The Attic

[Rocket]

Everyone who applied to Cambridge at mine school got in except two. One of the girls who didn't get in was positive she would :S Goes to show what happens when you're too confident.

I know a couple of people who go to Oxford... The pictures of the Uni on Facebook look awesome.

[MadCatta]

I know two people who have rejected Cambridge... one is my cousin, the other I'm going on a date with (casual 'name' drop there)

And there's a bloke in my village who went to Cambridge... he's out two years and still has n job...

[Rocket]

How come they rejected it?

[MadCatta]

My cousin preferred Imperial... which, fairs, is better for science. (And is blimmin' good.) And the bloke preferred Nottingham for music... Don't know why...

[Rocket]

Nottingham is pretty good also!

Where are you applying?

[MadCatta]

Possibly to Utrecht in Holland? Or... well, I'm writing a script for the BBC, because they read every one they get sent in and if they like it, take you on board as a writer.... so uh, I'm (unrealistically) hoping they'll take me. So basically I want to give writing a real shot... especially given I've sort of messed up my A Levels quite badly... so uh... yeah...

[Rocket]

Utrecht sounds good! I saw BBC thing on that a while ago.

And I never knew about the script thing! How cool is that?! I might give it a go in a few years...

[MadCatta]

Yeah, it's quite awesome. Every four months you can send another in. If not... I'll be a struggling writer in a flat in some city somewhere...

[Rocket]

What sort of stuff do you write?

[MadCatta]

Anything.

Well. Realistic stuff or fantasy. And uh, yeah, that sounds like it covers everything... but mainly fantasy, or like, really real life stuff. Like, with bittersweet endings. ANd really bad poems :L
But mostly fiction. Although I'd like to give journalism a try.

[TiggsRulz:)]

Ah yes, Journalism - one of my friends wants to try that when she's older...
I personally like writing fiction, the only problem is that as soon as I start, I write a page, then I think of some other completely different fantastical idea, which would mean starting again and explaining a LOT to get to the idea. And then of course, the process repeats itself and I give up.

[MadCatta]

Ahah, yes, I get that. Personally, I get around it by writing myself a note and filing it away. And then later realising it's awful ahaah. Although I get obsessed with things quite easily.. which may help the process... Journalism is quite cool.

[Rocket]

I also think journalism is quite cool. It'd be awesome to be published in the Guardian or Independent...

[Pedro-ologist]

What is so wrong with the times Rocket? I think that there is no problem with that as a British newspaper. You are so newspaperist!

Just thought I would say high from my Exchange Student's wi-fi. Having great time in France, but not being able to communicate as well sure does make you feel a bit homesick. But I have some therapeutic Aussie music, so I am all good! Did you also know they have Kellogg's Cornflakes in France! Yay!

I am thinking I'll just go to UWA for under-grad at least...but maybe else where for post grad degrees...this is assuming I have worked out what the hell I want to do with my life by then...at the moment I am planning on just doing an arts degree...

Also, I have finally mastered typing on the iPad. I can do it fast and with minimal typo's (and they ar mainly due do auto-correct...).

[Rocket]

The Times is right wing haha, it would't fit in for me to write for them since I am left wing. I would just write articles thats demean the Conservatives.
