I got into the University of Oxford summer school! This is all kinds of excellent, not least because of the increased likelihood of getting into Oxford that seems to accompany this thing. The actual week sounds pretty great as well. (And the paper the letter was typed on had the snazziest watermark. I might take a photo because I'm far too impressed by this.)
The only downside is that I have another thing I signed up for this summer, which would be better than the summer school as it involves doing actual chemistry stuff for six weeks or so, but I can't go to both. And I don't know if I got into the six weeks thing yet. Which is made all the more troublesome due to the fact that I need to send the stuff for Oxford off pretty soon if I want to keep my place.
But either way, I'm still doing something cool this summer.
