Hey all and welcome to my weblog.

Background info-
Name- Nikki
Age-18
Living currently- West midlands/wednesbury
Studying- A level maths biology n chemistry

Well thats me for ya. Im a girl, 18 go to a crappy crappy 6th form somewhere in a small town called wednesbury. Wednesbury has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the country i think! haha role on september. Its not all that bad though, we have walsall with its selection of nightclubs including WS1 which is a favourite, and good old yates's. And not forgetting the old lamp! Favourite local watering hole of me and my fellows, ah i shall miss it when im at uni, wherever that may be.

Well currently iv applied for medicine at Bristol/Liverpool/Cardiff/Brighton. Brighton were fast to reject me, althou i figured it was too far from home anyways. Liverpool was my first interview in december. I didnt enjoy the experience, the doctor tried his best to catch me out. However i succeded and got an offer 9 days later

Liked the city, so many shops, heaven! The university seemed to dissapoint me though, wasnt like the prospectus makes out, bit old fashioned inside, and scruffy on the outside. Accomodation is miles away too....hmm sumat about it made me feel not safe. PBl is it for me or not too? i dont think so. Anyways might have to be its my one and only offer so far AAB. argh AAB how? i got ABB at as with low bs too, so im now having to retake most modules, on top of my a levels. Working extra hard this year, though wen the jan exams came round i dont think they went too well. Was hoping for AAA but reakon its gona be more like BBC or BCC even CCC. oh god. dreading march 17th. Could have a possible 12 exams in june to cope with!

Got an interview at bristol on monday. cant believe iv got 2 interviews, didnt think i would get any given my poor As's and lack of work experience. I hope i get in, the pressures on cus i really loved bristol when i stayed for a weeks summer school in summer. Twas so nice n felt save, the buildings were very posh, uni had good facilities, and they teach traditionally but seem to have lots of clinical. Will probebly be my first choice, aint seen cardiff yet though. Still havnt heard off them tho! Fingers crossed for Nix!!

This uni things sooo stressful and scarey, its the fact i dont know where ill be this time next year whatr ill be doing and who ill be with. I havent got a backup plan if my medicine career fails as of yet. Any suggestions will be welcome. Perhaps i have a yr out n do an audology degree or sumat medically related. hm not sure, dont wana be left behind when everyones gone tho!

Was valetines day monday, was nice, me n craig (thats my bf of 2 n half years) went to leeds for the night and to see the uni. impressive uni, wishing id applied now! Im scared of how far apart me n craig will be in october though.

it worries me so much, were like so close n best mates n everything right now. cant imagine him not being there.

*thinks of the career at the end*
*thinks of family which could be*

this application stuff makes me sad.

Hello again.

Well it has been a strange old week. Weather has been snowing all week, but none of it sticking (grr how annoying)
I was worried that i would not get to bristol on time monday cus of it, but luckily the trains were running fine (for once!)
Got to bristol bout 9.10, got on a bus and got off by the uni, and climbed the most enormous hill ever to get to the med school (my mom cudnt even make it haha!!) Sat in the common room. it bought back memories from the summer school, felt like i knew it, was a nice feeling.
Then we were taken on a tour of the med school and bars/halls by 3 students who i must say did a fantastic job, really funny n showing us what we really wanted to see like the pubs with the cheapest drinks.
The uni was even nicer than i remembered, the weather was good but freezing, and there were more bars than here i think!! Maybe not as modern as other unis but certainly new things are being built all the time. the course structure i reakon would suit me more than the pbl, as its mostly lectures with some attatchements and they still to dissection (wahoo)

Then onto the interview...what a nightmare! was sooo nervous what happened! i thought of shitty answeers and the first thing that came into my head. i sounded appauling, didnt go well atall. the first question was why med? n i sutttered sumat bout the summer school abnd wanting to make a differece to peoples lives. then it was like why not sumat else helping people n i sed cus that all round science element isnt there, n he sorta frouned. then it was like name sumat in the nhs, whats a stem cell. i see you go to a sports college, why dont you do any sports...followed by oh thats a waste!!! :shock:
He also asked what was my work experience like, and so i told him i hadnt got any n he seemed surprised!! ?!
ahhhhhhh it went terribly. i blew it all cus i really really wanted to go there

now i have a painful 4 week wait to find out if i shall be crying for weeks now. My boyfriends going to accept his offer there too, im jelous! lol

