More sweet reviews. Apparantly people are learning things from my fics. *feels guilty* Think i should tell them I make it up as I go along? ^_^ Aw, sweet person emailed me! Awwww!!!

Damn it, why does Yahoo have to put delete right next to reply? That's the third time I've done that! Still, copy and paste and I can reply. Oo, nice site. Adding that to my favourites, i am.

Okay, gripe time. I don't know what I want to do as a degree. Simple enough, isn't it. But not for my family. Every conversation i have with osomeone I know seems to be about my university choices. Where I'll go, what I'll do, what I want to be... When I choose college over a scholarship literally every conversation i had with my mum and gran involved, at some point, my decision and whether I was absolutely certain, even after I couldn't change my mind any more. Hell, they'restill at it now. *sighs* Family gathering was fun. Twelve of us there. All but four people didn't try and discuss my future with me, those four being me, my sister, my less than a year old cousin and my three year old cousin. I've reached the point of answering every question about it with 'don't know' or 'maybe'. Most people seem to be getting the point. I only wish mum and gran would, since I'm living with both and they have so many more chances to jump me and start asking about it. I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!! LEAVE ME ALONE! I'll figure it out in my own time, and if I want advice I'll ask for it, okay?

*sigh* Nothing's going to change, I'll just grin and bear it. I can't yell at family. Nu-uh. Throw myself into fanficiton instead, while I should be doing revision. Worked it out: i'll have a grand total of four days of revision this holiday when i meant to spend at least a week, and i know I'll lose at least one of those because mum will want to do somehting as a family before the holidays end. And I have so many past papers to do. The teachers mean well, but i'd rahter just revise. So, even less revision time, because I have to do six papers for maths and two for IT, as well as some for Physics (I think). Argh!

Have you tried asking your mother and gran to stop bugging you about it? Usually works better than blowing up at them - but if they don't stop, that's always the last option. ^_^ Works very well, too.

Anyways, glad you're getting good reviews! Ha, knew you would. ^_^

Gran's gone now, which is a relief, but yeah, I've told mum I don't need every other conversatoin to startwith 'so, are you still thinking abuot English...'. We had exactly the same conversation about the scholarshoip thing, which she went on and on and on and on and... ad infinitum about. I pointed it out her and she said she was just worried whether I'd made the right decision. She'd going exactly the same now, but because she's been to University she fels she has a right to offer advice. She only went to Kingston because it was close to home (she was a mature student, I was about 11 when she went), so she really doesn't know all that much.

oh, btw, do you have the Cambridge Prospectus? I haven't had one yet, which implies I didn't order one, but perhaps they're just being tardy about sending them. I only got Kingston's yesterday (no way I'm going there...)

I have Cambridge's - for some reason I had it when I got back from the convention. Maybe you just forgot to pick one up? I'll bring it to J's party on Friday so you can have a look through it.

So, couldn't really tell from that - is the thing with your mother sorted out yet?

Nah, but I can live with pestering. I'd feel guilty telling her to stop and she wouldn't anyway, and lots of pointed 'I don't know's and 'maybe's seem to be getting the point through. Thanks for the Cambridge thing, somehow I only got Buckinghamshire
