29th February 2012: Withdrew application from Cardiff, Aston and Queen’s University Belfast. Then put the University of Nottingham as my firm choice.

1st March 2012: Booked accommodation on University Park Campus, I went for the shared en-suite. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll get Hugh Stewart Hall.

Things to be done:

• Get a student visa.
• Book flights & a hotel for my mum.
