I flew to London to interview for a place at the university. I was so nervous. I spent the flight worrying about what I was going to say. My hotel was okay, but I kept waking up during the night. The interview went horribly, I thought. I left the interview feeling good for nothing, sure that I hadn’t been good enough. I thought it would have been better if I had stayed at home. But the following week, I heard that I had been accepted, and suddenly the world was a beautiful place. | I just needed time for myself, so I went to London, where nobody knew me, or would even notice me. I needed to get a sense of direction again in my life. I wandered round the streets, aimlessly, until I found myself in Green Park. I sat on a bench next to an old woman, and we started to talk. We talked and talked, and I told her everything. It was like we were friends, despite the age difference. When I left, I felt better about myself and ready to resume my life. |

I had an awful weekend. On the way from the station to the hotel, someone knocked into my taxi and I ended up wheeling my suitcase through the crowded streets. At the hotel, the traffic noise was far too loud, so I had to find a different one. Then I spent the day walking round shops, but didn’t find anything I wanted and could afford. The bed in the new hotel was so uncomfortable I thought I’d never sleep. Fortunately, I was too exhausted to care. And the next day it poured with rain. So it was not a successful visit. | I was in an area where I hadn’t been for years, but I was confident I would find my way around. Things had changed, though, and soon I had no idea where I was. Then a passer-by seemed to recognise me. It was someone I hadn’t seen since secondary school. We’d been mates back then but had lost contact over the years. I could hardly recognise her, she had changed so much. If I hadn’t, quite by accident, gone down that street at that time, we would probably never have got into contact again. |

I wasn’t looking forward to it at all. First, I had to fly there, which is quite a challenge for someone who’s dead scared of flying, like me, and the turbulence on the way there didn’t help. And I didn’t know the people I’d be staying with. In fact, I didn’t really want to go there, but my parents insisted, these people were old friends of theirs. But they turned out to be really nice, not what I had expected. They were all I could have wished for, and I ended up having a fantastic time. | It had always been my dream to watch a match at Wembley, and now I had a ticket. I booked a room not too far from the stadium, and I found myself surrounded by fans staying in the same hotel. They stayed up drinking and singing until well into the night. I kept in my room, feeling sad I had no one to share this experience with. Next morning, refreshed, I had a big breakfast and made my way to the stadium. The rest of the day gave me the happiest of memories. |
