Wow,

I've just come from speaking with Grayson who informed me a short while ago, and I'm still trying to digest everything and am obviously still pinching myself a ton.

This is super exciting! I know there must have been a ton of worthy people to choose from, so I'm really humbled to have been the luckbox that actually got chosen.

I know I haven't won an Oscar or anything here (although f*ck Oscars, I'd rather have this any day!), but I do want to really thank everybody who supported me in here, and I'd like to extend an especially huge thank you to Suzzer for pointing me in the direction of this thread in the first place, as it's entirely likely that had he not done, I wouldn't have seen this or acted on it in time.

Wow, all of a sudden I have so much to think about! Believe it or not I've never flown before, so trying to organise a 17 hour flight from the UK is going to be a new experience for me Time to order that passport!

I'll be keeping some sort of journal/blog of the experience, and when it gets closer to the time I'll add links and stuff in here for reference, but for now I have to excuse myself so I can go and start to let all this sink in!

Cheers guys!!

Your english too. FFS!!! I was expecting to lose out to a yank but not a fellow brit.

BTW I spoke to your doctor. You can't fly or else you will die. I will help you out and take your spot free of charge.

I must say I don't even know Gazillion, but will all the praise he's been getting from fellow STTer's I'm glad he won good job bud! I know he never berates me when I make noob posts in STT which is hard to come by these days, anyways gl! Also hook up your stars sn so I can see before/after results, also trip report is a must.

I couldn't be happier Gazillion. Honestly, if Grayson asked me to choose between you and myself I would select you without hesitiation.

You are a great contributor to the STTF, very generous, hard working and a very pleasant young man. You are the most deserved applicant.

I can't help but think karma played a small role although you could have easily won it without your unselfish act to help me during a pretty trying time.

Grayson, I'd like to personally thank you for giving back to this community as well. This is the second nicest gesture I've seen during the 5 years I've been here.

Guys, thanks so much for all the kind words - it really means a lot.

I'd also like to really thank Grayson for being so generous to put this offer forward - I have to say the timing couldn't have been better!

Kev, I you for calling me a "young man"!! I'm pretty sure I'm older than you dude

but i agree it takes away that nice feeling he spread by doing something good for free.illusion bubble just burst.

so the 3 additional students will be selected from people who sent stars that supporting mail.and exclusively from them.this is what his answer mail said.

i refuse to send this because i feel its not fair against competitors for the pro spot.he will have a lot of supporting mails which other people have no chance of gaining.

and the prize is a spot in a lottery, wow thank you sir so much, may i do the cooking and cleaning up in costa rica too?

i feel like you should really stop this gravy and take your huge merits and your good name only into that competition for the pro spot.this feels like half blackmailing to me.

i really think you have a good chance, your results speak for emselves, this puts a big shade on it though my friend.
You're an idiot.
