Have any more people heard from PW for Spring? I'm starting to think it's a PFO

 

[jojo23]

Anyone else had a responseless week? I’m bored now x

I got 3 pfo's within a 24 hour timeframe... (dla, nrf and cooley). The dla one was particularly aggrevating since they asked me about reasonable adjustments, said theyd note it down but didnt apply them
Im built different, i guess.

One thing I’ve learnt this cycle is that I’m not nonchalant… I’m actually sat here irritated about something I went out of my way to find out

Getting a TC really is like being in a toxic relationship LOOL

 

[Afuturetrainee]

No. People literally got tests today

I’m stuck on Covington’s question: “If you could witness any event, past, present, or future firsthand, what would it be and why?” Honestly, I’d like to witness what a successful answer to that question looks like..

I went way too into detail about why I would want to experience being in the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis........... at least it explains my A* in A-level History??
