The past two days have been incredibly hectic so excuse the delay on day 19. I feel like I actually did quite well considering it was midterms week.
Day 19 was the day of my rescheduled interview. The owner of the company asked me a few questions and then he got to this one. "Why do you want an internship?" Well the biggest reason is of course to graduate. I have to have two, 195 hour, internships to complete the BFA at Harding. And then I don't know where or why this came out of my mouth but I said, "Well, I'm about to graduate and I don't feel like I'm prepared." WHAT?! Why did I just say that?! You never tell someone you don't feel qualified or prepared!!! I tried to save myself by continuing on. After I finally caught my breath he looked at me and said, "There was something I really liked that you said." I didn't know what it could be. I thought I had just ruined that interview. "I really liked that you said you didn't feel prepared. So many graduates come out thinking they know the latest and greatest. What they don't know is that for the first year they're going to be the ones holding everyone back and the ones messing up. It's good that you realize that now." Wait so I didn't just ruin everything? I actually got myself a follow up interview with them? Yes, yes I did. I'm now staying in Tulsa until Tuesday because I'm going in to the office that day. Hehe! Thank you Father, for fixing the stupid things that came out of my mouth, or maybe thank you for putting them there yourself. Who knows, but it happened and I'm thankful it did.
Day 20. One of my teachers decided to put the entire study guide on moodle. Well, actually most of my teachers did that, but this certain teacher forgot to open up the sections so we could actually look at them. See in moodle, our campus wide assignment/grade/test/quiz center, teachers can go in and add material so the entire class can have access to it. Well, most teachers add the entire semester's material but don't want us to be able to see all of it so they hide certain sections. If a teacher doesn't make it public, students can't see it. That's exactly what happened. I had nothing to study, I was freaking out. That might be a bit of an exaggeration. I really wasn't worried because I honestly don't like the class, but I knew I had to get a good grade to pass. 12:00 rolled around and the test was passed out. Question #1; knew it. Question #2; knew it... Question #50; knew it. How is that possible? I can barely pay attention in that class. It's something I've never learned before either so I can't rely on other classes to have some sort of knowledge. Somehow I knew that material and I just got the grade back a few minutes ago. High B. I'll take that for not studying at all. Shoot, for this class I'd take that if I had studied. Thank you Father!
