Sunday 21st February

Hey all,

It seems my 3 month dream.... yes you can sympathies with how long I've wanted this.... is going to have to wait till another year. Basically the Isle of Weight is going to have to wait another year before I can grace is beautiful shores for the sounds of the festival. Gah I realised it was going to a struggle for me to afford a holiday and go to the 4 day weekend festival BUT STILL!! :(

The reason for my lack of appearance will be that of dreaded exams.... grrr.... it's bad enough that they prevent me prove going out on the run up to them, but they're now spoiling the beginning of my summer too.

Oh well, the main reason I wanted to go this year was to see Biffy Clyro. They're my new found love of 2010 (so far!). I absolutely adore their music....... but I'm hoping.... fingers crossed they may visit the sunny location of the southwest for the Eden Sessions this year. The Eden project is an absolutely awesome venue to see a band live - granted when I saw Kasabian (eeek!) it was good weather.



Either way, we'll see what summer of 2010 will bring music wise - I am becoming a real festival lover.... I haven't been to many yet but I love going to see bands live - there's nothing quite like it, especially the atmosphere you get.



The thought of the summer is keeping my spirits up at the moment as I'm finishing off my Uni interviews.....

I had an interview, or technically 'activity day', last week during the half term. The problem is though - I am somewhat in love with this university, and if I don't get a place there - I'm afraid that I will be heart broken. Over 1000 people applied for this one course, and they've held (I believe) about 2 activity days so far and probably 1 or 2 more to come. Only 86 places though.... and a lot of tough competition.

Of course when they begun the day the speaker used the age old phrase of 'This day is as much for you as it is for us' (Yes, it was a lot of fun) BUT everyone knows that this was their opportunity to prove to those working with us that we're most capable for the course.

I know, hopefully without coming across arrogant, that I am sociable enough and can communicate well - a couple of others and I were asking the most questions and hopefully showing the most interest in the my group. I am also confident that my predicted grades will be a positive attribute for the admissions team to note..... But what I am most concerned of is my work experience.

Yes I have had experience at my local paper, had work published and also by working on the student radio, I believe I hopefully have more skills there. Yet, I over heard 1 person remarking on her plans for a 3month work experience on an Australian radio station. I'm not going to winge too much and say - oh its not fair, because of course everyone has to work hard for these internships to happen - but living in the south west of England in all but the middle of nowhere with no driving license (as of yet) to hand - certainly has it disadvantages.

But hey-ho I suppose I shouldn't worry about it now, I can have no more influence on the decision making of the admissions team since last Wednesday. I'll just have to hope and wait...........



Thanks for reading :)
