    Will be a real shame if you don't.

    Thanks! Really stressed about it, most of the other colleges are full, 2nd choice is full (Edinburgh, thankfully since I changed my mind about them!) and my third choice (Middlesex) is still open but looks like they arent interviewing until April, don't think I could wait that long! Plus I havent applied to Middlesex yet, the GTTR system in England is strange, you can only apply for 2 places at a time, and the 2nd place doesnt get your application until the first place rejects you!

    I reckon you'll get it, loads of the other folks would have come across as disinterested and going through the motions compared to the presentation you did by the sounds of it, you'll be fine. The worry and anxiety etc won't do you any harm :)

    Worry and anxiety do me major harm! Doc is convinced Im going to give myself an ulcer, b/f has decided that some day hes going to call over and find various body parts all over my apartment as Im going to explode from the stress I carry. Last time I was so worried about something I ended up in the doctors with a spasm attack in my gall bladder, worst pain Ive ever experienced, and Ive an extremely high pain threshold! Trying to distract myself by researching journal articles, thankfully Ive a block of 3 hours of lectures at 1 to distract me for a while

    Socks, it sounds like you have a great chance of getting a place. Even if they didnt read your hard copies & the extra lesson plans you prepared, the fact that you put the effort in to prepare them will stand you in good stead.

    As you have said on here that you are passionate about teaching & that enthusiasm will always come out in interviews.

    A 50/50 chance is good odds.

    Fingers crossed for you.

    Thanks for all the kind words guys!

    Been pretty much keeping it to myself, like everyone knows I went for my interview but lied when the reults will be out to avoid the torture of people asking me again and again and again.

    :) HAPPY PANCAKE TUESDAY EVERYONE! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭NoDice


    Yay pancakes!! Just checked out the pancakes in the canteen and they look like biscuits so I can't wait to go home and make some!!

    What does everyone eat on theirs?? I was horrified to see my friend cover hers in sliced bananas and chocolate!!

    I'm a simple lemon and too much sugar lady. And I roll it up and pick it up all at once making a big sticky mess! :D

    They will have pancakes in my work canteen at lunch mmm!
    Always taste nicer when someone else makes them ha :pac: plus won't have time tonight to make them as I am going to the cinema with a certain someone...

    Chocolate or lemon and sugar does the job for me.

    I wish it was a date, nah it is just by stunner of a friend who I have had a crush on for ages but gave up on anything happening a long time ago! Still though spending time with her always brings a smile to my face :)

    Oh I wanted to see gamer, thought it was just about gaming though eek...:eek:

    Since August, try years lol. Yep Single...I guess it is nice alright at times, to have someone :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 563 ✭✭✭save_our_socks


    Don't know if I could deal with becoming single again, been with himself for 4 years now and was with someone for a year before that. Got with himself about 4 weeks after the previous relationship ended so didnt have much down time.

    I'd be at a loss at how to chat someone up, I'd have to take some classes!
