architecture PS, need URGENT HELP, SEND OF TOMORROW >.<

Hi guys im new to this forum. Im actually running very very very late (pls dont ask why :frown: ) in sending off my ucas form, and need URGENT help. im applying for architecture at some unis in and around london. Im sending the ucas form off myself, so im not actually getting anyone to go over it for me.
i have the reference done already, by my chemsitry teacher, which is pants :frown:. so im going to need a good personal statment. please give me some tips/ideas on what i can add to the following:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the past years I have taken A-level biology, maths and physics. I have found these subjects interesting since GCSE. Of the three I find I am good at maths in particular.

I decided to pursue a course in computer science after the A-levels, however after further consideration I found that, that course does not offer as much freedom of creativity as I would like. I hence decided to take a gap year.

I thoroughly enjoyed producing technical diagrams in graphics products class in the years of GCSE. For a piece of coursework I used a CAD program called AutoCAD to design a modern bedroom in 3D. I find I enjoy designing buildings and drawing them from different perspectives. Looking at modern complexes inspires me in my designs. For this reason I wish to take architecture as a future career as this is what I would like to do in the future.

In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, drawing and exploring the internet. It is from looking at other peoples graphical designs and art work on the internet in which helps me develop my own ideas. I have a good understanding of how to operate computers and in the past, enjoyed programming. I like to keep up with technological advances, finding out about new innovations from magazines such as NewScientist and other sources from the internet.

I am looking forward to what this course offers and eagerly wait for acceptance.

that, that <-- bad grammar :smile:

Talk more about architecture! Also, I don't like your last sentence; it's too general. www.studential.com is a great place for advice, incidentally.
