The interview went just fine. Although I was literally shaking in the waiting room, once the interview began (8 American education experts vs me) I had little trouble expressing my ideas and goals to the "jury". I even went into "verbose" mode, as I always go when I talk about my job.
Hee... if my life were a movie, I'm pretty sure the interview would be like one of those "inspirational scenes" in which the main character delivers a moving monologue, complete with "emotional" background music and lots of close ups to the audience's faces as my words change everything they knew about the Special Education field. :P
Nah...
It went well and I was able to express myself with little trouble. Of course, my pronunciation was a perfect imitation of "Speedy Gonzalez" (I also talk waaaay too fast, even in Spanish), but the board seemed to understand me just fine. They smiled all the time and in general their attitude made me feel confident about my interview. I feel pretty happy right now ^^.
Well, what's done is done, so I have to wait until August 11th (my birthday!) to get the results. Hee... I really hope that for my 29th birthday I'll get the scholarship as a present. But if that's not possible, at least I'm glad I gave this process a try.
Thank you so much for your good vibes, everyone ^^!
So... last night I didn't sleep, of course. I tried to stay in bed as long as possible, but in the end I got up at 4:30 AM. And what better way to occupy a stressed mind than doing silly shit with the Sims?
As I said in my last entry, I want to switch back to a cartoony look for my sims. I downloaded the Phasmaxis skintones, only to realize that the men looked a bit girly, as if they had eyeshadow. Compared to the Rensim skintones I had, this is a minor pet-peeve, but I still got curious about the different degrees of "girlishness" in the many "cartoony" sets around the net. So, I fired up my experimental neighborhood (the merged Maxis Hood from MTS2) and with the help of the uber-awesome Christianlov's skin selector and sim cloner, I did a little experiment with the help of some very well known Maxis sims.
( Mirror mirror on the wall, which's the 'girliest' skin of all? )
