- Mood:
Amazed - Listening to: Newton Faulkner
- Reading: Anything I can get my grubby hands on!
- Watching: Scrubs
- Playing: Piano (I Write You, by me!)

I have an unconditional offer to read English Language and Literature at Oxford University, and I start in October.
I can't believe it! I am completely and utterly shocked, but so happy and so excited. I can't wait to start! To everyone out there: you can achieve your dreams. It takes hard work, perseverance, a little Voodoo... but it is possible!
Best. Xmas present. EVER.

the Wii seems to have a lot of games for younger people which i don't like much and the playstation 3 doesn't have many good exclusive games apart from Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy
No - I haven't got any of the new consoles but I want someone to recommend which would be best to get! Which do you have and which would you say are the best?

I play Call of Duty 4 online with some people i played World of Warcraft with and Assassin's Creed sometimes but they get boring pretty fast, do you play any games on the new consoles ?(xbox 360, PS3, Wii)
It's hard to explain! Basically it's the oldest university in the English-speaking world and is one of the best universities in the world! It was such a mission to get in, like, seriously. You know the Great Hall in Harry Potter, where they all eat those huge banquets? Well, that was filmed at Oxford University! Hold on, I'll link you to the Wikipedia site because there are some photos there. I can't wait until I go! It's going to be amazing. (But really, really difficult because all the people are complete geniuses! Argh!) [link] There we are. Some of the buildings are like castles, some are like cathedrals, some like big mansions! (Haha, there'll probably be lots of geeks there and I'll hate it, but hopefully not!!
What do you think?
Played any good games recently?

hmm i've heard of it a few times but i don't know a lot about Universitys, why isn't it a normal Uni?
ye sabrina says she remembers you
You all sound so busy!
i still havn't thought much about what i want to do in the future i'm too lazy, i'll probably regret it later though.
Most people only do one subject at university; I'm doing English Language and Literature. Oxford University isn't just a normal university, by the way!!
That's cool about Sabrina. Tell her I say well done! I wonder if she remembers me?
Yeah, my family are all okay. Bryony is now in Year 10 and she's a bit of a genius. Sebastian's at university in Kent doing Computer Science. He's in his 3rd year. Mum and Dad work. And I am still good friends with Char and Di! Diane is doing Drama at uni in Manchester, and Char is doing an Art foundation course in Maidstone, which is cool. I sort of wish I was at uni now even though going to Oxford is going to be really hard work. Still, I'm quite enjoying my gap year anyway. I still need to plan where I'm going to travel in the summer!
You got any plans for the future, or still trying to work things out?

All i do is work part time at a restaurant then come home and draw a bit, so not very interesting
Sabrina is still at Invicta, done her GCSEs she did really well lots of As and A+ a lot better than me. My Dad and Mum still work.
How about your family? are you still good friends with Charlotte and Diane?
Meanwhile, I should probably try and do some more art sometime... Everything's just so busy! I have so many things I want to do before I start uni in October but I'm working Monday-Friday at a school as an IT technician and I'm normally so tired in the evenings that I can't get anything done!
How are things at home? How's your family? Is Sabrina still at Invicta?

right now i'm eating an orange and checking websites
What are you up to at the moment, anyway?
--
"Little brooks make great rivers."
nah i don't think i'll do an art course i quite like learning by myself, its just a hobby i like to do at the moment
i have no idea how to start a career with it, sounds kinda scary
Yeah, I think I remember!
Thanks for checking on me - how nice! I hope you're well too.
Yeah, hairspray is great. A cheap alternative to fixative! Try to find the least scented type possible though because the smell can annoy people (especially if you're doing schoolwork!).

Stopped by to see how your drawings are going and how you are. You are very talented.
Also, I wondered, how do you fix your drawings? I've heard that hairspray gives a good fix? I want to stop my drawings from smudging in my sketchbook.

I am excited about uni but am so glad I took a gap year; I have done work experience with Orion Publishing (and got 27 free books over the weeks!! Yes!!) and an internship with a niche London newspaper - not too glamorous but have had lots of articles published (and one feature in a magazine) and am building up a portfolio. Not this Monday but the next one I have my Oxford interview. I am terrified. I was hoping that they would let me in without interview because my English A Level was one of the Top 10 in the country, but noooooo! (Bastards.) And I always embarrass myself whenever I open my mouth so it's not looking good.
Yeah, don't worry - I haven't been on devArt for ages either. (Okay, a week.) What have you been up to? How is Nick? Tell him long time, no speak!

"Little brooks make great rivers."
his work is very impressive though!!
yeah I agree, time is going too fast!! I am loving uni! what are you doing in your gap year?
sorry it took so long to reply, I don't go on deviantart that much!
I am fine. I can't believe the time is going by so fast. I sort of feel like I'm not getting everything done that I wanted to in my gap year...! We'll see how it goes though. How is uni?

"Little brooks make great rivers."
Thank you - Nick's work is awesome too though - has he shown you? How is he getting on, anyway? Haven't spoken to him in a while...
--
"Little brooks make great rivers."
Wish I could draw like you. I can't get over how good your work is!
