Wow, it's nearly a year since I posted a blog so I think it's about time I did

I attented an easter school at Cambridge University last week ( for 4 days) I was due to go with one of my friends but she didn't give the letter in on time so I was left with the decision to go on my own or miss out... so I decided to brave it and go alone.

I'm glad I did because I learnt loads and had a really great time. I don't think you appreciate university and student life because you build an impression on stereotypes and the media so it was good to break out of those impressions. It also reassured me that I do infact want to go to university I wasn't 100% sure before but the indepence and overall student life really appealed to me. I know I'm only doing my GCSE's now but I want to have some idea of where I'm going.

We also did alot of "social activites" as they were called; we went bowling not one of the best things for me to do but I surprised myself by winning a game I honestly didn't see that coming with my technique We also went Punting and on a ghost walk (I never realised how much history Cambridge has). Basically I'm glad I went because I would have really missed out!

I hope everyone is well

Kelly

I highly recommend going to University, although i did not goto Cambridge i went to The University Of Sunderland and they were the best 3 years of my life, socialising and meeting new people amazing and living in student halls in your first year in my opinion is a must, i did and i met some of my best friends there, then we went on to live together for 3 years after that! University should not be missed! even if you do not graduate at the end of it, you still have the experience and great friends at the end of it!

Oh and well done on winning the bowling, i am rubbish!

Hi. We have missed you. I can't wait to go to University. That sounds like a lot of fun- it's good you went alone. Bowling is the funiest sport. I just try to coping the really good people anf end in the same position and sometime it works.

Welcome back

I'm going to the Univesrity of Gloucestershire (which is not too far away from Cambridge) to study film in 2009, so hopefully I might experience similar things to what you've mentioned

I've not done lawn bowls before, but I've done french bowling . I even have my own mini french bowling set .

Sounds like you had fun. I visited a University while I was in high school for a state-wide theatre festival. It was a blast and I was shocked at how large the campus was. It made me want to go away for college, just not to one that big! And good for you for going by yourself.

I would say it is worth going on itunes and listening to the Panic! (I refuse to chnage) album just because it is such a totally radical change. There is even a folk song.

Hey Kelly. It's good to hear from you! It sounds like you had a really fun time at Cambridge. Hope to hear more from you!

I'm so glad you went, Kelly, and it sounds like it was just the thing you needed to reassure you that you want to go in that direction. College is great fun and a really special time in a young person's life. You will love it!

Nice to see you around, too...
