UCAS

It's university applications time and stress has inevitably ensued. Mine was sent on Christmas day (only to add to the abject bleakness of that particular day) and I have, so far, received one reply - a rejection. Needless to say I'm completely downcast. 

• Granted it was a huge stretch of the imagination expecting to get in anyway with grades well below the entry requirements. 
• Granted I can't afford to pay for an English uni as well as the cost of living in London. #
• Also granted I have attachments here in Scotland and I wouldn't leave certain people here for anything. 

But that still doesn't take away from the fact that it is a rejection. They still don't want me there; I am still not good enough for them. I just get angrier and sadder. On the upside though, I was on the online forum 'The Student Room' and was looking through a couple of general threads about UCAS offers. Basically, some of the people on that site (most of whom have gained conditionals) are a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Surely if they can get in somewhere then someone like me who has, at least, a grain of common sense can. And if not, then I wouldn't want to be there anyway ;).
