Time out of mind..

Updated:
A very big 'THANK YOU' to all my blog buddies!
I couldn't have made it without all your good wishes and pep talk!
The interview went very well - no unpleasant surprises!
I think I just might make it to grad school after all!

Goodness!
My head is reeling and I`m feeling faint!
I have been studying for the past 6 hours!
And I have managed to cover pretty much everything under the sun.
(Now you know why I havent visited my favorite blogs in ages now!)
People, trust me, I have worked harder than anyone ever has for an interview.I decided that it is better to be over prepared than have surprises sprung on me(which incidentally,they probably will anyway!). But nonetheless, I think I have worked pretty hard. And in spite of this, if I screw up or don't make it for whatever %#&$&^&*^ reason, then it`s just too bad..
I will simply end up as a waitress in a coffee shop, write stories and play my guitar on rainy Saturday afternoons(which I long to do anyway).
This is the last post before the interview, which is on Monday.
I will spend this Friday evening studying. Tomorrow I will rehearse my answers in front of the mirror and then spend the evening at a salon! Sunday,I will eat out my brain and then The G`s..
And all this for a grad school admissions interview!

(If I sound neurotic, that`s because I`ve probably lost it. I mean literally!)

So wish me luck People. This means more to me than you could ever, ever imagine..

"People on the platforms, waitin' for the trains..
I can hear their hearts a-beatin', Like pendulums swinging on chains.
When you think that you've lost everything,
You find out you can always lose a little more..
I'm just goin' down the road feeling bad,
Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door
.."

Best wishes Piper!!

The best thing about being well prepared is the confidence it does give you. And what's more important than confidence in an interview?

Hi,

I'd say don't worry, but I've found worrying about an important exam/interview and being over prepared does helps me focus.....so Im going to wish you all the best and hope that all the work pays off!

hugs

Hi Good Luck..

Itis just the thinking...a person who has covered say 60% portion and goes to the exam thinking that what i know only will be asked , will perform better than the person who has covered 90% of portion and goes to the exam fearing whether questions will be asked from the portion he has missed...hmm


since u have worked well, go with confidence...
