Mind the gap.

Because I haven't updated this in ages, you won't know. But I have made no secret of the fact that I HATE my university course. Hate.
All of the practical aspects that I anticipated it to have were, in fact, replaced with maths and making radios. MAKING radios - from scratch, soldering and all. Which is COMPLETELY not what I wanted.
I decided I'll give it to the end of the year - if I quit I'd have to give up my place in halls, return my loan and my scholarship. So from a financial and social perspective, I decided to stay.
And then I found this amazing course. It's something I kind of touched upon in college and loved. It's arts and festival management and sounded incredible.
So I met up with the course leader and he told me everything about this course which made it sound even better (did you know that as part of the first year you put on an event at the leicester comedy festival? No? Well, it is a big deal!) but then
Disaster struck.
I can't join the course in September 2010 which is what I wanted to do.
Me and my two really good friends already have a student house for the next year so I was hoping I'd be able to get onto the course and keep the house and everything will be excellent!
But no.
So now, my options are very limited. Even if I am allowed to stay in the house, I couldn't afford it without my loan and to get my loan, I need to be studying the course I am at the moment which I really don't want to do.

So
I'm thinking of cutting my loses and having a gap year.
But I'm scared and it worries me about letting my friends down with the house.
I've found some amazing travel trips and it is all quite exciting.
But I really, really don't know what to do.

Like, at all.
