Slack

Ok, time for confession. I have not booked my second interview! Is this really as bad as i think? I don't know! I won't know until i ring and book it, and even that i am trying to palm off to mum!

The Issue

Melissa gets a letter from her exchange company, saying, congratulations, you have been accepted! She sighs a great sigh of relief until, along comes a nasty looking letter that says:

"We would like to have a second interview with you to briefly retest your japanese skills, please book this asap for any date between Monday the 16th - Friday the 20th."

So Melissa, starts practicing for this, but doesn't ring them. Nervous, yes...
But, by being so nervous, she makes herself not only nervous, but paranoid because now she hasn't acted promptly like she usually does and is sitting here typing a blog on Sunday night, without having a phone interview date.

The Plan

Mel has decided that on Monday morning she is going to call them and just hope that they don't answer. If they do, she doesn't say anything about the fact that it is monday morning and simply says that she would like to book an interview date. If for some reason, Kim, the coordinator, is extremely upset at her, she will simply try and hold back the tears and apologise the best she can. If they don't answer, Mel goes to school and her mum will call them after 9am because 9am is office hours.

This is so stressful, you have no idea, the knot in my chest is getting so tight that i feel like crying. I really shouldn't worry about it but my gosh, this is so horrible. I am so sorry i left it so late, honestly, i am. I don't even know right now who i am apologising to because i have been so bad.

I need to stop this negative thinking. The good things are that, i have finished my independant reading journal and i am going back to school which will be nice and they have actually already sent you a 'congratulations' letter so, perhaps you are in after all? Who knows, all i know is that there should be a law against letting me think, i scare myself.
