quite a bit shorter (see second image from Sept 06).
The outcome was shorter still but I'm liking it. I shall upload some a picture after Monday, so its still a surprise to everyone.
