A Job Interview

I have a job interview on Thursday at 2:30. Or wait… is it 2:15. When I meet with the interviewer his voice and manner reminds me of someone, reminds me of some character in a movie, or perhaps it’s just a character in my life. This thought distracts me for nearly half the interview.

“I must focus on this interview, I really need this job… Get this out of your head.” I keep telling myself.

Eventually I do and he continues to discuss the duties I would have, the responsibilities of each position and where everything is located. It’s so much to comprehend in such little time.

Digressing on that topic, this reminds me of every “first.” The first day of class, “you have a paper due this day, and this day, exams on these days, here’s my e-mail, my mailbox number. No late work is accepted.”

By the end of the first day of class, it’s like “alright, so I’m still in break mode, I already have 5 papers due?”

In reality, the work always seems a lot heavier a workload than in reality. Similar to the past post. When you break down a week as one single object and focus on everything that’s due, it seems like you only have an hour to write a 10-page paper. At the beginning of the semester or at a job interview, it seems like the world just collapsed and your too worried about trying to fight your way out than actually understand everything being said.
