Happy New Year

I didn’t get into Cambridge.
I found out yesterday, and as you can imagine my New Year wasn’t the greatest ever. Only 1 of my friends who applied got in.
My pride has been hurt and my already low self-confidence is now completely shattered.
I need some time to lick my wounds in peace, so I’m going on a semi-hiatus. I have exams soon anyway (not the best timing I know).
See you all soon x

EDIT: Sarah‘s blog reminded me I haven’t written down my resolutions. So here they are in all their glory:
1. Stop manipulating people – most of the time they don’t even realise I’m doing it, and it’s very addictive :P I’m not stopping for any good moral reason, mainly because it keeps backfiring on me haha.
2. Actually do some work in Andy’s and Pete’s lessons.
3. Work hard in college and get 4 As in August.
4. Lose half a stone (7 lbs)

  6. Kiki says:

    Aww, I’m so sorry about Cambridge Jenni -big hugs- But seriously, it’s their loss, they’re missing out on a wonderful student. Good luck in your exams, we’ll miss you when you’re on hiatus but you deserve a rest ;)

  7. Andi says:

    Aww hun, don’t worry about Cambridge, theres plenty of other opputunities out there for you.

  8. Emily says:

    I’m so sorry. From reading your blogs I know it meant alot to you to get in. But you know what, it’s their loss. They didn’t realise what a great, intelligent and funny (in the best sense) person you are. I hope you feel better about it soon and your going to do great in your exams.

  9. Hollie says:

    Jenni. I don’t know what to say… As Emily said, it’s their loss. You will just have to prove them wrong and do well wherever you go (and then send them your amazing results to make them regret not accepting you). Try not to worry about it. xxx

  10. Jean says:

    oh man that really stinks. I know you worked really hard and had ambitions to get int. I wish you the best of luck with whatever God has in store for you. I think the hiatus is a much deserved break for you because you’ve been working really hard both on and offline.

  11. ~Cat~ says:

    Aww sorry you didnt get in, but there are lots of oppertunities out there… somewhere… Well I hope youdo great in your upcoming exams!

  12. Jamie says:

    sorr you didn’t get in, but you make it seem like the end of the world it isn’t. There are probably people reading this blog struggling to get into a college, let along a university so can you imagine how they feel?

  13. hope says:

    im so sorry, but im sure that you will do great in your exams, as someone said befor, its their loss.

  14. ITT says:

    Aw, I’m sorry sweetie. But if only 1 of your friends who applied got in, then don’t feel bad.
    for ya! Happy New Year!

  15. Oh no! I’m so sorry for you Jenni… You must feel so sad right now… I hope you’ll get over it soon though, just be strong

  16. Tishi says:

    Oh Jenni *hugs* Dont worry. Its not the end of the world :) Remember, whatevers happening, however bad you feel, theres always someone out there who’s getting it worse than you. Remember to keep your chin up high, ’cause you know that you rock, and just because some university (ok, so maybe not just ‘some’) didnt accept you it doesnt mean you arent good enough. You deserve a break, anyway :) Good luck in your exams!!

  17. Crazy Girl says:

    Don’t feel bad. Sorry… I really don’t have any comforting words.. just, try your hardest and good luck :)

  18. Sammii says:

    I understand how you must feel, but not everyone can get accepted and it’s just one of those things. You are smart, and they would be lucky to have you. Don’t take it badly, there are lots of others out there who would kill to have a student like you. *hugz*

  19. Anna says:

    I’m sorry you didn’t get in. It’s their lose.

  20. Grace says:

    oh i’m sorry about it…hey its their loss not yours…they don’t know what the hell they’re missing…but we’re going to miss you if u went into semi-hiatus….

  21. Lara says:

    *grr* cambridge is going to miss out on so much. You’re really brilliant. Don’t worry =D I hope you feel happier and more confident soon! And have a better 2005! =)

  22. Aneta says:

    Aww I agree with Anna… it’s their loss that you didnt get in. Well, I hope you will be more cheerful when you come back from your semi-hiatus. Good luck with the exams!

  23. Baoxin says:

    Im sorry to hear that you didn’t get in. Good luck in your coming exams though! Work hard,and Im sure you’ll produce terrific results! Happy 2oo5! And I love those smilies.

  24. ~*~MeLiSsA~*~ says:

    :( …sorry to hear that!!!

  25. Niall says:

    You didn’t get in? There loss Jenni. Anyway, you’d have SOME snobby ppl that u wud probably get stuck with. Anyways work hard on your exams

  26. Lisa says:

    Cambridge are excessively elitist anyway, getting into there is more about being able to say “I went to Cambridge” than neccesarily getting the best possible education in the country. Plus, if you’re smart you can succeed in whichever university you go to (unless it’s REALLY poor) and then you have a “rising from the ashes”-style story to tell people when you’re world renouned for whatever it is you choose to become world-renouned in.

