I honestly can't believe I got an interview. I have checked it like 3 times to make sure I read the email right. I was not even going to apply 'cause I thought I did not stand a chance. Just got rejected from Mac so was feeling pretty down. Now I have another chance to do a 3 year degree. Thank god for the 10 year rule.
