That last hurdle

So I couldn't get past the last hurdle, but you know what, I didn't trip over it either.

I got the letter today. I wasn't accepted into med school. I didn't do well enough in the interview. But I'm not too upset about it. Rather, I'm a little pissed off at their "policy of not letting candidates know the details of their interviews". Why the secrecy? Is it because there are more internal (and controversial) selection criteria that they don't want the public to know about?

If I'm lucky my second preferred med school (Griffith University) may give me a late round offer, but chances are so slim.

I can use my GAMSAT score again to apply next year, but if I still don't get accepted then, that's it. So much time (and youth) wasted already. I need to live my life.

I'm sort of moving on already. It's either work or Masters (by coursework). I've been looking around and I hope to do a this. But that means I have to move interstate (I prefer not to leave home!). But then again, it's only one year, and it's on the Gold Coast, which is much closer than, say, Perth or Adelaide. There are no post-grad Forensics courses in NSW, I can't believe it.

On the other hand, I would like to get a real job, just to get some experience in the working world.

And when I've earned enough, I'll quit my job and go to Madrid to see Ruud and Becks play at the Bernabeu before they retire in a few years time.

In summary, I hate being in a state of limbo. I'm sick of hoping and waiting for something which may become nothing in the end. I want to know what the future holds.
