And it is so.

 After 7 long years of playfulness (year 7+8) alcohol consumption (9+10) my first encounter with "real exams" (y11) and hard graft in sixth form I, or... for many of you, we, have made it.

I don't think I have ever been quite so angry as I did the morning of the 18th.. the initial moment where I realised people knew if they were in Uni before the "official" UCAS opening time at 8 and the challeng, no, the ball ache, that was me sitting on my sofa from 7:40-9:45 trying to get on to bloody UCAS track like everyone else had already done, listening to the woman on the phone. Stupid automated woman.

Anyway, all is well. My results came in.. a rather average BBCC which I am actually very happy with considering I'm quite sure no one, especially not me expected me to be able to pull my grades up, and my A2 exam results were the best I've ever performed under exam conditions... Sadly, however, my grades were not quite enough for the University of Manchester which means come September I will be moving to London to start my new life as a Theology Student at Heythrop College (University of London). This is, hoping that I get my accommodation sorted out as I am currently homeless when it comes to next year... I am, although Heythrop not being my firm choice, really excited about the coming year. I'm finally getting out of Oldham, like.. not even just down the road, but far away. I'm separate enough to live my own life as I please but close enough to both of my brothers (who will also be living in London this academic year) to be looked after to an extent.

I'm not sure what - blog wise - I'm going to do next year what with my URL "Introspective Writing in Oldham" will be somewhat an invalid name come the 26th of September.. but I'm sure i'll get round to changing it or making a new blog. I will potentially move back to tumblr for the same reasons as fellow blogger Julez, what with it being much quicker posting and I can blog straight from my phone, but will (if this is the case) move to a different URL to my current http://lucytrew.tumblr.com/

Anyway, that's all for now. Will post later with another Summer rundown.

God Bless, L x
