My plans have (almost) been foiled. Waiting for priceline to reply my email and see if the tickets I was going to book has any cancellation charge, just in case I end up with vivas.

An alternative option, if I get vivas, is not to turn up at all, and go straight for the supplementary paper. Which is freaking GROSS. I do not want to do that.

Best option so far is, book the tickets (amazing, U.A. has direct flights, nonstop, to Chicago!) and study damn frigging hard so there's no chance of vivas at all. Which means I'd better start now, but arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Activation energy is too high, can't meet it as yet.
