Into the final furlong.
Today I had an interview, the sole purpose of which was to judge the compatibility of my character. Quite a stressful situation. I’ve been quite a nervous and shy person for a good deal of my life but these days I can handle myself pretty well. I may even say that to an extent I’m now a pretty confident person. But it was all too much. I got genuinely nervous, couldn’t look them in the eye, it was terrible.
Fortunately I got offered another place straight away, but I will find out tomorrow where I am living.
