    Hey! Yes I did it last week. SJT results were mixed, but I scored highly for adaptability and intellectual curiosity.

    One day.. ONE DAY we will look back and laugh at all these struggles!! The fact that we have to donate a kidney just to get considered for an open day is actually hilarious (I say this now but you should see my face whenever I get the rejection emails lmao). I’m at work, sneaking in some uni...
