I’m going to cry.
After being on tenterhooks for weeks I finally got my acceptance letter. They are looking forward to welcoming me in September!
I can not tell you how relieved I am. It’s finally settled, it’s happening. Eeeeeek I think I need to go run around screaming and stuff.
Maybe later I can actually concentrate on things! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Congratulations! Exciting 🙂
You guys are the absolute best! Thank you all so much! 🙂 I’m so excited eeeek heh, this is going to make such a huge difference to my life. It’s a massive step for me and even though it’s corny (and I’m sorry for that) I’m going to borrow from Once and say I’m viewing this as the start of a happy beginning 🙂
I really couldn’t be more pleased. Induction events start on September 25th. That’s just shy of 7 weeks or 48 days and counting (if I’ve done my math right – good job I haven’t applied for a math course heh). Not that I’m counting … oh who am I kidding I’m counting! I can’t wait to start!
Anyway now my anxiety isn’t at eleven hopefully I’ll be able to crack on and write some things! *hugs all of you guys* Thank you!!!

Aw, you’re welcome! I remember when I went back after a good few years away from academia. I was like you, so anxious until I got the news, and then I was so excited and couldn’t wait to start. It felt right :)I hope it’s a wonderful experience for you 🙂
Thank you so much! Yeah I’m 27. I dropped out of uni six years ago so it has been a while. I definitely can’t wait to start! It does feel very right 🙂

It took me awhile and a lot of soul searching on deciding what career I wanted to pursue but when I went back, I was as excited as you are! Congratulations!
Thank you! 🙂 Yeah I really feel like I’ve got it right this time. With hindsight I know I took the wrong course last time. I mean the right course wouldn’t have helped back then, too much other life stuff going on, but it’s different now. It’s a second chance!

WOOOOOOOOOOOO! We’ll be in school at the same time. That’s super great. If you don’t mind telling us, what are you going to study?
*HUGS YOU TIGHT*
Yay! *hugs you back just as tightly* I saw your post briefly when I was on mobile but then it disappeared, and I’m sorry I have a brain like a sieve and the next time I was on the PC I’d forgotten *hides in box of shame* Massive, massive congrats! I will super miss you if you do leave, or go incognito. I know we don’t talk often but it’s always a pleasure. However, I completely understand and I wish you all the luck in the world! I hope it works out fabulously for you!
No I don’t mind saying in the slightest 🙂 I applied for “English Literature with Creative Writing” but because I haven’t previously studied English Literature I didn’t qualify. However, they offer a foundation level, so an extra year of study making it a 4 year course. So I’ll be doing the “Bridge to Humanities” this year and then progressing to my dream course next year.
I’m not disappointed by this because it’s right. I would much rather gain solid footing than be floundering in the deep end, all at sea and not understanding. Plus I’ve been out of education a while, out of the world generally, and an easier introduction can only be a good thing. It’ll give me an extra year to get on my feet and really be able to make the most of the course.
I think part of me is still a bit stunned. I wanted this so badly and now it’s happening I’m dazed going “for me? really?” because wow, I can’t believe it! I’m nervous obviously, a little bit petrified to be honest that it’s not going to work out, but I’m very hopeful and I’m certainly going to do my absolute best.

I completely feel you on the “for me? really???” I feel just like that. I giggle randomly and have little capers around my house, or down the sidewalk if I’m not careful. I will miss you very much if I have to disappear. I think there may be some people I reach out to after the death of this blog because we’re close enough that I feel safe to do so. I do so enjoy our little exchanges and I would dearly love to meet you some day.
I think taking your time and doing the in depth study is the way to go because you get the chance to dig into the material and into yourself in a way that a rushed program just cant’ offer. This accelerated, or intensive crap is, to me, just that. I think going too fast robs you of the chance to do your very best work.
That sound perfect for you, I can just see you loving the hell out of your program.
I’m so, very, very happy for you. *hugs*
For myself, thank you very much. I hardly know what to do with myself these days because things are so amazingly awesome. I feel like I have the chance to do the thing I have always dreamed about. Well, you understand. I know you do.
I’m so very happy for you! 🙂
Yeah I do understand. I feel the same about my course. So *happy dance* all around I think! If you are ever in England feel free to let me know. It’s a small enough country we could probably meet up somewhere 🙂 There’s a few of us on this side of the Atlantic, if there’s enough notice we might be able to Rumbelle shippers unite or whatever people call these meet-ups.
Heh I’m re-reading this response to make sure I’ve responded to everything, and I’m just re-reading the “I hardly know what to do with myself these days” line and oh yeah! That is the exact feeling. It’s like woah, I’m dizzy with disbelief at the awesomeness and how can it still be seven weeks away? I just want to dive in and get started and enjoy this new stage of my life.
*hugs you* It’s just all so great. Hopefully these positive vibes will flow around the fandom and more people will have great things happen! I would love that, I really like it when people are happy! 🙂
