Our results were released on Thursday of last week. As they say, this was one of the most nerve-wracking phone calls I have ever had to make.
I was woken up at 1330hrs by the Headhunter via phone, as I lay in bad, quite hungover from the night before. He had received his results and was really chuffed. I informed him I had not gotten mine yet; his results were in the mid 90%, so this really mounted the pressure.
The feeling of butterflies began to grow, mixed with a feeling of hangover nausea and hunger made for a very unpleasant time. I made the call to the Academy, both phone numbers were engaged.
I decided shower and mentally settle myself , whilst waiting.
I made the call again, and it rang a few times. The secretary began to read my results; my heart was racing..
- "100%, 100%, 96%, 96%, 95%, 100% and 100%"
