An Offer He Can't Refuse

QTAC offers were supposed to come out last Thursday. Their head office is on Park Road at Milton and was affected by the floods. There was some uncertainty as to when the offers would be released - we thought they were being delayed by a week until things returned to normal but the girls going to USQ still found out Thursday via an email from USQ.

On Saturday afternoon, while we were sitting around feeling tired and washed out, Drew walked out from the lounge room and casually announced, "I got in - I got an offer - in International Studies" - and here's the transcript to prove it. UQ sent out brief details in an email on Friday night but of course, at that time, we were otherwise occupied trying to keep 50 teenagers under some sort of control (and failing I might add). I was really pleased for him; it was the goal he set for himself and he achieved it. He will now defer it to 2012; at least there's something set up to come back to.
