Well, the SPH interview was loads better than I expected. Although I wish they had not asked me, while staring beadily, about PW and group dynamics, people we interviewed, etc. I did not say, "No one would take IPW seriously if it wasn't an examination subject." I did not say, "Please tell me how this is relevant." I did, however, throw in semi-criticisms of the New Paper - I don't know what got into me to forget that TNP is under SPH.
I've completed 3 out of 5 university applications but am 'plumb tuckered out' in terms of essays, I'm sick of trying to sound smart and enthusiastic.
There are so many things to quietly appreciate in this somewhat limbo season - listening to The Thrills and Joni Mitchell, preparing for prom, and catching gems on HBO (highly recommend About Schmidt and Sense and Sensibility; you may have seen the awesome Emma Thompson & Alan Rickman combo in Love Actually, they still are).
I think if you know what you want, you get it. But most of the time, people don't know. Who can blame them?
