Well as some of you know I had a voicemail on thurs from admissions at brighton to ask me to ring them regarding base site. I phoned straight back but it was 5 past 4 and they close at 4. So was straight on the phone on constant redial at 9am yesterday morning. It was just constantly engaged or went to voicemail. I emailed too but no responce. I then phoned thru to the school of nursing and midwifery and was told the lady I needed to speak to was off and that I had to ring back monday and no noboby else could help as they didnt know what it was about.
A whole weekend of worrying.
Now I decided it wasnt good as Sooz didnt have a call and we both want the same base site so I had decided in my head that it was to tell me I hadnt got the base site I wanted.
Anyway so last night just before going to sleep, I quickly had a look at another forum and there were two posts on there from thursday. One from Swissmiss saying she had had a phone call to say she hadnt got either her 1st or 2nd choice so she could either defer a year with the guarantee that she had her 1st choice next year or opt to travel to one of the others.
Emmakirk said exactly the same and they are both deferring. Now this was just before I went to bed and I was so upset. Sorry sooz for disserting u like that just didnt want to be in floods of tears.
I so wish I hadnt read it, its a stupid site anyway, I dunno why I logged on. But as much as OH and his mum keep saying wait until monday as your voicemail might be something completely different, but I know it isnt. Its too much of a coincidence.
I was working out with J ™ the other night how long it would take to get to the other places and I just cant go anywhere else. I know I said in interview that I would consider....but having now found out that I cant get a student loan, there is no way I can move out of here and just have the bursery coming in, as if I cant pay rent at least here I am with OHs mum so she would help me, but if I was out in student accom I would be thrown out.
I am so gutted.
All I can do I guess is wait until monday and then see if I can appeal or have it looked at again, with the view of looking into the fact that I cant get a student loan so cant move out and just wouldnt be able to afford to petrol to get to somewhere else. If they offered me brighton that wouldnt be too bad, but if I read it correctly both swissmiss and emmakirk both wanted brighton, so I guess thats out of the question.
I cant help but feel absolutly deflated and miserable about it. I was so looking forward to it.

I'm sorry to hear about ur situation my dear, but as you know wait till monday until they confirm wat u think they r going to say. There is still a slim chance it may be something completly different. If it is your worst fears you can then start to decide wat u r going to do. My heart really goes out to u if u just want to off load just come on here we r all ready to listen and help as much as we can...

Oh Jen I am sorry that you feel so down. I know you are convinced it is bad news but you don't know for sure. I really hope it is a different story for you than the others.

If not, and you get the option to defer with a guaranteed first choice next year, would that really be the end of the world? I know how much you want to do this as soon as possible, we all do, but some people have to wait a year without knowing if they'll get in even then, even if you have to wait a year, you will still know you are definitely going to realise your dream and you are still young enough for a year not to make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

I really hope it's good news for you. x

I wish I could say something to make you feel better, but I guess there isn't.

Try to distract yourself as much as poss this weekend, hang out with us lot you love you loads and try not to think about it huh? (I know easier said than done and all that)

I'm a firm beleiver in thinknig the worst. so I won't say it won't be bad news, because it probably is (that's what phone calls are usually for huh?)

huge hugs to you, hun. Whatever happens we will be here to support you, so you're not alone

thanks guys,
thing is before I received my offer, I was convinced that I hadnt got the place and so in a way was upset that I had got the offer as it meant the decision was not gonna be taken out of my hands and I would now have to decide whether to do it or not. But when the offer came, I knew I would be stupid to not grab the opportunity by both hands. I also thought about deferring for the year if I did get an offer but didnt think that I would be able to as didnt think brighton would want me to.
Dory- the reason I cant have a student loan is because I have had one before so I cannot have one now. Which means it will be so difficult and at least if I live with OHs mum if I cannot pay rent for a month she wont chuck me out or whatever.
If I think about deferring now, it just really upsets me as I was so prepared for this sep. and have met some of my cohort (sp???) and have become quite friendly with a few of them so I would hate to not be able to start with them. And I have already been waiting for 2 years so am really raring to go, just cant imagine surviving another year without being able to start my dream. So far I only know of Sooz who wants Worthing....and there must be more than 1 place....maybe theres loads of worthinites that we dont know of.
Yeh I'm trying my hardest to not think about it until monday. Been teaching all day today and going to buy a wedding dress with OHs mum tomorrow so that will hopefully take my mind away.
I start my new job on mon at 9 so cant phone until 1pm when I finish
