So, doing the Chemical Engineering course this year made me realise how not into chemical engineering I am.
It made me realise that there's only ever really been one degree course for me - physics. I think everyone around me knew it - even I did to some extent, but I just didn't have the grades for it.
So this week I've been phoning up universities, asking them if they'd consider me. Rejectionss all around, except for Kent. This leaves me with an awkward decision. I could try A levels again, and get good grades this time round, or I could go to Canterbury.
Kent means a very long journey up and back - long enough to only warrant once a fortnight seeing Matt. Not good enough. BUT, it also means I am in a university studying what I want to study under the safe protective cloak of the student loan. A nice thing to have in this awkward economy.
On the other hand...
A levels mean that if I do well, a whole load of options open up. For a start, Southampton, Surrey and Sussex... or even Imperial (If I do really well) would be available! Sussex would mean that I could be enjoying myself over in Brighton, which I would love. Southampton is a highly respected Russell group university, and I could get taken VERY seriously if I go there. And if I make imperial... well! That's just a fast ticket to NASA!
Difficult choice. I'll see what happens. (Read, I'll do what dad says)
