Dear all,
had a fantastic day today, seems I got lucky for a change...long story but bear with me lol!
Last firday at 4.50pm i got a call offering me an interview at durham uni to train to be a german teacher. Anway this morning at 11 i went to this interview.I was in a suit, sweating so bad walking up a hill in the blazing sun.When i got there i was dripping in sweat i was sdared, worried and embarrassed all at once lol!
I had my interview with a lady, lynn powell, when i got there i sat down and cooled off for 5 minutes before she got there thank God!When she came she took me upstairs lol and apologised cos it was such short notice and then she said, 'but at least you didn't have any time to panic about it' LOL (well sort of!)
When we got to the room there was another lady there, im 24 and im being interviewed by 2 middle age women! oh dear...
it all started fine, in english, then they started speaking german so suddenly!ahhh!but i coped!
Then they asked me to speak french!i was a little shocked but i did my best.. but very badly...
After an hour the interview was over...as i left they gave me a test...in german...ok....
AND IN FRENCH!
i was a little surprised but I said i'd try...
I was taken to the library to do my tests and left there. One german essay 400 words...fine. and a french essay, 300 words...oh dear...
After half an hour, when i was finishing the german that i could do! the interviewer came back..
She said she had just emailed me and offered me a place for the teacher training course to teach german and french!!!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
IF you live in the North East, be scared, I might teach your children lol!
BUT
IT GETS BETTER!!!! REALLY!
I rang my tutor to thank him for the reference he wrote for me, it obviously helped their decision to accept me! He told me he got my dissertation back from the external marker...i passed my MA, only 6 months late or so cos of anxiety and panic but i did it, I PASSED!
Wow what a day.
love to you all,
you can achieve anything
