post gap year planning!

Of course this blog is meant to be all about my gap year, but last Thursday it was results day!! The day that determined my path after I come home from Uganda. Will I get AAA? CCC? UUU? Will I get into UEA? Portsmouth? Or fall headfirst into the dreaded clearing process?
On Thursday I only got 3 hours sleep and sat refreshing the UCAS page every minute from 5.30am, and I have no doubt that I was joined by thousands of 18-year-olds across the country.
Then finally at 7:30am, this lovely little message popped up onto my screen...
I just burst into tears! Mum was jumping round the house, Dad was cheering, I was just SO relieved! We then went down the school to collect my results, I was offered a place at UEA if I got ABB but I got BBB and they still accepted me! (may have been because I name dropped David Cameron in my personal statement). Anyway here's a cute little photo of me and my pals all feeling very proud of ourselves and eachother:
 I can now go to Uganda with the peace of mind that I have got into my favourite uni, and that I will be doing a course I am passionate about. Thank you for all your support and prayers xxxx
