I had an interview today, the first few hours went really well, then there was a final formal interview which was, without a doubt, the most stressful experience of my life. At times it felt like I was giving the right answers and they were happy, then other times it felt like I was literally interviewing for my life -- like I'd say the wrong thing and they'd just put a big red X on a piece of paper and take me out back like Old Yeller. The thing is: all my plans continue on regardless of the outcome of this, it'd be a lost opportunity and is something I want to do -- but failing this stage would really not be the end of the world. I wasn't even that nervous at my proper interview to get on my course. Hell, visiting courtrooms and holding a mock court for my degree was less stressful than this interview.
Oh goodness me no, I don't have any detailed plans! I just have a mental list of "Must happen" "Should happen" and "Nice to happen" for the next 1, 5, 10 and 20 years. There's a lot on the last list, but increasingly gaining items in the first two which is always exciting!
