I havn't been shortlisted for JET2010 and I'm absolutely shattered. Rejection hasn't felt so bad. I suppose I've been avoiding it as much as I can, and now that i feel it again. It hurts me massively. My self-confidence, if any, has been dealt with such a heavy blow - was it my less-than-spectacular uni grades; was it my lackluster essay; was it my reference letters; was it my lack of uni CCAs; was it me lacking in whatever aspects??? I can't believe that I didn't even get an interview. C'est la vie?
I think I'm so stunned, I don't know how to respond...
Let's see what else I can do about this...
On another note, I've been having such an awesome weekend, i've managed to implicate my brother with my streak of bad luck. He managed to get an awful bout of scratchings on the left hand of his car when he picked me up from rah's place. We tried to clean off some of the scratch marks but most of it were pretty deep and the paint were cleanly streaked off. I feel obscenely guilty for this and yet I can't do anything much for my brother. He has to fork out a couple of hundreds to get his car a new coat of spray paint now. This just keeps getting better.
