Eighteen days. That's it. Then I'll be off to Aberystwyth (yes, I'm going to Wales to study English - let it GO already!) I go from being really enthusiastic and excited one minute, to being absolutely terrified, shaking and scared. Is that normal?
I started making a list of everything I still have to do to get ready and gave up because it just depressed me how unprepared I actually am. I'm getting sick of waiting now, and it's making me more nervous. I just want to be there already!
I got my transfer sorted out, and the manager down at the Aber store seemed really nice on the phone, really friendly, so it shouldn't be that bad!
I'm going to miss everyone so much, but it's time I made some changes and learnt to look after myself.

Congratulations for getting into university! I'm just about to start my second year at Middlesex University. Don't worry, because there are thousands of first years in the same position as you! They're all looking for new friends, and the students who are living in halls have also left friends behind. Don't panic, it's not that scary!
