My dad worked out the odds were 43 to 1 against it, but somehow my karma boat has finally come in and I've been accepted as one of the 12 undergrad students to study film at VCA! I totally pulled a Duckie when I got word - Goodbye shitty Grimsby! I'll miss your fish n' chip suppers but little else.
There's so much to organize before I start at the end of February, I'm bowled over. My life had been on hold waiting to hear how I got on but now it's been jammed into first gear and much shit is to be done. Find a place to live! Rediscover my summer wardrobe! A trip to London to bid my English darlings adieu! I have to watch 2 series of the Wire!
Had i been rejected I was facing a year at home doing a most likely rewarding London University correspondence law degree but I'm A LOT happier starting afresh down under, continuing, against all common sense and my threshold for exhaustion, to make movies. I have family over there so it's not my usual drastic sea change but this is serious stuff all the same.
My birthday was a bit of a mixed bag and I'll write about it once I've come down from my current high... hot damn, my life restarts NOW!
congrats love!
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAAAYYYYY.
ReplyDeleteI told you Victoria College of Art was the bomb! Also, you know to expect a visit from me at some point once I get fabulously wealthy off of grad school student loans, right? Melbourne is one of my favorite cities.
ALSO: What DIDN'T you get for your bday that you want me to get you? I'm holding off sending you a complete (and vastly late) package until I hear word.
