Accommodation

I'm so excited right now, I won't write anymore except that I will be living in 27E in Beaumont Court at Queen Mary in September :D

Weekend

I got a notification over the weekend that someone had commented on my blog. A fellow pre-med had found my blog and was starting their journey. It reminded me that I haven't been blogging much and I really should be.

Not to brag, but I've just had a brilliant weekend :D Went to see my best mate in Bournemouth and attend their end of year Summer Ball. It was amazing, had a excellent time (Plan B was disappointing live though).

It was a nice opp to get to see what uni is life and how in the space of a year, my mate has made some great friends. It also reassured my own silent worries that I would lose my friends when they went to uni and I stayed behind. I've still got a tight group of friends and the fact I've had to work for that in the past year means they will probably be friends for life!

I'm currently surfing the web for a good tent for glasto. I'm a little annoyed because my mate has pulled out so I've got to find someone else to go with but glass half full and all that. I'll be back later with a shopping list for uni. Hopefully some of my new followers can help add to the list..

Budget

Not a long post but bloody hell it's expensive to live in London :P
Very very glad I'm on a gap year with a full time job is all I can say

Flying by

After a slight prod from Grumpy Biomed :P I though I should update my current status. Been very busy with work at the moment. Only been there a few months and I've got to play manger already :D

My manger went of sick for a month and I stepped up (it was for the money really). Quite a few members of staff didn't take it well but hey it was alright in the end.

So anyway to the real reason you come to read my blog, I accepted an offer for uni about a week and a bit ago. I'm going to Queen Mary!!!!! I'm so genuinely excited about this. Haven't work out the costs yet really and my parents are slightly freaking.

So I'm going to be a biomedical scientist for the next three years in London. I kinda can't wait to get back the whole student life, I miss it slightly. I also miss the work a little bit. May fresh my brain on some basic biology at the beginning of September. Although I probably won't tbh. I'll try to update more when I know more. I'm waiting for my accommodation pack from QMUL!!

Panic

This morning I was fine. I'd got another offer. I'd got into Queen Mary's again. Then this afternoon it hit me. If i do Biomedical Science, am I actually going to be able to do medicine. Can I get in? Will I be able to afford it? I don't mind the 3 years (well a little bit) but the money and getting in is a worry. I've going to phone Queen Mary's tomorrow and get their advice.
Are these valid concerns or am I just worrying for nothing?

UCAS TRACK

I remember checking UCAS track everyday, even two or three times a day when I applied for Medicine. I was so obssessed I think that's why the rejection hit me so much harder than they should have. Second time round and I can happily say things are going better.

Within two weeks of applying for Biomedical Science I have two unconditional offers (Plymouth and Leicester) and an interview with Bristol. Fingers crossed for QMUL and UCL but we'll have to wait and see. No matter what I am going to uni this year :D shame it's not med but oh well.

Blogging from my iPhone btw and I've also got into Twitter. I'm all about communicating on the go. Still planning to become a doctor but will have to review the when and how :/

iPhone

Evening.

Been a while but I do like to blog so though I'd give you guys a brief update. Now on the uni front I've applied for Biomedical Sciences at UCL, Queens Mary and Plymouth. I've also applied for Biological Sciences at Leicester and Virology and Immunology at Bristol. I've got my fingers crossed and I'm hoping for a best response than last time.

Also I have an iPhone :D Working full time at my Jobcentre Plus is really paying off!!!!

Results

This is gonna be brief cause I'm unbelievably busy at the moment.

Law - A
Chemistry - B
Biology - B
Maths - B

Slightly disappointed that I didn't get an A in chemistry but oh well! I've been offered a place at Queen Mary for Biomedical Science for this year but I still want a gap year. Before you say, I asked them and it's QM's policy not to defer clearing offers. Sucks but I'll just have to apply again in September.

I may retake some chem and bio modules for my own personal ego, not to be submitted with my UCAS application, but who knows. I'm quite excited about all this.

Plus I have a job!!!!! I've been working for my local DWP Job Centre for the past two weeks. I'll get about a grand a month and the people are great. I'll be saving for uni and gap year in no time at all :D
