Goes to whoever the hell decided to offer me a place in Uni. of Edinburgh. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and be prepared for the disappointment. Just a heads up.

The person of the day goes to the man at the Uni. of Aberdeen Parents’ Evening last night with the finely combed mustache who taught me that it’s not just Germans who aren’t fond of the good old British queue - most Europeans dislike it. He also taught me why.

Goes to Jessica, the nut. If you ever do end up with a room-mate, I strongly recommend not waking them up by violently swinging a tote bag at their head. Just saying, that could cause tension… hehe.

Rosemary, for getting me a book voucher.
Yes, this has excited me no end. Think I’ll get a John Green novel. Hmm.

One university offer from Nottingham, and finally two from Aberdeen that I’ve been waiting for. And, hey ho, they’re attainable grades! Relief!

The person of the day is Kathryn, for being my little-not-really sis, who’s also a fair bit taller than me, and has been since P4. Just for being herself :)

Dominic Peckham, for managing to get through approximately 26 shirts a day, making a choir more excited about performing than they ever thought they could be, having the hairiest arms in the United Kingdom, making me die of laughter at every possible opportunity available, making sure to say hello, Heather! after an entire year of not seeing me, being one of the most skilled singers (a...

waiting, waiting, waiting
I can’t be the only one to have this feeling of waiting. Hanging on in anticipation for a catalyst for life as you’re meant to be living it.

Chloé is Saturday’s person of the day, for our undying love of Benedict Cumberbatch, having a wee paper-cup of Shloer at lunch, helping me out of the school car-park the first day I parked there and I was stuck between a wall and Mr. Reid’s car, and being successfully employed as a 24-hour cockblock ;)