  27. Mary says:

    I couldn’t agree with Jamie more. It’s sad, but not the end of the world. You’ll get into another university right? I mean, some people just can’t get into a university ever. Because they can’t get in, don’t have the money or whatever. And if only one of your friends got in, then obviously they don’t let many people in so why would your pride be hurt so much? I really don’t get it.

  28. Arlene says:

    Omg I can’t believe you didn’t get into Cambridge! That’s awful! I would have felt the same if I didn’t get into one of my chosen universities… or was it your favourite? I remember your blog about it being very posh and that. But you’ll get into another one, won’t you? *Fingers crossed for good luck* I can’t stick to resolutions; I break them within the first day or something lol! Just wondering… did you have a collection of something when you were on Neopets? I collect plushies and Fuzzles… don’t I sound weird? Lol. See you after your semi-hiatus!

  29. Independent spirit says:

    Oh Jenni! *hugs* Im so sorry about cambridge. Just think positive and of oppertunities that ligh ahead!Loadsa love! Independent spirit

  30. Jackie says:

    Aw Jenni. I feel your pain. Make sure you have chocolate! And lots of it! I couldn’t be more sorry.

  31. Katie says:

    Awww, im sorry you never got in

    This kinda happened to me when i was applying for secondary schools. I set my heart on this huge posh lovely one….and you had to live in a certain area, which I did, but I lived a few houses out of the selected pupils. I cried :P

    It is Cambridges loss, somewhere else will get another fantastic girl

  32. Lucy says:

    Im sorry. That hurts. They are missing out on an amazingly cool person. Feel better + good luck on your exams.

  33. Jessi says:

    Aw. Poor you. I didn’t have that great a new years either though. When my old baby sitter didn’t get into the university she wanted she tryed harder and then eventully she got into her 2nd choice school.

  34. Alyssa says:

    Aww… I feel sorry that you didn’t get to Cambridge. But don’t worry, maybe you’ll get into a better university than Cambridge!!!

    Oh, Jenni… I think your resolutions are very good. I have lots of resolutions. Anyways, happy new year!!

  35. Xiu says:

    awww, poor jenni Maybe you’ll get into a better university Wish you good luck on your exams!

  36. Beth says:

    Sorry you didn’t get in There are lots of brilliant colleges out there that are just waiting to accept you in, so don’t worry too much I hope you have a great new year anyways, and quite rightly you deserve a bit of rest from the internet!
    I hope you do well in your exams, which i’m sure you will xxx

  37. Dangie says:

    Don`t worry about Cambridge, just remember theres always a reason why things happen, so maybe Cambridge just wasn`t as good as you thought

  38. Kat says:

    You should have gotten in. At least you’ve got your backup schools :) I hope that you can realise soon that it’s for the best, even though you are wondering why the hell is she saying this, no it is not. But anyways. Good luck on your resolutions love.

  39. Nicole says:

    Excuse my french but…

    FUCK CAMBRIDGE.

    You’re so much better than them if you didn’t get in there. They need to go screw themselves because they think that they’re so great.

    I’ll miss you on your semi-hiatus. Go do something rebellious while you’re gone, and manipulate people all you want for right now.

  40. Kendra says:

    Aww no!! Poor Jenni :( I’m really sorry to hear it.

  41. Casey says:

    Well, those Cambridge people will be shooting themselves when you make so much with your life. Don’t worry though, you will be happy wherever you go.

  42. Emily says:

    It’s their loss Jenni. I dunno why they didn’t accept you but they should have done. Good luck with your exams, you deserve it.

  43. Mary says:

    Why does everyone actually keep saying that it’s their loss and that they will now miss out on a smart and funny and blah blah person? Cambridge must’ve had some reason not to accept you. Not meant mean or anything, but people here are acting like Cambridge just made a silly mistake =/ Back to reality people, really. And if you don’t get into Cambridge, I’m sure you’ll get into something else. I sometimes read your blogs and your grades are great right? So there are people in the world who are worse off than you. You do have some backup universities right? So wait till you hear from them first I’d say. Not everything can go the way you want it in your life, remember that.

  44. taylor says:

    awe, jenni. its ok! it truly is! i guess that cambridge doesnt know what they’re losing. they dumb. dont worry tho, it will all be okay!

  45. *TORY* says:

    Jenni please dont go on semi hiatus and FUCK CAMBRIDGE! as someone else saidi your betetr than that if they dont want you its there loss, it happened for a reason and let the reason b hhehehehehe!

  46. Christina says:

    Jenni, I hope your confidence rise along with your happiness. You are an awesome webmistress. So sorry about what happenned. I am one of the many people that read your blogs and I know how much you wanted to get in. I know how you feel as many times I strongly wanted something and then it just slipped away. Happy New Year!

  47. ITT says:

    So I was just reading this blog again and hmm… 7lbs = a stone. Haha, I’ve never heard that term before. A stone here just means a fancy rock. Hehe, jk
