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.

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.
