18 Today!

etc...

Today is my birthday! I'm 18, which means that I'm officially an adult now... great stuff!

Haven't got my driving test booked yet, but, give me time...

I had my party on Thursday evening because that was when everyone was free, we went to Oxford to a very nice restaurant and had a posh meal... very agreeable indeed!

That more than made up for the disappointment of Wednesday, when I visited Manchester university. The day was a bit of a waste of time, because there was no time for personal conversation and we only got told things we already knew from the prospectus. It felt very anonymous and unfriendly, so I don't want to go there now. Which leaves Warwick or Aberystwyth, because I decided I didn't like Sheffield, and Oxford decided they didn't like my written work...

So the jury's still out on where I'll be studying next year... but, as Asquith said, "Wait and see...".
