I've only posted once before, but I just wanted to let you know that I was rooting for you, too! I found out this morning that I got an ETA to Thailand and I was really hoping that I would get to meet you over there! I'm so sorry that you weren't selected, but I'm inspired by your persistence and I'm sure that things will work out!
I'm sorry that I'm choosing such an inopportune time to come out of lurking, but I applied as an ETA to Thailand and I don't have any emails anywhere. So I'm going to say TROLLL, IN THE DUNGEON! (I hope.)
