I'm extremely happy for everyone who is getting University offers and they definitely deserve to tell the world because it is a great feeling and I'm sure I'll be bragging to the high heavens when/if I get them. However, it does make me scream at my computer screen, asking why my Uni choices don't love me. This went to the extreme last night though, when the Professor of Journalism at one of my choices appeared on Newsnight, and while I listened intently to his point of view on The Leveson inquiry I whined, pleading to the television for him to send me an interview/test date.
That is embarrassing behaviour.
Yet, I don't think I'm the only one who is finding that their life is ruled by checking their e-mail and constantly worrying that every University hates you. As I've mentioned before, I check my e-mails at every spare moment and now that I have been made aware of the UCAS track iphone app, I have no doubt that I'll be logging on to that whenever I'm free too.
It's difficult to stay positive and trust that the replies will take time and some courses or universities will reply sooner than others when all you can think about is how much you want to succeed in your career of choice is. I can't seem to stop myself constantly running through exactly why I want to be a Journalist. This seems to make the worrying worse because in a cheesy x factor style "this is all I want". Although, I need to start listening to my own advice because, as I said to one of my best friends who was unfortunately rejected by her top choice, "You'll end up in the right place".
I will continue to wait and wait and wait. The UCAS process is definitely a never ending cycle and the worry won't be over until I'm settled into a University. I wonder how much my A level grades would improve if I stopped constantly refreshing my e-mails and spend the time doing revision or coursework. That's definitely food for thought...
