My heart was still thumping from 2 nightmares last night- 2 in one night, I don't normally have them. The nerves rushed around my veins, making my body feel weak. I couldn't do this. How was I possibly supposed to face this interview like this.
Driving to Winsford was even more torturing. Every time we went over a bump it felt like and extra nerve hit me. It was making me feel physically sick.
Before the interview I had an extra long wait, so we went shopping in town. It stopped the nervous feeling for a bit, until I stepped foot in the car. The nerves hit me like a ton of bricks crashing down on me. Me and my dad parked up at the fire station, hoping we had got the right entrance. Walking up to a door saying 'automatic' my dad thought it would open. 'It won't open cause of security' next minute I knew my dads looking in the window round the side and the door opened for me. 'Must have seen my uniform, so it likes me'. Was strange that it opened. Great security.
We stood around the reception a while, before deciding to go through some double doors, in which I saw 2 other cadets and a leader. 'Hey!' Shouted one of the girls sat on a chair. My dad left me to it, so I awkwardly and rather nervously sat there.
'How did you get in the door?' The cadet leader curiously asked. Knowing you couldn't get in unless someone opened it inside. 'No idea, the door just opened for me must like me you see'. Have to say glad he saw the humour of it, cause the two girls just have me funny looks. 'Ah right, let me see I there ready for you' he mentioned. I sat there waiting. 'Ok, they are ready for you'. It was time, oh god.. 'Hi Jess, I'm vikki, the interview is not formal although it may look it. Feel free to blab on, and we can always stop you. We would rather you spoke than not say anything at all'. Well that was a big introduction for my little answer 'ok, that's fine'
The nerves were rushing round my body.. My legs were shaking and my hands were getting all sweaty. Luckily they did not notice those things as my legs were under the table&my hand were facing me on the table. They started off by asking 3 questions each, then if I had any questions.
I just hope that I said enough to pass and get through into Nepal, would actually be a dream come true. I also hope Lois gets it- I certain ally can't get it on my own. I won't cope, of course I will be disappointed if Lois does get in and I don't, but rather that than the other way round. Even better us both get a place would be nice.
I got out of the interview with a sigh of relief, thank god it's over. Now I have to wait until the 12th to be told I I have or haven't got in. This week or two is going to be torture!
I hope I get a good phone call and not a bad one. I know myself I can offer a lot, but did I do enough to show that in the interview. I hope so!
Good luck Lois! Hope you get in more than me, cause of your confidence :)
