Don't worry about the oxford interviews too much. Majority of the time the interviewer really just wants to make you as comfortable as possible, they are really not there to catch you out. In non-science interviews they tend to ramble on about your personal statement for ages. Just make sure you know it inside out. So many ppl I know were completely caught out as they hadnt looked at it since October. Have a good time in Oxford! If you've never been there before, check out the Bird and the Baby (Eagle and Child). Tolkein and Lewis used to hang out there... till they moved across the street. And of course the hall at Christ Church where they filmed HPI and based the dining hall. I squeed more there than I did at the premiere. Which is oh so very sad.
I couldn't believe it, I had my personal statement basically memorized and they didn't ask me a single effing question about it! Was very unimpressed. Instead they gave me some crappy poem and sked me to talk about it. I only read the first page of three and so did not give myself the best start.
I had a great time in OXford though, and frequented the Turl Tavern fairly often as I was not lucky enough to light upon the Bird and Baby. I'm a big fan of Oxford, especially the architecture which reminds me of HP wherever I go! Let the squeeing commence!
Oooh! Oxford! I'm hoping to do a semester abroad there next year... If I can get into the program... Eeeurg. Anyway, I come bearing fic recs. The first one is an awesome WIP by mirasfics and it's call "The Shadow of His Wings
( ... )
Forgot to warn you! There's het in the chapter fics too! And in "The Darkness," it will become a slash fic later on; right now it looks like a het fic. But it'll chang in a few chapters. :)
OMG, that bath scene ... what was with Myrtle? I mean, HE KEPT TRYING TO COVER HIMSELF WITH BUBBLES BECAUSE SHE KEPT TRYING TO SNEAK A PEEK AT HIS COCK. Not that blame her. I nearly had a coronary too. It was that hot.
And him and Cedric running through that maze ... good God. There are no words. Just profanities and animal noises.
OXFORD. Gah! You'll be one of those people! No wonder you are scared, lol. But remember, you are a genius, have been smooched (with tongue!) by Pete Doherty, have Dan Radcliffe's HOME number and are a Slash Queen. They must be wanking off to the thought of having you join there fine institution. Have no fear!
OMG! I got my Uni results back. I PASSED EVERYTHING. This is so amusing as I went to ZERO lectures and missed a lot of my tutes. AND I didn't study AT ALL. I was going through a weird phase. I am mocking the institution so badly right now ... and I'm loving myself doing it.
Anyway, if you don't post until after Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
OMG you know that actress that plays Myrtle? She's British and like 35-40 years old! Doesn't that suddenly make the scene a hundred times more inappropriate?! HP breaks boundaries all over the joint.
Oxford didn't like me!! Was very distressed but have totally got over it because I have slash and pete doherty un my life and in the latest HP film there was a naked dan rad so life is actually pretty good!
Congratulations on passing at uni, my darling! As if you wouldn't! No one as hot and fantabulous as you could fail, it just isn't how the world works.
I hope you had a very merry christmas, love, and may you spend the new year in a drunken entanglement with a hot boy, or girl. Or both, preferably!
