Good news! or... a Positive one at least!!

It feels like forever since the last time I blogged. Since then, I had my life's first ever pharmacy interview, and got a very good score on my biochem class. Not so good on my bio statistics class, not because of the fact that I didn't study for it, but because I made some real stupid mistakes like misreading the questions and so on... But whatever. I can make up for it later. So how did my interview go? I thought it wasn't too bad, but not super good either. But from my experience with violin performances, if I didn't do so bad, it probably ment that it went well. Anyways, I don't want to go into too much detail here, but there was one thing that I thought I've made mistake; the interviewer had his business card ready in front of the the table where I sat, and which I decided not to put it in my bag at that time because I was afraid I might not be able to pay attention to what he was talking about (he did talk quite a lot so....). And I also read that not looking at the interviewer or having unnecessary distracting movements is not a good thing to do, so I tried to make myself to remember to take the business card before I say goodbye to him, which of course, I completely forgot about by the end of the interview. I think I was in one of those "nervous" states, where I am talking or doing things that I'm supposed to do, but not in any controlled, organized manner. It works for violin, since you practice so that at the performance you can do what you've been practicing. But for an interview where there's no real "practice" for it, that automatic response doesn't work very well. Anyways while in that hazy state, I forgot about the business card and walked out of the room. Few pharmacy students outside asked me how the interview went, and when I was about to talk to one of them suddenly the door opened, the interviewer walked out, and handed out the business card to me saying "you forgot this". I was literally screaming $%^#*@!! inside my head when I saw him... I said something like "oh, thank you, um, yeah I forgot.. ha...ha..." and he walked back into the interviewing room, making me feel like the biggest idiot in the universe. I've been (and still am) afriad that my stupidity might have affected my interview "grade", so I visited his website on his business card and tried to write on his guestbook, just to prove that I did not purposely left the business card on the table because I didn't wanted it or something. And when the guestbook on his website didn't work for some reason, I decided to email him instead. Hey, whatever works to get the point across, eh? I wasn't really expecting him to email me back at all, but today I got an reply! He said that while he is not able to tell me what my exact grade was, but he said that mine was his favorite among the four other contestants that he interviewd that day. My mouth literally fell off when I read it... but I think it's too early to celebrate yet, right? I still need to wait at least two more weeks to really know whether I'm in or not.

And speaking of waiting for something, my visa still hasn't come yet! AAAAAAAAh! Frustrating! Especially since my drivers license expired! Now my parent have to drive me to places, it's like being in highschool all over again... I never realized how inconvenient it is to not being able to drive. Damn it. For that one to come I need to wait till at least spring break for me to be able to go yell at the immigrations office. Arg. Other than those, I think my life is in pretty all right state, which is all I can ask for...
