Tag Archives: Personal Statements

Bethany Cheyenne Winona Mary Mossop is a slave driver. Just thought I’d clear that up.

In the time since I last graced the internet with my words frankly nothing very exciting has happened. I did a bunch of exams, I finished my exams, I had a couple of days off during which I bought stationary and decorated a new folder and then on Monday I went back to school. As I said before, nothing interesting.

Even since I’ve been back at school the only thing people are talking about is Universities. Where they want to go, what they want to do, what they need , what they want, whether they think they’re going to get what they need or want… It’s all a bunch of questions without answers and it’s doing my head in. I wish it was simpler, I wish that universities would have to come looking for us and then just pick who they wanted for whichever course. Then I could just sit back and let the fates decide rather than stressing about not having signed up for enough open days, or not getting the grades, or physically being capable of putting 17 years into 400 words which seems to be what they expect you to do with a personal statement.

On a very different note, Porcupines and superior to Elephants.

What I really hate about University applications and things is they way that Universities do all this stuff to advertise themselves to you and then decide that they don’t want you afterall. It seems you just can’t please some people.

Anyway, enough about the “U-word” instead I’ll finish by talking about something much nicer, Glee.

I have not yet seen the final episode but will have done by Monday. I love Glee, in fact no, I Adore Glee. I love the concept, the characters, the music, the timing… It’s all simply brilliant. I’ve always liked musicals and Glee is like getting a miniature musical every week! Despite my love of the idea of being part of a Show Choir I do not want one at my school. We are an all girls’ school, we would have no male leads and so would spend our whole time trying to get around that which I just wouldn’t like. We’ll have to stick to just having Mr P’s monster choir which was cristened this after one session early last year when over 250 people turned up.

I’m going to finish here because I’ve got hay fever at the moment which makes me really tired. But I hope anyone reading this is well and that the revolution comes soon.

Amen and Out

PostScript  I am so excited for the final two episodes of the current series of Doctor Who!! Maybe I shouldn’t go to University but instead just stay home and watch re-runs of Doctor Who…
