For when we're forced under the ice for a million billion years!<br />...And you got three melons?<br />If you weren't smart enough to plan ahead, then DOOM ON YOU!<br /><br />...Sorry. Just had to get that out. Anyway. CONGRATULATIONS! My friend's older sister has just finished the laborious process of going down to Oxford (twice) to be interviewed for English! If you both get in (which is very likely) then we'll have a mutual acquaintance! Hehehe! (I find the thought of meeting/hearing of someone I know from the blogosphere highly amusing.)<br /><br />OH, and by the way: remember how a while ago you bestowed a cruel and thoughtless award on us, your poor unprepared followers? Well - I'm throwing it right back at ya! Didn't see that one coming DID you?! ~wicked grin~<br />http://eklobb.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/the-very-inspiring-blogger-award.htmlEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553951271806645988.post-6064214983057187042012-12-03T22:27:44.446+00:002012-12-03T22:27:44.446+00:00*giggles* "Rejection may shut a door in your ...*giggles* "Rejection may shut a door in your face, but it rarely thinks about the windows." *giggles* that my dear is a totally awesome line. Loe it!<br /><br />And now the rest of my thought train has gone home and I have to wait until my hubby picks me up to go after it *sigh*<br /><br />I was such a low stress person when it came to college/university. I looked at three places applied to two (becasue I didn't want to do the essay for the third) and got in to both of them... of course neither were very lofty school such as the one's you've applied to. Nope, one an art school out in the midwest (near my grandparents) and the other a state school that said they'd pay a portion of my tuition if I went there (probably because my SAT scores would make them look good....) *eyeroll* <br /><br />Sill Congratualtions and Good Luck! I hope that interview went well for you. :}Cathryn Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816869021658935999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553951271806645988.post-32836412553568641562012-12-03T18:32:23.875+00:002012-12-03T18:32:23.875+00:00 Oxford!

I think we can ascertain that my one rejection was far from a big blow after the others.

But anyway, I'm happy to have been proved wrong!<br /><br />But you'd better watch yourself.
