Well I made it there and back in one piece! While the rest of the country ground (or perhaps skidded) to a halt, I drove for nearly 11 hours in total, to get to my interview on the other side of the country. To be fair, I was pretty lucky with the weather – although it was snowy, the motorways were probably clearer than they would have been, because people had already taken the day off work. Although the main motorway I was on is today impassable due to the conditions. So I was fairly lucky in that respect. I stayed overnight with the parents of a friend, who were completely lovely and hospitable, and fed me a lot. This always pleases me.
As for the interview itself, it was difficult to tell how it went but I was happy that I’d given it my best shot. I’m not going to talk in detail on the individual parts of the interview – apart from the fact that it is generally frowned upon, it’s not fair on people in the same position as me. But suffice it to say, I tried my best and it is a good experience for the next one as well (which is now only a few days away). There were a couple of moments where I confused myself, or was at a loss at what to say, but I feel that in the end I gave a decent attempt at everything. And there were some ethical issues that came up that I was really happy to be asked about, as I’d been discussing the pro’s and con’s of them with a vet and a vet student last week! So all in all, difficult to tell, but I can go away content that I tried my best.
On a completely unrelated note (if you’ll excuse the pun), we started Verdi’s Requiem at the choir I go to last night – fun times!
