I got into Oxford. AAA (excluding General Studies) offer for PPE at Balliol.

I don't know what to say, really. Except, ohmygod, I got into Oxford, I applied to the most popular course at the most popular college, and got in, and oh god, I think I'm going to cry.

Also - I'm home, I'm ill, have flown six thousand miles with raging temperature, my ears are yet to depressurise, I'm deaf, our luggage hasn't come because we caught the Manchester flight on final call with thirty seconds to spare, I'm tired, jet-lagged, missing the boys, did I mention ill, sleepless, was reduced to sobbing heap on descent because of sheer pain, have no clean clothes, etc., etc., argh.

Got home, found battered wet Christmas cards (from Hannah and Flick, thank you!) and battered wet massive envelope with Balliol stamp. I don't have to do Medicine. I'm gonna do PPE. I got in.

Whoopeee!! PPE is a fabulous course, I very nearly applied for it myself. Plus Balliol, woot!

AAA sounds a bit harsh though - in my day we got offers of 2 "Es" for entrance to Cambridge if you passed the entrance exam 4th term 6th form...

Hope you feel better soon. You should bask in your superstardom!

Re: Congratulations!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Hee! AAA seems to have been standard this year. Thankfully for me they haven't specified which subjects they want them for...

*snuffle* Feeling better is on my to-do list.

[shipperkitten.livejournal.com]

SQUEE!!! Well done! :D

Am really happy for you, especially knowing about the whole medicine situation going on behind the scenes. :)

Good news for both you and Colleen today, must be saving up the bad stuff for me in the new year! ;)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. The relief at not having to do medicine is palpable.

You're going to get into Cambridge, you realise. Quite definitely. And me and the other residents can dance round chanting "I told you so!"

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

Oh congrats honey! *glomp*

Thank you so, so much. And that icon has no faults. It is adorable.

Oh my God congrats, I never had any doubt by the way.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Fabulous icon, by the way. Daniel/rock = OTP.

[amchau.livejournal.com]

Of course you got in. Oxford aren't stupid enough to turn you down.

Well done, anyway. It's got to be a big relief to have the actual offer.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well-- get better soon, my dear. When you're not deaf any more, call me.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Your faith in me is touching and misguided. *loves*

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

Genuinely chuffed for you. I was SO TERRIFIED that you might have to go and do medicine...

Well done! You deserve it more than anyone else I know.

(P.S Lara got in to do PPE as well but not at the college she applied to. Can't remember which one she's in now - maybe you'll end up together! Colleen Show takes over at university level! Terrifying.)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Oh god, me too. Terror is the word.

You have to find out which college, you realise? Quite a few St John's people had Balliol as their second choice and I'm worried...

[eternalwings.livejournal.com]

WELL DONE!!!
