yeah. Wooooo. A real bonus.
I also have a headache and heartbreak.
It seems that they do it differently each year - sometimes rejections have come first and sometimes after! Who knows :/

I've given up. I'm going to get a time machine and go back and not apply. I feel that process may be faster than this waiting.

:/ Like I'm literally doing anything now to pass the time. Which apparently includes self portraits. Who would have known
just wondering about the future - will a local foundation degree disadvantage me at all from applying to degree courses next year? (do i reapply this September or next D:smile:

It depends where you get in and if you want to do there. If Slade reject you, but you still get another good place. Will you reapply? Hmmm
Tough questions

Yeah I probably will do foundation. I don't feel like it's a wise choice to go to university without the foundation (I mean a year of doing art is certainly helpful). It will just equip me so much better so yeah I think it's important I do it whatever offers I may get (only waiting on UCL and Edinburgh now but I loved Edinburgh)

Ahhhh

I just found the department very impressive and speaking to the tutors I just thought I could slip right in - I applied for the 5 year MA in Fine Art. It's 50% Art and 50% Art History so perhaps a bit more academic then other degrees

However, Edinburgh as a place wasn't my favorite at all so I was torn.

I think foundation is the best option for me to gather myself a bit more and recover from the decade and a bit of torture aka. school.

I know! It will be tough if I do get in as it's a fairly competitive course. I don't know really.

I feel like part of me is looking for the course and part of me is looking for the place and just the general feel. (then the other part of me is considering architecture D: )
