So my life is like Luke's at the moment... I've been extremely busy in Year 12 with exams, work and choosing a University for next year. In the UK you are only allowed to apply to 5 Universities, which I think is a bit different to the USA (where you can choose as many as you want I think). The Universities in England are cute, they aren't as big as the ones I've seen in the USA and Australia, but many have that old English atmosphere and look, many people have compared Cambridge and Oxford to Hogwarts!
Cambridge University, one of my 5 options.
Anyway, I'm not sure how many of you knew this, but I have been researching into becoming an international student in either America or Australia. I was trying to apply to Colombia, Harvard and Colorado in America, however I am required to sit the American SATs and while I was going to try and do that along with my British A-Levels, I just don't have enough time to do both. In addition, I think I have to complete two subject based SATs which cost a lot of money to sit the exam in the UK.
So......
After about 6 months of researching into Australian Universities (thanks to Luke sending me some prospectuses) I am going to a New Zealand and Australian University Open Day in London tomorrow (Monday 6th June.) This is quite risky as I'll be up there late and I have an exam the next day, but after all this research I really want to go to Melbourne University - it just offers things that the British Universities do not offer. Don't get me wrong, many British Universities are amazing - they are just not for me.
Sorry this has been a long post :) Once I get writing I can't really stop!
I love and miss you all xx
