Universities

Beginning to really panic now, for a few reasons:

1. I want to study Creative Writing at the UEA, which is the most competitive of its kind because it's, kind of, the best in the country;
2. I am having doubts as to whether or not I am capable of getting onto that course;
3. I need to stay near East Anglia;
4. There are no other decent universities in East Anglia. Well, there's Cambridge, but let's be realistic.

Ugh... How do potential medical students do it? I have a friend who wants to be a doctor, and she's the cleverest person I know and yet she was telling  me that if she doesn't get straight As then, no compromise, no med school will take her. She can't afford to let herself down and, thinking about it last night, I realised that I can't either. UEA requires a minimum of AAA at A2 and after my disastrous language paper yesterday I'm wondering if I'm at all suited to any kind of English course. It's unfair.

Why couldn't I have been an astronaut? It would have been so much easier.
