So, remember how I had a date for differentiation - Wednesday next week? Well, I got a letter just yesterday to tell me the time and what I'm supposed to provide.
The first thing I thought reading it was: "What 3000-word application?!?!?"
The second thing was, "And this 3000-word application, which I am only learning about now, has to be in by tomorrow?!?!?!?!?"
The third thing was, "Ummm, there is absolutely no mention here of submitting a sample chapter."
And the fourth thing was, "The interview panel will be sitting for 15 minutes before I am allowed in?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" At which point, I collapsed under the weight of question and exclamation marks.
Nervous much? No, just plain TERRIFIED.
Damnit, Philip, why didn't you remember to ask for yesterday off at work??? I would have got this letter on Monday, but instead I was at home acting as chauffeur and didn't get it until yesterday evening, when I had no computer access! AHHHHH!!!
