Just got rejected by Oxford Uni. I know all the usual stuff about "It's not where you go..." and all that, but I'm still a bit pissed off. Not a very nice Christmas present.
The worst thing is, my old school was right. I was in private education up until 5th year, but then I left to go to a state-funded college for 6th form. When I did, the school told me I wouldn't succeed if I went to state education... and whereas that probably wasn't why I failed, it still makes me resent them for being right.
I just got accepted into to the University of Minnesota Duluth! My first choice and I couldn't be happier! Best Christmas present I've ever had!!!! (well maybe my old Gi Joes).