I cud kill myself for messing up!! the one time i wnaa get sumat right!! grrrrr

Well the rest of the week was ok, though yday and today iv been ill with pharyingitus, making it very painful for me to swallow, and meaning my boyfriend craig wont kiss me *sniff*

**wednesburywench** · 28-02-2005, 12:25 AM

back again.

i wana go out, ever get the urge to like dance round ur room? i always do and yday was bigger than ever. i sooooo wanted to go out but no1 wud. i was dying to. having to work sundays dont help

works the thing that keeps me focused on my a levels though. i just think.....if i dont work now i cud be stuck here forever. every day when i go in i think that, then mean to do work......haha

i hate pc world, only decent thing is the wage. its so male orientated that i dont really fit in. all some people talk about all day is computers im like zzzzzz. then agen i spose all me n my mates talk bout is going on holiday, drinking and science!!

i have nothing in common witht hose people......conversation is hard other than with a few individuals who keep me going throughout the day.

Well i aint got nothin else to talk about really, aint done anything. been to my bfs on friday night. was very nice, i love him to bits. as uni dawns closer i get more and more worried bout what i might lose......

hes my rock

**wednesburywench** · 09-03-2005, 09:16 PM

helloo. well i passed my theory test today

wahoo, one step closer to the old driving test eh! not yet tho. got me lesson in a bit.

Sold some doughnuts to make money for our leavers ball. im fed up of us having to organise EVERYTHING tho, cus certain people are so unorganised. and i wish people would bring in their money, they dont no wat hard work it is for us!!

Applied for a new job as a ward services officer at the local hospital. its basically a cleaner but im hoping ill enjoy it seeing as it would involve patient contact. plus im fed up of workin sunday mornings, does my nut in!!

The wait from bristol is killing me! continuously checking ucas track right now, and still got a possible 2 weeks left to wait (if im lucky!!) arghhhh hurry up, kills us students you know. i want this more badly than iv ever wanted anything before. *prays*

still no news from cardiff, i wish they would hurry, theyre also doing my head in now!

Exam results for jan modules come out tomorrow :O i really wana no wat iv got, tihnk iv dun badly. i wont be too bothered, but it would be nice to have done well.

gota go redo my cw now......byeeeeee

**wednesburywench** · 11-03-2005, 01:51 AM

heyyyy

im happy today

got my results at dinner time. i got as follows....

A in biology (86/90) wahoo i think this is the best mark iv ever got!! im in shock!
B in chemistry (64/90) bit less than i thought but still not too bad.
C in maths (69/100) 1 mark off a b grrrr. lol. thought id done a lot worse so im happy bout that really.

This means i was shocked in biology and very very happy. the 2as n a b thing is picking up a bit, although if i wana get into bristol its gona be aab with a in chemistry

which is typically turning out to be my worst subject.

i still however, dispite being happy with what i got, have to retake chem n maths. This is to supersecure my as in summer, as so not to miss out by a couple of marks. (or atleast it reduces the chances of this happening)

this also means i now have 12! yes 12!!!!!!!!!!!! definate exams in summer, when if done properly 1st time round wud have been 6! grr

oh well work here i come hey!! i hope its worth this in the end, this doctor thing. it better be worth it!!

*smiles*

im off to watch ER now bye

Thanks for making me wait 5 months to tell me i suck cardiff! wat a **** policy that is, though im not bothered/phased cus i have my liverpool offer and my bristol interview.......i have gritted teeth tomorrow as they said i would hear in a month.......1 month tomorrow it is!! oh god....i want this so badly.

**wednesburywench** · 26-03-2005, 03:52 PM
