So I've had an unconventional life thus far, I've never stayed in one school for long because my family likes to roam, I came to England from Colorado to finish my schooling. The last two years of high school are separate here, and they're called sixth form, and its optional. I did the two years and i took film studies, modern history and English literature. I got a B in Film and D's in the other two. I just finished a gap year, which is just a year long break between high school and college, I got a job and I feel like I function better in British society now than I used to. English people are often very emotionally deceptive. They offer you things you aren't supposed to accept and apologize to you when it's insanely unnecessary, and if you don't know some unwritten rules you run the risk of being seen as rude. After a long painful tiff with my friends who I've been hanging out with all through Sixth Form I think I understand how to act in British society a little better. My amazing girlfriend helped me a lot with this. Anyway, I applied to 5 British Film Schools and got accepted to three solely on my B in Film and my personal statement, which was lucky. I went on tours and chose my school, where I will be taking either Film/Drama or Film/Creative Writing. My girlfriend is doing Zoological Conservation in Cornwall which is a 4 hour train ride away from my London uni. We decided that we wouldn't break up, but we would shag other people, because we're both slags and we would die of suspicion if we tried long distance, its uni and there's gonna be sex. I start school in September, and every month closer I get I start to get more worried, and it's not even over anything specific, it's just that this is a huge change for me, I'm a really social person and all of my friends are gonna be away from me for three years, I just hope that I'm prepared for whatever happens or whoever I meet in uni. I also really hope i can find someone who likes herb, I'm leaving behind all my smoking buddies.
I wish my cat would get off of me.
But yeah so that's my situation, I know I haven't exactly stated any problems or asked any questions, but I really just wanna know if I'm doing everything right, sometimes it's hard not to feel like a fraud.
Thanks for your help!

P.S.- Why isn't there a Books section on the forums with movies and games? Reading Phillip K. Dick baked is a real journey.
