I've been meaning to update this but any time I start, I get distracted and then some how lose everything I've already typed.

Lets give it another go then!

I got my results just over a week ago. B in Maths, D in Physics and E in Further Maths... aha. But that means for my A2 subjects I have BCD (C from Sociology last year). It wasn't enough for UCLan, and I couldn't even get onto tracking to see whether I'd got a place at Sheffield Hallam (which I didn't actually want to go to anyway) so I rang Derby.

I'd been looking at different courses just in case for weeks, and had found Mathematical and Computer Studies at Derby. I fell in love with the course and I am so glad I was prepared. I was offered a place through clearing, and now it's all confirmed and I've got accommodation and all that jazz!

I leave in three weeks (well, tomorrow). The only sorta meh thing about it is that I'm going the day before my birthday. It would have been nice to have stuck around at home for my birthday. BUT it could be fun to be around a load of new people too, so yeah...

The major downfall about not getting into Preston is that I won't be close to Marko. We were banking on me moving up there. We were also banking on me staying with him for at least a week when I first get up there (as I could commute to the uni for important things) and then staying at his every weekend, or every other if I couldn't afford it. We've had so many small arguments and got niggly with eachother lately, because I don't know when I can go up there. There's obviously the issue of money on both our parts, but also the time. He could come down here now that I'm at my nan's, but he can't stay here and obviously he can't afford a hotel... I'm sure we will work something out. If I have enough free days during freshers fortnight I will try get up to see him.

But yeah, speaking of being at my nan's.... We've finally left home for good. There was a huge physically fight between my dad and brother and a lot of nasty words thrown about, and that was that... My mum, brother and I got up and left. It's been a bumpy couple of weeks and things are still getting worse, but at least we're not living among it 24/7. We've got our safety and relief here. I just wish I had all my stuff here too! GAH!

I'll type some more up later. I'm posting this now so that I don't lose it. *distracted*
