Bonjour tout le monde! :D (or something)

Huge welcome to all the new people on my flist :D There's quite a few but it feels like I'd forget someone if I counted them so I'm not going to so that no one will feel left out (but you're all equally welcome anyway, it's just that I'm a bit tired)
Speaking of tired. That's just what I am. Tired. It's 3 am right now and I can't sleep even though I really want to. But I think it's because I'm so hyped/scared/many other things about the possibility of going to uni somewhere that's not Sweden. Talk about taking a step out of your comfort zone (it's more me leaping out of my comfort zone and taking a dip into unknown waters) and I started to think about things like 'all my CDs - are they worth taking?' 'What are the chances of a laptop being stolen?' etc. All those things that you'd probably know if you lived there but when you don't... I mean, the thought of being away from my DVDs for a year... or my Josh Groban CDs... I'd so miss it. And having a laptop seems almost mandatory since it allows you to, without any inconvenience, write essays and whatnot, but I don't want to invest in something that might get stolen.
Aside from university, I've been watching Party Animals with Matt Smith. It's actually quite lovely. And it's so fun to see so many people I recognize in that show. I think it's a really good show but maybe that's because I'm interested in politics... And Matt Smith's character, Danny, is utter adorable. Seriously. Look up adorable, and you'll see his character. ♥

Date: 2009-01-07 02:11 am (UTC)It's probably too early to start thinking about since I've only heard back from one uni, but I can't help not thinking about it. I'm quite an excessive thinker. I think too much and I'm trying to find a cure not to. ... Needless to say, not going so well.

Date: 2009-01-07 06:14 pm (UTC)I finish school this year as well and the thought of going abroad (UK!) to continue my studies has crossed my mind thousands of times, but it seems as much scary as it does exciting. It makes me worried that I wouldn't be able to pull it off and be too homesick most of the time. *sigh* I know some people who are successfully studying abroad, though, so I hope it goes very well for you too!

You won't know if it's for you unless you tried :) For the upcoming year (autumn '09 - forward) the last application date for unis in the UK are Jan 15th, if I remember correctly.
