News of Bun

[pensnest]

Well, phew!

Yesterday was... tense. Very tense.

It was A-Level results day. Bun didn't quite make the grades she needed to get to the university she's set her heart on. Much quivering. Telephone call to see whether they'd have her anyway: please call back tomorrow afternoon... Purchase of newspaper, perusal of Clearing vacancies, noting with interest that her second-choice uni had space on the Chemical Physics course.

Late afternoon, I checked her status on the UCAS website, and there was much rejoicing at the word *Accepted* next to Bristol University. Omigod. Squeaks, cuddles, and communion with tissues. Confirmed it on the phone this afternoon.

Jeez, what a relief!

Oh god, I remember all that shit I had to go through with UCAS last year. Congratulations to her! :)

WOOHOO! I'm so pleased for you both. You must be very proud.

Thank you. :-) I am very relieved.

[pensnest]

Yep - and so relieved, cos she really, really wanted to go there.
You must be pretty weary by now!

[pensnest]

Thank you - yes, it's an unnerving time. Phew...

Nah, it's been easy for me. Mostly it's been happy news I get to give, just a few sad ones.
I hear good things about Bristol, I'm sure she'll have a great time there.

YAY! Congrats to her!

Yay, congratulations to your daughter!

[pensnest]

Ah - like after auditions, then. I like calling the people who got the part, it's just them others...

[pensnest]

Yay indeed! :-D

[pensnest]

Thank you - I shall prod her into looking at LJ to see the congrats, but for the moment she is gazing enraptured at Angel:the series.

Oh, good news! Pass on congratulations from archie_gremlin and me.

[pensnest]

I will indeed. Cheers! (She is concocting a chocolate roulade at the moment, so the kitchen is in even more chaos than usual, but the lickings from the bowl were good. It's possible I have not entirely grown up yet.)
