Lots of new things

Well firstly, as mentioned in my last post, my AS grades weren't entirely peachy. Due to the fact all the universities look at predicted grades, and mine weren't predicted high enough, it is highly unlikely that I'd be accept if I applied this year.
Although I did consider going for the gateway vet course, which is a six year degree and let's you in with slightly lower grades. Sounds like a bit of a lifesaver doesn't it?
that there are only 25ish places on the course in the entire country is a bit of a downside though.
Another alternative was going back to my quaint little, but very accommodating, high school sixth form. Where, due to only being a squigdey bit off an A, I'd continue A2 biology and do chemistry, maths and something else at AS (either art or english lit.), ultimately qualifying with four A levels.
Now this was rather tempting.

But what I've decided to do, and am going to enroll  in about an hour, is a BTEC in  Animal Management  at my local agricultural college. Also going to try finish off my biology and chemistry A levels at night school as well. Not only is it an amazing looking course, but I get still get into vet school with it.
What I found rather attractive was that the college full of  well-off farmer's sons  that if, due to the competitive nature of vet school's, it's something I can use. While A levels are all snazzy, they don't really qualify you much for other than going to uni, this is something usable. And looks really, really fun.
They have hawks, a several, wallabies and poison frogs and and..pretty much their own zoo for you to play with.
Also a little scared of re-taking my AS, only to get the same results, this is something completely new.

And!!!
I'm now 18 >.<

Not happy about being old, that's for sure.
Gave my youth a good send off though. It involved a pirate hat, a gay talk, lots, and lots of kisses with even more rum.
So that was quite fun, although think we killed another chicken with the stress.
She was fine sunday morning,even lay,  but after everyone had gone in the early afternoon, we found her dead :(
Now only two left.

So yeah, thats about it for this week really.

A post! Something that's been a bit rare recently..

Might have a dead rabbit in my room.
But I like the idea that there isn't one more, so will run with that.

Speaking of dead things, one of my rescued chickens, Buttercup, passed away last week. We came home to find she'd prolapsed to the point where 85% of her insides were out. Apparently it's quite rare, but due to how battery chickens are raised, it's a probability rather than a possibility. Now really scared about the other girlies.

I know I've not been particularly active on here, but to be honest, not been too active in general as far as the internet goes.

For the last two weeks I've been doing work experience in a couple of vet practices, got to see some laparoscopic ops and discovered the existence of rainbow coloured surgical instruments, the latter excited me very, very much.
My birthday is this week. HINT.

On a similar vetty note, I'm really scared about applying, didn't do as well as I should have, or as my competitors will have done with their AS, so al I have to recommend me at the moment is a absolutely fabulous personality and promises to do A LOT better this coming year. Also terrified of writing my personal statement.

You think sleeping with the admissions board will get me anywhere? ;)

(if there is an admissions person reading this, you never know with the 'net, I am joking)

This weekend has also been rather hectic, I was a bit silly and decided to send the summer off with a metaphorical bang.
Went straight from work on friday to a party, which I left Saturday morning to to work some more, napped for two hours then went out to party more!
Before heading into Manchester to do a bit of shopping. 



Today was the first 'day' of college and I was knackered.
Thankfully there were no lessons, there wasn't much of much really. 
Little disappointing, although discovered my time table now includes thirteen frees as opposed to last year's three. What am I going to do with myself?! O.o
