QMUL extension denied. Kind of expected. Would have to reapply if I desire to return. Fair enough, really. Even though it doesn't look like it at the moment, and I'm still suffering immense hopelessness and despair about the direction I am going, I guess as one door closes another will somewhere open. Could easily reapply for Sept 2018, but I don't really want a further $20,000 on top of my already ~$45,000 worth of student loans. Need to be smart about this now. Hopefully my BA in Poli Sci will be enough to land a decent job somewhere. Sigh. guigsysEstring

I´m having a nervous crisis. Fuck...and i´m not gonna calm down that much until next Tuesday...basically i´m gonna vent off here:
I´m a former Management student, i did two years at a college in Braga but i decided it was not what i liked and took a year off, did some work in social projects in the area i live as a computer teacher to elderly people. It went well and i go some money off it as well. In the meantime i started planning for my return to college. I decided i had two options, the first would be the degree i really wanted, which is basically Foreign Languages applied to Business Relationships(might be a bad translation), and the second one is more focused on Languages but the first year is pretty much equal between them two and normally who has good grades can ask for a transfer for the degree i really want and they are both on the same college.
Education in Portugal is Public and Private. I don´t have money to go to Private so i have to try my luck in a National Contest. Basically you have an average of grades during high school and that counts 60% and then you have a admission exam(which changes regarding the degree you want and you have two phases where you do it, and while you can use the first phase exams in any of the two phases of the National Contest, the second phase exams can only be used on the second) and that counts 40%. After those math operations you have the average you apply to that contest.
Until here all normal, i have an average of grades of 16,3, and an admission exam of 18, both on a scale of 20. Which makes my average a 16,98 for the National Contest...on the second phase i mentioned. I compared the evolution of the averages on the degrees i wanted during the years and i was very very confident that i had my second option as a sure thought at least. Heck, i even went as i mentioned to a tour around the college with a friend and a girl he presented to me, i was fucking calm about it. I mean the average of the first phase was 15,92, and while i could not enter there because my admission exam of the first phase was a disaster, i had more than 1 value of margin for the second phase and last year second phase´s average was 16,00, which means i have a 0,98 margin, and all of this made me calm. And now at midnight i open the editorial with all the spots available...and while there´s normally from 7 to 12 spots on that second option...this year there´s only two...and while it´s true i have as i mentioned a 0,98 margin...it´s also true there has never been as few spots available for admission...
I´m very very nervous right now, i never thought i could be facing a serious risk of not entering college again this year. For fucks sake...i just want to get my life back on track for fucks sake. Sorry for the Wall of text.

The decline by QMUL is a blow but it is not the end of the world (it's not even the end of a day to quote a maligned BE tune) and what you should now firstly look at is whether the career ambitions you had with the QMUL qualifications are worth the additional student loans and if so you need to prepare yourself with support to get through your time in London. If it is not viable or you do not feel it would be suitable for you to return to London then have you looked at alternative US college courses? The loss of a place at QMUL does not necessarily mean the end of your education, nor does it mean a linear route of falling back on your BA. Take your time and find a path that will suit your educational and health requirements and remember you are pushing forward out of this dark period of your life, as Let It Bleed has previously said do you really want to be in care for the rest of your life? London and indeed the world will still be there if you end up studying in the USA, and if you are travelling after qualifications with a better paying career on vacation time for example then you may be able to enjoy the experience all the more. As always best and good luck with your choices, Guigs

So last night I experienced a minor earthquake which woke me up screaming, thinking that a bomb went off. Welcome to California, indeed.

I was watching BBC 1 yesterday and suddenly Liam's face came on the screen. I was like "ha, Liam. What are you doing there?" It was a preview for him on Backstage Pass.

I need an aux cable for my car stereo so badly... I'm getting tired of playing same CDs all night.
I mean, I'm driving like 1000km per week and all I have is boring radio stations or and CDs.

It sickens me that people can't for 3 minutes be civil to a youth race caller. Luke Humphries is I admit still learning but he has had every comment from arsehole to shoot the caller. You idiots want a terrible caller? Craig Evans is much more terrible.
(Could someone please get me a pic of Bazire or Aubrion Du Gers before I get really pissed?)
