Interview

Seems a bit pointless to have attended an interview when I'm not even sure I'll accept Med if I get in ... if I get offered the course I want in Canberra, then I'll most likely head there. But if not, then it's Med all the way.

Of course if certain ppl convince me anyway to stay here in Perth, then all this is irrelevant.

The UNSW interview seems like the ideal place to have had a first interview, now that I look back on it ... if I'd accepted it then I wouldn't have had no clue what the UWA interview would be like. Not that it was freakishly hard or anything, or that I fainted on the spot, but there seemed to be a lot of pregnant pauses where I should have been talking. Trouble was, my vocabulary may have made my answers seem rote-learnt (which of course they weren't) and interviewers hate nothing more than rote-learnt answers.

Not much use dwelling on the interview now though - all I can do is wait. Good luck to all those who did the interview too, I have no doubt that some or most of you (you know who you are) will get in. For the rest of you, just think of what Matt Damon says to anyone who asks him whether they should be an actor: 'No.' Damon's thinking is that if the person takes 'no' for an answer, they don't deserve to be an actor. Same for Med: if you don't get accepted by one uni, but you definitely want to do Med, then you'll try other unis or try again next year.

I never realised how much I'd actually miss school, but with literally nothing to do, throwing myself off the balcony just for some light relief from the boredom seems an interesting idea (rather than a suicidal idea). On the plus side, by Friday I won't be in Perth for two weeks so I won't have to be here when the TEE results come out!
