Just got an invitation for an interview for the three to six-year university position for which I made my Ph.D. proposal thingie in the last few weeks.
WHAT DO I DO NOW????
(Also, wtf am I doing right, now, that I apparently did wrong the 1.5 years before?)
*boggles*
*frets*
ARRRGH!

Date: 2011-01-28 03:38 pm (UTC)BTW, I just spent a night without sleep because suddenly the mere *possibility* of having to teach, soon, terrified me completely. I'm sure I'd learn, but... *shudder*
And...
Date: 2011-01-28 03:43 pm (UTC)Tonight, before I go to bed, I'll have to medidate on the thought that, really, it *isn't* that likely they'll actually offer me the job, to calm myself down. ;-)

I always told that to myself, both in order to calm myself down, and to avoid being too disappointed. Apart from the horrible interview I told you about, I also had two in which it was really close, and I keep telling me myself that should be reason enough for me not to give up hope.;)

Oh, you'll learn that quite quickly. After all, teaching students at uni can't really be compared to school teaching.;)
