Photos and Gigs
I just got my photos from Reading and stuff back, here are a few of my
[they're big because they look crap small].
This first one is me and Sadie from a while back on an English trip. I think it's cute.
This is me, Sadie and Kat on the last night of Reading. It's really cold there, but Kats coat was warrrrm.
Kate, Kat and Sade <3 Beautiful, aren't they?
They're my photos. I have a few more, including one of Jack as a monkey, but I can't be bothered to put any more up today. Maybe tomorrow or something.
Went to a drill hall gig last night with If Robin Dies, Inbred Subhuman Filth [who I didn't actually see] and Equilibrium [yay! Barny's band!].
Apparently Equilibrium have a gig at a motorbike show next summer to play in front of 1.5 thousand people. Which is exciting if it's true. Barny tells me a lot of stuff. But this was from Mark... so it might be true. I don't know Mark well enough to say wether that's his kind of humour. I hope it's true- they're really good! I might be slightly biased on the basis that my boyfriend sings and plays le guitar, but I really don't think I ammmm.
I'm still really ill, so I didn't go into school today. However, I filled out most of my Oxford application so all I have to do now is write my personal statement, get two pieces of written work to send off and get some comments and stuff from whoever my referee is. I think I'd like Jude Sharp [my English teacher] to be my referee, mainly because she knows me really, really well and she's been to Oxford herself. I'm applying to Lincoln college- it's one of the smallest colleges, which is good, because I come from the smallest town in Britain and I think it would be easier for me to go to a smaller college rather than a big one. Yeah, it's exciting. I've already thought about which authors I want to talk about, but it's a bit weird because I don't really like many classic authors. I like Peter Ackroyd's stuff, and I like Haruki Murakami. I really want to read more by both those authors. I do have a passion for reading- I have to read every night before I go to sleep. Barny and I were talking about it and he was saying about not being able to go to sleep with anything on- like radio's or TV's or whatever, and I remember Sadie saying she could go to sleep with the TV on, but I generally have to go to sleep with a book in my hand.
It does seem like I'm trying to convince myself I have what it takes to get into Oxford. I guess I just realise I'm not Jack, really.
But there are some very good reasons why I should be accepted. I love reading and expanding my knowledge and learning new things. However I much prefer getting lost in a book to having to pull it apart... Nonetheless, I can sit, study and definately write an essay a week. It'd be a good essay too. I don't know, I just think Oxford would be the right learning environment for me, and it'd give me a degree that I could do so much with.
Whatever happens happens. I'll go to Exeter, Lancaster, Sussex, Bristol or Birmingham or maybe Portsmouth (I have an open day there- I'd need 3 C's to get in I think. Or 3 B's), I really haven't decided yet. I looked at Communication Studies as a course, and it's great at A Level, but it seems like it would suck as a degree. Ah well!
I'm not going to take a gap year. I'll go travelling afterwards, I think. Oh, and I applied for a job at spar. At least, I gave them my contact information and they said they'd call tomorrow if there were any jobs going. I said I'd work evenings and weekends. I really need a job.
*sigh* Missing my Jesska and my Barnifer and even school.
Love <3
