# oh dear,
no chance of things picking up?

# well i'll probably wait and see how it goes when term starts properly
but i'm the most depressed i've ever been right now, and it's getting worse by the day. how the hell some of these people know so much math when we're all straight out of alevels is ridiculous

# seven words:
private school and no fun in childhood.

# true
i'll see how it goes. my mum is coming up tonight and i'm going to talk with her, but there's been big situations with my family in the last 12 month, and i think all my emotional buildup is precipitating out now. gah, it's a strange situation to be in.

# Hope it works out OK
I'm sure you can catch up.
Anyway, other people can seem a lot more confident and knowledgeable than they really are.
Especially at Oxford.

# if it's any help
they're all fuckers. they must be, they're at oxbridge, where everyone is an inbred posho cunt*.

ignore them and ask for help from your tutor at all neccessary points, don't worry about how it looks.

*exluding you, and my brother, obviously.

# well said
They don't know everything, but they do know how to look like they know everything.

# i decided i'd far rather
go somewhere full of normal people and have fun instead. so that's just what i'll do.

# where?
choose a large-ish city. i'd recommend manchester (if you like being shot at), edinburgh or leeds.

# i read manchester's prospectus and it was quite clear they didn't want me there.
99.9% of CERTAIN it'll be edinburgh or durham (newcastle's only 10mins on the train, before you point out how small it is, and i'd rather have that nice quiet separation and only have to go to the big city when i want to).

# Edinburgh is good.
I did my BSc there and loved it.

# even though it's 420 or so miles from home,
i was in edinburgh for an hour in august and thought, yes, it really is very very lovely. so i need to go and visit the university in january or so when they make an offer so i can choose. edinburgh would give me a fancier degree, though, but i'm not sure if i'd like their course as much.

# i applied to durham.
it's nice. but york's nicer. but durham's a better uni, i think.

# york city looked nice,
but york uni (from what i could see in the prospectus) looked like a big concrete doodad. i wasn't too keen on the course at york.

# york
don't even do law.
And Edinburgh do silly Scottish law.
Won't it be funny if we're at Durham together.

# too right, there's too many lawyers
and if there's going to be more, they need silliness.
