Have broken my promise and have done very little of dissertation due to my book not being finished. Fucking fantastic.

I found out this morning. I didn't get in to Oxford.

Their loss mate. Are you ok?

I dunno yet. I've been apathetic, angry and upset. I'm getting all teary now actually. Being agirl fucking sucks ^_~

I dunno. I just...I had started to believe I actually might have got in. Sorta knocked me for six, with regards my dissertation. I feel I've let everybody down, y'know?

I miss you D. What date are you home again?

I am home on the 16th.

*Jawdrop* Nooooo! WTF?? How could this be? Oxford is SO missing out.

You know what this means. You'll just end up somewhere better. =^^=

Or maybe you'll come here for school and we'll be flatmates. Wouldn't that be SCARY?

Must get your prezzies mailed out!

Oxford is SO missing out. So June said too ^_~

I dunno. It was my own fault for getting so 'into' the idea of going to uni there, I guess. But I've already composed a letter. It reads
"Dear Oxford,
go fuck yourself
Kathryn"

Get's all the major points in ^_^

Haha, someone suggested I should look at going to uni in America, ages ago. That would be scary. And undeniably cool too.

Pressies? *Perks up* *Kicks self to shops and post office*

Dear, I'm so sorry. I know that that sort of thing is truly awful. The whole college application process is an ungodly depressing and draining business, in my experience.

I only applied to two schools, both of which seemed to be very eager and interested in me from my experience at Portfolio Day. However, I'd be needing some serious funds if I wanted to go to either, so I filled out every application for financial aid and scholarships on the face of the planet. When I heard from the schools, I'd been accepted to both, but neither was willing to give me any sort of financial aid at all. It's as if they wanted me, but they didn't want me enough to make it so that I could actually attend their school. Or that they'd only pretended to want me so that I'd apply and they could get my money. Either way, I felt cheated and it was a real blow to my self-esteem. Still is, really. Only, now, I am at one of those schools. I'll just be paying off loans till I'm ninety and my parents have to miss out on a lot.

Anyway, I'll not bore you further with my sob stories. I'll just say that I understand it's not fun ("Nine out of ten critics agree . . . The college application process is a right bitch and a half") and that I wish you all the best. Feel better, dear.

It was bloody rotten. Especially as I had to try and focus on schoolwork after it. Ungodly it is. Bastards *Shakes fist as UCAS*

Urgh, that so, so fucking horrible! I've heard universitys are like that. The only reason I'll be able to afford my first year of uni is compensation money I got when I was a child. That's going towards my university funds. :'(
*Growls* Loans! Banks! The entire fucking bastarding system. Bollocks to it all!

No, no, do bore me with your sob stories! I want to here. Thank you so much, it means a lot to me, it really does. I'm on the way to feeling better.

Oh, sis...
*hugs*
It doesn't mean that you're any less talented or bright than those people who were accepted at Oxford. And, as you know by now -- their loss. Stupid school. =/

Hey, I know the feeling of being rejected by a school. First it felt awful, then I figured, oh well; *I* know what I'm capable of even if *they* don't. And you are MUCH brighter than I am. My high school grade report is a joke, due to too much roleplaying during weekends. =^^=

So... where are you going instead? Have you any idea?

Wishing you all the best...
Love, Zal

It makes me think so. I dunno. I guess, at least I know now instead of finding out after I get my results? That's a bit better.

Oh my glorious slacker sister, I do love you!

I've been offered a place at Queens in Belfast, which I was pleased about (also I didn't remember applying there 0.o haha) and I'm waiting on other universities to get back to me. Especially Durham in England and the London School of Oriental and African Studies.

*pouncehug* I love you Zal, thankies *Purr*
