I've finalised my top three, and my final choice, so I'm down to picking my fourth option. I need to look through everything carefully, and take everything into consideration.
My list stands at:
Brighton
Kent
Reading
[whatever goes here]
Bournemouth
It all feels a bit too grown up for my liking. On top of this, I need to get a job to pay for my trips to Open Days, since my family can't afford to help me get there, and I feel bad that Moony has to keep paying for my flights, so I intend to see if I can pay back for that in any way. I already plan to pay for us both to get back to mine from Bournemouth.
We've got the tickets for Summer, and the plan is that Moony meets me at Bournemouth coach station, which is directly opposite the train station, and we spend the weekend in Bournemouth for Pride (or rather, Bourne Free), then travel back to mine on Sunday. Then we attend my school for the few days left of term, then return to Sweden together a week or so after she's arrived. I'll stay there for a whole fucking month, including a trip down south of Sweden to a family gathering, then come back to England for two weeks until my last year of sixth form begins and we start sending in applications for Uni.
I've asked for a railcard for my birthday to make train trips cheaper for me, and my first choice, Brighton, informed me that they'll give me a list of places that I can live with Moony, since I can't stay on campus if she isn't attending the same Uni, and they'll tell me how to get to each location, I'll go along, I'll pick a flat, and we're done. But I'll need to get there, so any help is good, obviously.
I've had offers from a mate to give me a lift to Brighton, despite her living at the other side of the country, and a back up on getting the train with me to assist transferring my belongings. I promised a place to stay for the night in return. One of my best friends turned out to have the same top three, so we're going to investigate them together. This will be all so much cheaper with my railcard.
Me and Moony have the same taste, so at least I won't have to worry that we disagree on places. I'll have to take a lot of photos to keep track. But I'll move in there, then Moony will come down and already have somewhere without having to travel to where I live now, then travel up again. A good side to this is that I won't have the stupid thing of having to find a new place at the end of my first year, and so on. We'll just have somewhere of our own.
So in a way, I can't wait. It's going to be terrifying, and I'll be totally on my own with the one person in my life that matters, and thrown into a new stage of education, but it's going to be so worth it. I can't imagine my life taking any other direction. We've been planning this since we met, and it's happening next year.
Closer to home, my exams are next month, and I can't stress enough how stressed I am. I'm doing all I can, but focusing is difficult. My binder feels fantastic, so I no longer have to fuss about my bandages, which is a relief, and I can actually breathe, but school is a little on the worrying side at the moment.
But Doctor Who is good, so that's something. And Moony wrote something about long distance relationship advice that may be helpful.
