Thank you Santa! *hugs you*

A few people know my mother is getting married on Saturday. However, I wouldn’t blame them if they were wondering why that was keeping me so busy. After all it’s mum’s wedding not mine, even if I am the best woman. Well that isn’t all I’ve been doing…

I haven’t wanted to say anything publicly in case it jinxed it, and truthfully I’m still a little worried. I got a pretty clear indication today but nothing is in black and white, nobody has signed on the dotted line so to speak, so technically it could all still come to nothing. That being said I’m 99% sure it’s going to happen and while there’s still some uncertainty, I think it’s about time I come clean.

Unless something unexpected happens I’m going to university in September!

I’ve applied to do English Literature with Creative Writing at the local uni. What was said today strongly suggested that I have a place at the university. However, they aren’t sure whether I can start the course directly or if I’ll need to do a humanities foundation year first. I haven’t been in education for a while and I don’t have a background in classic literature. They think I’m more than competent at the writing part, and I know my contemporary/genre fiction, but I’m not so familiar with the classics as I’ve not studied English beyond high school which was over a decade ago.

So the application is kinda in limbo until that’s resolved. I need to write another essay to check if I’ll be able to keep up. It should be sorted early August which is before A level results come out so hopefully I’ll sneak through and get my place confirmed before all the places are gone. That was said today which is why I’m pretty sure I’ll have a place on something (either the foundation year, or the start of my dream course), but it isn’t a done deal and I don’t think I’ll breathe easy until it is all confirmed. I’m terrified it’s all going to go wrong.

Anyway, that’s why I haven’t been on tumblr much. I’ve been putting together my application, and panicking because I really want this, and well like I just said I’m terrified it’s not going to work out. Truthfully, even when I’ve had the time lately, I haven’t felt like being on tumblr because my mind has just been consumed with thinking about the application. Plus you know there is the matter of the wedding. It has been a busy few weeks.

I might take Sunday off. Once everyone leaves in the morning and I have the house to myself, I might declare a duvet day and nap and watch movies. Then Monday morning get up bright and early and start the ‘to do list’ again 🙂

I hope you are having a good week Santa! Thanks for your thoughtful message!
