AAA (05 entry)

Incredibly Happy!

Commiserations to those rejected, and I would add that I had a reaction all planned for being rejected, for me at least the offer was a suprise to an extent.
I am genuinely confident that you will all achieve everything you are capable of elsewhere, as I knew I would if rejected.
