Santa Claus is coming to town!

So, I've broken up for my Christmas break, from college at least, and I can just chill with the family. NOT!!! That's just not how I roll is it? I'm working until Wednesday whereupon my official Christmas holiday will start, but in the meantime, I'm organising the study I'm going to have to do over the holidays.  My lecturers will see the holidays as an opportunity to relax and let my hair down, excuse the hairdressing pun, however I cannot afford to drop my study momentum.  I have loads of work to do! And the sooner I get it done, the longer I will have to spend time with the family.  I haven't stopped, now will I stop paddling down this water way, but I may accept the offer of a little tow over the Christmas period. I'm still struggling to comprehend my first marks hitting the heights that they did, and to put even more pressure on I've already heard from three of my uni applications.  One, Anglia Ruskin has invited me for interview but I've had to request an alternative date.  Two, UCS are looking at my application, and Three, UEA were unsure as to my relevant experience so I have just finished writing a response which should hopefully answer their questions, and hopefully they will then be able to further my application. I've not heard anything from City College's HE dept yet but apparently that's nothing unusual. I want a shot at a degree regardless of where I end up having to study. Obviously UEA would be ideal regarding distance from home, but they also have the highest requirements from an applicant. I'm aiming for the stars, but I will settle for the moon, I just hope and pray that one of my applications is successful. I've bought a suit. Yes. Me. I've bought a suit! I haven't actually been interviewed for over 10 years but I'm hoping that I will be and do ok. If I have a guardian angel and they happen to be looking in my direction, I just hope that they realise that I don't want anything for Christmas, just the opportunity to fulfil a life long ambition. If you're listening Santa, please can I gave a place on a degree course for Christmas? xxx
