Change of plan
My plans have changed a little bit. I now plan on going to De Montfort this year, instead of deferring to next year. Don’t ask why, I just feel like I should do this first. It’ll be fun. I don’t feel like a grown up yet, so why do grown up things?
Because of that, I have a lot of paper work and Brighton is confusing things. I didn’t get the grades needed for Brighton, but meh, who likes the sea anyway? DMU is far less likely to flood. Anyway, instead of just releasing me straight away they seem to be taking their time so I can’t definitely get my place with DMU yet, since I’ve not gone into clearing, so can’t send my clearing passport.
I’m going through clearing, by the way, because they had to withdraw me from 2009 Computer sciences, and enter me into 2008 Computing (which I decided on). Less theory, more programming is the hope. Not that I mind theory, I just like programming.
Till Brighton reject me, UCAS won’t send my clearing passport, which I need to get a confirmed clearing space at DMU. I phoned Brighton and asked if they could reject me quickly, and they said “It’ll be sent electronically tonight, so UCAS will have it Monday.” “Why does it take that long to send an email?” “It’s not quite as simple as an email… Oh, wait. Computing student. Umm… Bureaucracy?”
I can send my bank application in now I have “confirmation” of my place. Yay, overdraft instead of £25 charges when something bounces…
I’m still ill. Damn you, Alex.
