Default Got into school

Had my entry exams yesterday and a meeting with the principal today, there were 127 applicants for 33 positions and I came fifth. Quite pleased with myself right now so time to crack open a cold pint.

So you were accepted into the school as a student or you got a job at a school, I'm kind a lost there

But still, 5th out of 127 admirable, congratulations

Fifth overall? VERY nicely done!!

This is definitely one of those cases where "Good work" leads to "Good luck!" - and more work.

Congratulations by the way - will that mean less time on the forum?

I'm sorry but I'm giggling like mad right now because I have a dirty mind and am also eight years old.


Anyway - well done, and congratulations! Which position will you be studying?

Get a job and cut your hair, you lazy college kid!






I mean: congratulations!
All the best wishes to keep motivated - motivation is one of the biggest "dangers" to studying.
