#competitive as hell

Cheesy Alex daily pic #6 Alex is a Macarena pro, even in such low quality image.

Sport Fest was fun, but I’m frustrated

Right now, there’s only frustration... so I’ll write my thoughts once I calm down

Haven’t been this frustrated for a long time

F: Jurina-san seems very frustrated ne... I feel the same... But this  is a world of win or lose so that can’t be helped... Btw, Jurina-san’s legs’re okay, right...

Shinobu: Jurina cried na. It’s youthfulness.

Basically, the degree I'm starting in September is part of a university 'Guaranteed Interview Scheme' for grad entry medicine. So I thought yay, this is going to make my life a little bit easier in 2 years.

But I just looked at the requirements page for getting one of these 'guaranteed' interviews, and you have you have BBB at A-Level.

I do not.

This sent me into a spiral of depression and panic from which my boyfriend pulled me out of by showing me all the grad entry medicine courses in the country that don't give a shit about your A-Levels. I mean, Oxford and Cambridge actually don't have a minimum A-Level requirement. The website for Oxford specifically says 'We accept that some excellent students are "late developers", and so we will not insist on excellent A-levels'.

Four for you Oxford, you go Oxford.

So yeh, now I'm less panicky. I'm going to apply for the interview scheme anyway, because hell, their A-Level requirements for the course I'm about to start were AAA, and I sure as hell didn't get that, but I proved to them at interview how determined and deserving I was, so maybe I could do it again.

I just need to get me some experience in a caring setting, because all the websites list that as essential. So I'm having to resign myself to a poor life at university, because there is no way I'd be able to pull off a first class degree, keeping up with the blog I run on here (not this one an important advisory one I'm trying to remain anonymous on), a decent amount of weekly volunteering AND a part time job.
