Greetings
all. I'm Katy, I'm 19 years of age and on October 11th I'll be getting
round to starting my degree.
By
this date I will hopefully have my accommodation details, have filled
in the thousands of pieces of paper York keep sending me and be
generally packed and ready to go.
I've
read all the essential pieces of information, about insurance and
student loans, in fact I don't know if I could be much more prepared.
However, chances at some point in the first week I will have realise
that there was something I forgot to do.
I've
spent my life living in Chester, that's right the supposed home
of Hollyoaks. I'm moving from a city with tourists, Roman walls
and a large racecourse to a different city, also with tourists,
Roman walls and a large racecourse! York should be fairly familiar
then.
I decided
to take a year out before entering university. After the pleasures
of A Level I decided I needed a break from exams so I decided to
spend six months working in a school in Canada.
I
had the most fantastic of times, it was the kind of experience that
sticks with you for life. I can now sail a tall ship, ski and catch
and gut a fish.
As
I couldn't find a job that required that combination of skills I'm
taking something a little more relevant - History.
Well
some of you may not think it THAT relevant - However if I wish to
become a secondary school History teacher it is fairly important.
I'm
not really to sure what I'm expecting out of university. I'm looking
forward to the social side of things. It also seems a good chance
to try out some new sport maybe.
I think
overall I'm just trying to go in with an open mind and see what
this first year holds.
Katy
