My first open day

The title says it all... Today, I have been to my first university open day... YEY!! :D I still cannot believe that the time has FINALLY come around... I have been looking at universities for 6 to 7 years now... I knew my way around the UCAS website perfectly when I was in year 7, so to think that this is actually happening is slightly scary, but soooooo exciting :D
Today was amaazing though, I went to look at Royal Holloway, and oh my god, it was sooo much more than I dreamed it would be. The Victorian building was just as stunning as it looked in the pictures, but I wasn't drawn in by that to give up having a kitchen for a year. I loved the look of the building, but I want to be able to choose what I eat, and I couldn't put up with not being able to bake whenever I feel like it. Plus, the rooms were teenie, as in smaller than my pitiful excuse for a bedroom, so I have multiple excuses. Aaaand, the other modern accommodation looked beaaautiful, there's a little wood thing next to them, and I think that you'll be able to see the Victorian building from it too, and It's self-catered woop!
Ok, onto important things, such as the course. Eeeee, it looked ah-maaaazing... I couldn't find the areas that the lecturers specialised in on the website, but the one who was giving us a tour.. Dr. Tony Stead? .. anyway, him... He was a plant biologist! :D AND so were others there... It's like my perfect dream of a university with specialists in plant biology! It will take a lot to beat it I think... But, this is MAJOR motivation for my summer exams now... COME ON ZOE!
Ok, yeah, I'm excited, and I absolutely adore the look of it :) I'll sign off now and calm down.. but... Eeeeeeee! :D
