I mean, just take a look at my track record. I have interviewed for 3 LR positions in AIESEC (VPOGX, NST for ER and VPComm) and failed miserably each time. Once bitten, twice shy, thrice D'oh! And each time I have been told to try again. Well, not anymore.
Anyways, the reason I will not try again anymore is not because of the said interview-phobia, but rather my plans to continue my studies elsewhere. Then again, I digress.
So imagine my surprise when I received not one, but two emails requesting for me to attend interviews on the telephone. The first one was from NUS, and the other from HKU. This is because I have submitted applications to these universities to pursue my post-graduate studies in English Literature.
Once again, interviews are scary. In the middle of my NUS interview, I actually ran out of saliva and my entire mouth went super dry which made it extremely hard to speak.
Anyways. I really hope to gain admissions to at least one good university (along with a studentship) because I wouldn't be able to study my Masters anyway else.
On a side note, I have finished reading John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. It was quite a depressing read, especially the part where the farmers actually destroyed their crops because they would rather nobody got them than people getting them for free, because most of the people were too poor to pay for the crops anyways.
As I read that chapter, I have this nagging feeling that such a thing is still happening today. However, there is no way to prove that.
I will be going to Johor and then Singapore for a long trip from 11 to 23 December. Gonna imagine myself being in a solo leg of The Amazing Race. :P
