The eggs have fallen out of my basket




Urghhhhh i think I'm in a bit of a pickle.  Looking around universities thought I'd found the one for me and neglected the others.  Keele seemed perfect what with me visiting last year and all the societies matching my needs I thought this is the one. Visiting today was a bit of a wake up call everything just seemed to be really dull and shabby. The lecturer for media sounded like a tired bee buzzing away buzz buzz buzz never actually making a point. Everything just seemed so blahhhh maybe it was just me. The premier accommodation is nice but you need a medical excuse to guarantee to get one. I've seen the standard rooms and so if I do decide to go here I will be faking life critically illness to get in. I know its snobby but there is no way on God's green earth I'm staying in that crappy excuse for rooms. I'm sorry but 2 toilets between 14 it aint gonna happen!

As soon as I got home I googled my other uni choice unfortunately the open day has been and gone. Oxford B is not on a campus so its spread out quite a bit :( which I'm not sure I will like.  The accommodation is ridiculously expensive so I dont know if its worth taking the chance???

The other uni is near my friends which is a plus and the last time I went the lectures where quite passionate about what they taught. When I visited it was pretty grim the inside was nice but the outside just made me depressed. So I'd probably commute from Lancaster, but its just so low on the the uni tables I wonder if it will do me more harm than good. The employment rate after 6 months is 57%. I mean thats not huge, I can't believe that the other 43% were sat on their bums they are probably really smart =_=.

So I'm kinda going round in circles, should I bite the bullet with keele and take the chance of being bored to death or go to Oxford B where I've never been and risk hating the isolation of not being on a campus. Or go to uclan be close to my old friends but risk not getting a job at the end of it?

HELP???

Mondays make me want to punch the world in the face

so first post hmmmmm what to say??

Well my dad called for the second time this month which is weird because we haven't heard from him physically in two years, I say physically he emails occasionally. Asking if he could come up and see us I twisted the truth and said I was going to York, this is true I just did'nt mention how long and also said that my sister was at college, this was also true for that point in time. She breaks up tomorrow for the holidays. He then acts all disappointed as if this is a real effort hes put in claiming that 'he tried'. Frankly if your  going to call out of the blue and expect us to drop everything then he needs to get a reality check. The man exasperates me the last time he called he demands that I go to my Grandma's because I haven't seen her in awhile, when I pointed out that it was 4 foot snow and so icey we couldn't get the car out he claims 'that I'm a clever girl I have no excuse'. There is no direct bus route to where my Grandma lives, he suggested I walk. I checked this on Google maps to walk would have taken me 56 hours with stopping. I love my Grandma but not that much.


Work was hell as always difficult customers who  have hygiene issues. At work they've all exchanged individual cards to I've been given 6. Don't get me wrong this is very thoughtful but I don't see the point on spending this amount of money and paper on people I don't know and don't like. So i bought a big one addressed to 'all'. If that doesn't please them * shrugs* I don't care they don't pay me enough to.

Anything else to say?????  emmmmm I got a refusal from Leeds uni not a big surprise.

Oh yer misfits last nights episode reached new heights of epicness. The touching moment at the end was pure bliss. I hope the rumours of Nathan leaving aren't true he makes the show!

I also wished I had put a bet on Stella wining the apprentice I knew from the start she would win.
