I have just realized that I sound kind of snooty sometimes when I point out that I have known about and wanted to be a part of JET since I was 11... That makes me sound like a jerk or like I'm judging people who have known about it for less time. I 100% am not and I don't mean to sound that way.
Whenever I bring up my excessive time of longing, I am either pointing out that I am crazy, emphasizing how much I want it, showing that a long time is not always a benefit, or something else of that ilk. I honestly don't think it really matters if I've known for 13 years and you've known for 2 days. It just doesn't. Well, it does if you aren't passionate about it; I would definitely be irritated if it was [i]just[/i] a job to an applicant. But that isn't about time, that's about personal motivation.
That being said, I am really excited for everyone getting in. I sometimes feel like I [i]should be[/i] bitter, but I'm not. Me not getting in is related to my performance and shouldn't take away from anyone else's joy in his/her success.
Lastly: CONGRATS!!! To any and all JET participants as they currently wait and wait and wait for their time to finally come in a couple months ^_^
For the rest of us: GAMBATTE!
