A New Leaf

A lot has changed for me recently, over the last month. Yesterday was truly a starting point for me and a new life, being the first of the month.

Firstly, over the last month I am officially no longer an 'A-Level Student', but now a 'University Student'. I got a ABC in Maths, English Lit. and Physics (in that order) and a c in my further maths AS-Level. This was, unfortunately, not enough for me to get into Manchester, my university of choice, but instead I'm going to Liverpool University to study Pure Mathematics. I've always been very interested in that course, though a little worried that my sister is at the same uni. Now, however, I'm just so excited to get away! On the 21st I'll be out of here! I've already got just about everything I need, my accomodation has been sorted out and so have my student finances.... vaguely. The Student Loans Company is amazingly slow, and hasn't processed the form that says I'm going to Liverpool instead of Manchester yet. I was going to phone them yesterday, but I found myself busy with friends. I was also going to phone them today, but I had a migrane this morning, and I'm still feeling pretty bad from it.

As a stab at this new responsibility, I have began a student money diary. Basically, I have to write down every amount of money that I spend - it'll hopefully help curb my spendings and make it clear when money goes in and out of my account. Both very important.

Tomorow, as well as shouting at the SLC I also need to hand in my notice at my work. It's a real shame because I've genuinely enjoyed working there. It's even more annoying knowing that I'm moving to where their head-office is situated, but because they don't actually have any shops there I can't transfer.

It feels like life's going so fast suddenly and just leaving me behind. All the while going away just seems like such a long time away.
