That psychological interview was longer than I could have possibly imagined it would be. The questions just kept on coming and coming without a break. I can't even begin to analyze if I did well or poorly because after six hours of questions all of the questions and answers began to melt into my brain.
Still, tomorrow I am set to participate in the lock-in drill with the rest of the team so I could not have messed up the interview too badly. This test will analyze how we are able to coexist in a confined space and perform basic tasks as a unit. We will be locked in a room that is meant to simulate what it would be like to be confined in a spaceship, minus the lack of gravity, for the next seven days.
The toughest part about the lock-in is that we will not have access to any personal belongings or the ability to communicate with anyone from the outside world during the duration of the test. I think that will be the hardest part for me.
I made sure to inform Dad and Diego about the test so that they would not be worried. In this case I think the one week was upsetting me more than it was upsetting them. What did I have to complain about though? When I went into cryogenic sleep, I would be going quiet for six years.
