Updates...

Firstly, all the nonsense with the Student Loan seems to have been cleared up. I actually got 2 letters from them this week, from the relevant departments, apologising for their mistakes and clearing up all the grey areas. So hopefully, all is good on that front.

Secondly, that interview... The interviewer said he'd call me in three to four days. It's been seven. That doesn't look so good. What's more disappointing however is that means my hot streak of 4 successful interviews in a row has come to an end. I'm now 4 from 7 overall.

Thirdly, training for the Marathon is getting better. I had a cracking session this morning, completing 2 miles (only 1.5 jogging) in under twenty minutes. I'm very pleased with that. I felt relaxed and comfortable while I was running, which made me feel even better.

So I have some positives and some negatives to build upon over the next few weeks.

And So It Goes On...

The Student Loans Dumbasses have actually given me a loan worth £7,903... two whole months after I cancelled my application for it!

These are the same people who have decided that my "Final" assessment for money from last year was so final and so important that they reassessed it two weeks ago, even though thousands of students are still waiting for their assessments for this year...

These are the same people who generated a phantom application for a loan under my name, and then went mad at me when I actually applied for one...

These people are a joke! Somebody should turn the student loans application system into a stand-up comedy show and take it on tour around the UK. It would be a sell out...

What Shall I Do?

I still don't know what's happening with my life. I'm supposed to be registering for uni this week so I can attend induction week next week, but I haven't been sent the log on details I need to do that online, and I also have heard no more about my loan, which I need to pay during registration.

My mum has told me that she'll nick some money from her senile mother to pay my tuition fees, but I'll have to stay living in this dump, with the entire family because I won't have enough money to rent my own place... So that is not an ideal option at all...

But at the moment it seems to be the only option; Student Finance England are waste of time, Kent County Council are a joke, and Yes Loans said No to me...

Maybe I should just run away. I hear New York City is a cool place...

Student Loan

So, here's the deal...

They (Student Finance England) claim I applied twice for a student loan for this year. I didn't, I only applied once. But SFE are adamant that I did, so they sent me a cancellation form so that I could cancel one of my two applications. I filled this in and sent off to them. I got no response.

So on Tuesday, I checked my account on their website, and it shows only one application and it's status is "Cancelled". So I called them up to find out why it had been cancelled. The Scottish girl on the phone says it because I filled in a cancellation form, so I explained that I filled that form in for my other phantom application, as that was what I was told to do.

After a lengthy discussion about whether or not two applications had been made, she decided that the only solution is for me to fill in another application form... That would be my second, or my "third".

Let's hope it gets paid in time for me to pay the first part of my tuition fees, in two and a half weeks time... It doesn't seem all that likely though.

Highs and Lows

So I viewed those two flats... and oh my god! Laura, who works for Your Move, who showed me around the second flat yesterday, is so beautiful! I don't want my own flat, I want to share with her...

She has an amazing voice too, I'd spoken to her a couple of times on the phone and I'd built up this image in my head of what I thought she looked like, and I was so wrong. She's more beautiful than I could ever have imagined... And that smile... wow!

Viewing flats in Chatham was worth all the time it took just to see her...

But, afterwards I found out that my application for a student loan has been cancelled, which means I won't be able to afford a flat to rent, and more importantly, I won't be able to afford to study at uni... I've emailed the student loans people to ask them to reconsider, but if they don't, then I'm stuck in Margate, stuck in this house with my fucking family...

By the way, recently my mum fell over and has something unknown wrong with her knee. She is currently on crutches until they can work out what is wrong with it. Also, three of my four grandparents have been diagnosed with cancer in the last two months... Joy...

Peace and Love

BTW, another low - Ana Ivanovic lost in 1st round of the US Open... Misery is everywhere I turn...
