Title: A Strange Turn of Events! :D
Post by: Miami on September 10, 2009, 10:10:59 pm
Today was one weird weird day due to one HUGE thing!
Lemme explain:

In October last year, I applied for a college called The BRIT School (http://www.brit.croydon.sch.uk/). People in the UK here might know it, if not.. then they proberly know the BRIT Awards (http://www.brits.co.uk/), they are related and work off they same funding.

I first of all, after months of waiting (until April this year), got turned down. I was really annoyed and pissed off, being turned down from the best Performing Arts college in the country... my chances had gone down the drain.

So, meanwhile I had to look for other colleges as I got turned down from the BRITs. I applied for many different ones. And recently got accepted into another college, and was going to do a National Diploma in Music. I was happy, but not super happy. And tbh, I had moved on from thinking about the BRITs. I thought I would never see that place again.. that place with all the amazing facilities, the amazing people, the amazing surroundings.

So up until 1 hour ago, I thought that I would be going to this other college that im in. But then! Something AMAZING happened. Something that.. I couln't even dream of happening.. HAPPENED. I must of been the luckiest guy on the planet!
My dad received an email from the BRIT School an hour ago saying something along the lines of; "We currently have some places open due to the fact that we have turned other applicants" the reason they turned down other people so late in this time of year - I do not know. But, what makes me SO lucky is the fact.. that they CHOSE ME :OOOO

This school gets thousands of applications each year but they are limited to accepting only a few, so for every 250 applications, around 30 are accepted! So, I must of been high up in the list of applicants first time around earlier in the year, therefore even though I got denied earlier.. now that they have open places - they have decided to give a place to me!!

I am now officially a student at the UK's best Performing Arts college!!! And I am going there tommorrow at 7AM   :banana:
I'll have to quit the other college that I got into. :P But still! I'm so happy about this!!


So like I said! I am heading there tommorrow at 7AM to sort everything out!  :D

Am I a lucky guy OR WHAT?! :D

Great news Miami-Doddles! :D

If I'm correct I think I once watched a program about The BRIT School, and they showed some of their top quality students.

And many famous musicians today, have been taught there at my age too :)
People like Amy Winehouse, Adele, Katie Melua, the lead singer of the band 'The Kooks', all of the members of 'The Feeling..

Heck, there's even a list on the college's wikipedia page! Just scroll down :D
