I was an awful lot more nervous than I expected for my interview, which happened last week. It has been a while since I felt like that. Up early, wrangling with using slide or not (I didn’t).

My biggest source of anxiety was simply not feeling academic enough. I guess that’s something that I’ll need to deal with if I’m recommended to join the programme, but agh! It feels so uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I feel loved, by this little one and other significant VIPs. What does it really matter if I haven’t got long, convoluted words available at the tip of my tongue?

I don’t know yet if the interview was successful, but I had a good feeling about it – so here’s hoping!
