Shock

Thats what i'm feeling right now. I did my morning workshift and came home to find a big envelope on the floor in the post. I knew it was the result of my Leeds interview. I felt sick. I opened it and I got an unconditional offer.

It still hasn't actually sunk in that I have finally managed to get a place at medical school. When I was opening the letter I was thinking well at least this time the university actually sent me the letter of rejection instead of leaving it to UCAS to do as I considered the Leeds interview to have been my worst (5am wake up to get the train and having to wait till 5pm to have my interview didn't exactly help the interview to go well). But apparently they saw something in me. Maybe it was my 'joke' (which wasn't intended to be a joke) and if it was I have Josh to thank for it (so thank you Josh for getting lost in the neverending fields of fern near the beginning of our Duke of Edinburgh expedition).

And speaking of D. of E., Nick I have handed in your D. of E. stuff to be sent off (at the same time as handing in my own) although that is old news now (it happened about 2 weeks ago, I just forgot to mention it).

I was just thinking, things always seem to go wrong for me (or I don't quite get what/where I want) when it comes to exams and university places (it happened with my GCSEs, AS levels and A levels as well as the medical schools) but in the end, after a lot persistance I get there. Its irritating but you know what, i'm not complaining. At least it keeps me on my toes.
