Applying to universities

Well just to update I have had an offer from both Northumbria and Leeds, Leeds are currently arranging an interview for me next year, and for Northumbria I have to have 320 points :| yep, it was a random choice to be perfectly honest but I am more than happy that it is my first offer! Having spoken to a fellow friend who came back from university today, he told me how University is just the best, how the work is easy and how not to worry about the offers just yet as most of them accept you after Christmas, that was a great relief! After having the head of sixth form snatch him away from me I walked away with a tad bit of confidence that everything will be in good time!

Now I need to work my bum off. I need to motivate myself or else no grades therefore no university. Today I received a welcome pack from Northumbria which contains everything about accommodation and fees. That is all good but it is so far away, I really do want to be away from home but in my gut I feel it's maybe too far from home. What is there's an emergency or I leave something behind? It's in Newcastle, very up north but that's brilliant! New atmosphere, new people, for all I know I may live there in the future, who knows what this brilliant opportunity holds for me! I am very nervous about London though, I have always wanted to study there, it's not too far away, yes it's expensive but it's all worth it in the end! I really want to go to Westminster  I really do! I am so passionate about London life, the hustle and bustle of everything there, I'm not phased by the moral panics of crimes, hoods, knives. Nope, that's nothing to me, the expensive living costs don't bother me either, I honestly want to make the most of my loans and be a successful Journalist at the end of the day!

I think it's new and exciting to be away from home, it's time to prove that I can be an independent individual, that I can live away, be motivated for a career then be what I want to be! I want this so much, enthusiasm oozes out of every body part, I am aware that interviews mean I have to persuade them that I know everything about Journalism that there is to know! I need to revise and understand the concept of what is in the media, but I will be honest, I need to show them that I am here to learn. I am still a student, even lecturers are human beings they still have lots to learnt too, we all do. No one is 'all knowing' are they? I need to up my game.

Motivation is hard. Every teenager has this lurking in them somewhere, some show their lack of effort more than others do. Parents/teachers automatically label this as being 'lazy'. No it's not that. It's just hard to process the seriousness, the pressure, it's like a ticking clock, then at the end the bomb will blow but we're just waiting and waiting because eventually it'll blow anyway no matter how hard to try to stop it.
Ridiculous example.

But for now I have just purchased new trousers, happy me. I also have a new jacket which makes me look very militant, according to a friend it makes me look as if I have a 'AK-7' hidden underneath it; best comment yet.

Right it's quarter past 7 right now, too late to be blogging, yet it is revising, just creatively expressing my thoughts you know. I find it refreshing.

Adios tadpoles.
