How did you hear?: Letter (Thin and white)
How do you feel? Totally unexpected and I doubt it's sunk in. My reaction when first finding out may have seemed apathetic to anyone who saw me. However, I was kind of shocked and too bewildered to actually react.

How did you hear? (eg letter/phone/owl):e-mail, I requested for it
How do you feel? BEST DAY EVER!! Though not as excited and surprised as I expected..I guess that's because I was pretty sure I would get an offer... I've already taken the STEP 1 2 and got two S, perhaps that's why the conditions are not quite difficult. A in Further Maths? I thought It would be A*, LOL.
