i'm sick! :( on the day of my interview i went home after lunch and was feeling so groggy and sleepy that the minute i got home, i took my contacts out, washed my face and changed into some old shirt and shorts and went to sleep. when i got up, my nose was stuck and my eyes felt so watery. it felt as though my head was dunked in water. :(
as for my interview, i think it went quite well! :) this is like the first time i've been for an interview and i felt confident.. sort of.. and came out feeling happy. there were no oh-my-goodness-i-can't-believe-i-just-said-that answers. there were some really bizarre questions though. the interviewers showed me a periodic table and told me to describe what i saw in the picture. basically, it was to explain the table in layman terms and i was like ?!?!?!?!?! i did stumble a few times during the interview, but i hope i came across as a fluent english speaker. goodness.. if i didn't, then i don't think i'd be fluent in any language. hm. chinese? HAH. good one. the panel was made up of very very pleasant people! :) it was nice talking to them and they made me feel very comfortable, in the sense that they were smiley people and they said that it was not meant to be a formal interview. they asked a lot of experience questions, like have you worked in a hospital before, have you ever been in a group situation where people were not cooperating, do you think in a group of doctors, they are more likely to follow a leader or work as a team and stuff along those lines. :) so yup i think it went pretty well!
eunice got home from australia yesterday morning! :) so funny. i thought that since mom and dad were back from china, i wouldn't have to set my alarm in the morning. i mean, how can the *beep beep* compare to "IRIS!!! IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP NOW, YOU"RE GOING TO BE SORRY!!" first thing in the morning. :) to my horror, i discovered that i woke up at 7 am. i tried to move as quickly as i could (which is not very quick) to the toilet, when eunice happily popped up next to me when i was brushing my teeth. and the first thing she said to me was not "i'm back!! nice to see you again!" (which would probably happen.. like never) but "you look like hell." how pleasant. :)
anyway, i'm at work with a horribly scratchy throat, watery eyes, a stuck nose.. bleh i think i'll leave early and go home and sleep. ahh.. sleep. :) i love my bed. alrighty, going to go catch some extra minutes of sleep before work starts.. God bless!
