good for you!
I'm not at my first choice school, but I've discovered that it's a blessing that I'm where I am.
I hope you find the same about your new school.

That is totally awesome!
((Alex))
BUT....oh no...oh my goodness....
all of Babble must prepare to duck, weave and just get out of the way of the unbelievably loud, long, joyful and wild HAPPY DANCE we are going to witness from your dear friend, Damos!!!!!
Though I'll take a guess you'll be in differnt cities...(?)...still..in the same country!! Whoo-hoo!!
OMG!! (does he know?)
(how's his cardiac status?!!)
(did you provide calming meds for him with the good news?)
Love seeing three of these from you...
:-)
:-)
:-)Good things come to those who wait? And perservere....and fight....and struggle....and vent....and despair....and recover....and survive..and [of course] help everyone else on Babble in the meantime!
[you get the idea ;-)]
Congratulations!!

thanks everyone :-)
yeah...
i do believe it will motivate me now.
i'm not sure whether the official offer will be dependent on a completion but best not push it ;-)
and i am pretty close.still waiting to hear from the other places...
but at least i know i'm actually going to be doing it.
i would really have been very very very upset if i hadn't gotten in anywhere
again...but its okay.
and plenty of time to freak out later...yeah, i'll be able to babble from that end
:-)

thanks.
i think... i requested different start dates from the different places and i can't exactly remember...
and i'll wait to see whether i get more offers before deciding.
they just notified by email so i have to wait for the formal offer to arrive...but somewhere between mid feb and late march next year...

but still waiting on the place i most want to go to.wow.
:-)
i can't believe it.

i was really very careful not to get my hopes / expectations up too much
because... i kind of did about going to the US
and i was pretty upset when it didn't happen
:-(
so i was planning for that...
going to switch to studying biology and politics
:-)
but yeah...
i'm actually going to be moving :-)
i'll miss everyone here...
(at my current uni)
but...
it is most definately...
time to move on.its just that it is so bloody hot in australia :-(
and i am a jeans kind of person...
last time i went...
i almost had to buy shorts...
almost...
but not quite ;-)
