Ok, so my application for Cambridge University was rejected a couple of days ago. Well, actually, that's not strictly true, but I wasn't on the initial acceptance list, and so my chances of getting in have declined steeply, and essentially, I felt rejected.

So, naturally, I sulked all day. Then, I threw my iPod out of temper, and it landed in a thorn bush, so i had to spend 30 minutes crawling through extremely dense thorn bushes, and then a further ten minutes extracting a thorny twig from ym hair, where it had become tangled. which made my mood complete.

Basically, I don't handle rejection well. So. How do you handle rejection? When did you last get rejected from something you really wanted?

It depends on the rejection. I'm used to not getting certain parts and stuff, it's hard not to be. But when it becomes personal (like not being allowed to dance in an audition because she didn't like how I looked) then I get upset. Not there though, always at home.
