oh no I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get your first choice
I actually did get my first choice which was history but I'm actually considering changing it to sociology, they said I could change it after the Easter residential so if they do let me change then they might let you take my space for history if you also were thinking about changing
I'm super excited but I'm also really nervous for it haha. welcome event was really good I went on the 21st (?) Jan and met loads of new people which was very interesting
