got an offer

Well go me, again! I had forgotten to ask a sightie for my VTAC number (which is written down in black and white on my form) so, I can't log into my info on the VTAC site, so I did the next best thing; - looked all over the net for the offers in the herald sun, and I found them, and I eventually read up on the instructions, and looked up Keyte, and sure enough, there was a Keyte NK and, a Keyte RD! not kiddin! so .. I looked up my course code on another page and, it was teaching/science! then I discovered after another while it was Deakin Melbourne. Yes, I was sooo excited when I saw my name! but, when I realized it was deakin, I don't want to now count my chickens because, as well as being one of a few out of thousands who was a victom of a VTAC error a few years ago, i never ended up filling out this other additional form which I had meant to in December for that particular course. I had thought, ah forget it since it wasn't my first preference and by then it was too late to change preferences. damnit, should have done that too. this was my fourth or fifth preference. i checked to see if I had another offer, but it didn't seem like i did. - maybe next round I could get one! but, for now, I will just wait to get the official letter, since I am not able to accept it officially damnit!
now i am trying to call people but no-one is there! *grr*
course as teaching is definitely a first preference of mine, that goes well with me, but the sciences? i dunno; unless, of course, Psychology; which is what I wanted to teach! wow, that goes down not so bad now! keep forgetting Psych is a Science.
well, I can be half excited but, as I say, won't count chickens as not having filled out that form they'd wanted me too confuses me now.
My name is definitely there though!
til next time, RdFreak

You got in to uni - how exciting!

My husband got his enrolment details yesterday, he's so excited about it I got to the point where after he'd run out to tell me something for the ninetieth time, I almost told him to shut up! =) (But I didn't... I just remembered how excited I was when I got into uni).

oooh awesome! :) when does he start? not sure when I'd start yet; guess will find out in the official offer letter. I think the unis here tend to start early march. :)

Rachel,
Congratulations with getting into Uni. A teaching job would be fab. I always wanted to go to uni but after getting rejected after year 12 I never tried again, but went to TAFE instead.
Hope all goes well for you.
Cheers
Melissa

hi Melissa, thanks so much! :) well I got rejected after year 12. it's so much easier to get in as mature age, as I just did. so I'll say, if it's what you really want, go for it girl! :) TAFE is great too! I stuided there as well, as ya know :)

Heya Rachel,
I'm an idiot, lost your email address, so I had to comment here.

Congrats on the uni offer, nice one!

Enjoy every second of it and if there are job offers, see what arrangement you can come to so you can do uni and jobs, they're both very important.

Sometimes once you've gotten in and started a course, there are options to transfer to something different if you're not happy in what you're doing. See how you go.

Have a blast chickie and email me sometime if you want.

Cheers

Rocky
