Yesterday, August 14th 2014 was A-level results day. It finally came around, out of nowhere. As if by magic.
I stayed up until the early hours unable to sleep due to nerves before drifting off for a few hours, eventually being rudely awoken by my 'GET SOME COFFEE DOWN YOU' alarm and frantic texts asking 'ellie, are you in??'. I logged on to UCAS track (for which I had forgotten my ID) and saw to my utter shock and delight the University of Liverpool had changed my conditional offer to an unconditional. An unconditional offer. From my dream university. To study Communication and Media, something I am utterly passionate about. I'm still shocked.
I went to school to find my actual grades, which in theory didn't matter, and in all honesty I was disappointed. I've got a cheek to say it and I won't dwell, but y'know!!
So what happens next? It's time to pack. I had some bits and bobs for my birthday...
I have grey and turquoise towels, bath matts and flannels; notebooks upon notebooks upon notebooks; the cutest bedspread EVER with polka dots on one side and flowers on the other and white, turquoise and pink candles (which I can't actually use in my uni room...decorative?)
A hanging photo frame set made of three floral hearts; turquoise and pink glasses; a motivational quote jar from my good pal Sophie; and the cutest yellow Bombay Duck teacup and saucer.
There's not much more I need, I have my hair dryer, straighteners and curlers, my laundry bin, my clock and my 'Ultimate Guide to University'.
Seeing as we're building a house - see HERE for our blog on that - I have to pack my whole room up as I won't be coming home to this house, I'll be coming home to the new house. That is a whole new level of excitement, uni and a new house with the most gorgeous bedroom. As if that's not exciting enough I have an interview with 'Americamp' next week to be a camp counsellor in a summer camp next year. Everything is very much a-go. I almost think Freshers will be calm in comparison. Almost.
On the subject of Freshers - who's DJing at mine? BASSHUNTER. WHOOOOOO? How bizarre. I want to go to say I have. There's also DJ Fresh who I've seen and is incredible, Huw Stephens off Radio 1, Fuse ODG, Zane Lowe, Russell Kane and Lower Than Atlantis. Alongside that there are freshers events in places like Revs for all of the Liverpool universities (there seems to be, like, 4567887654 of them).
So it's going to be a busy month. With West Side Story, work, Americamp interview, Reading Festival, packing my room and for uni, leaving work and moving. I'm so excited.
Over'n'out - I'm going to grown up things like clean a bathroom and then go see The Performance House's 'The Tempest'.
