Being offered a uni place before doing UCAS?

[madzone]

But that's the first half decent idea i've had in ages!

It's what I've been doing for the last 3 yrs and it sucks

Yeah, but keithy's in London! She's got her pick of the ponces.

Yay well done Madz!

Thanks

I was very very very chuffed (as anyone on my facebook will testify ) There were already 40 applicants for 18 places and the closing date ins't till the end of the month. I was with three other people and the interviewers spent ages telling us that we had to be prepared not to get in because the standard so far had been extremely high and that they wouldn't be able to tell us for at least 4 weeks.

I was looking at the other people's work and thinking 'Well, that's it, they're going to tell me to do an access or something to build a portfolio'. Everyone else had stacks of sketchbooks and paintings and shit. I had one sketchbook, a portfolio with about 10 drawings and a couple of paintings in it and a plastic box of bits that I'd made

They saw me first and I opened my portfolio and they saw the drawings and they really liked them They had a quick flick through the sketchbook, rummaged through the box and said 'Lovely! We'll have you!'

I was chuffed to little mint balls. I felt a bit bad though as they called in another woman to be interviewed and as I was leaving one of the lecturers was telling me to go to student services and tell them I'd been offered a place. As the other woman started getting her work out the other lecturer was telling her they wouldn't be able to give her a decision for 4 weeks.

I have a mate who did a stall near Brick Lane and we went down to see her - she'd been sat there all day long not having got any interest at all. I'd have sympathy bought one of her paintings but, well, they're shit.

I never had any trouble selling, if anything it was the other way round, I used to hate having to make more stuff to replace what they'd bought That and having to be nice to people all day, doesn't come easy to me. It got to the point where I was starting to get big orders from outlets and I realised that I don't actually want to make more than one of anything

Spolied, precious, lazy.......
