So on Friday in amongst the business I got a letter from McMaster.
I got out of the shower and Methos my roommate said that the letter was here. My heart stopped. Methos was nervous. Foreman was nervous. I was nervous. Then I saw the envelope - a brown, legal-sized envelope. I then thought to myself that it must be an interview package because a rejection letter wouldn't be that big. Unless it was framed or something and who would be cruel enough to frame a rejection letter (strange thoughts happen when you're nervous). Anyway, I opened it up and there it was...
McMaster University asking me to please come for an interview on April 3rd to our undergraduate medical degree programme.
The boys were really excited and I was literally bouncing up and down (good thing I changed out of the towel before opening the letter).
After the excitement I'm finding this stage in the process really strange. I just kept saying "Well we'll see if I get an interview" and now that I have one I feel like "What if I fail now?" "How crappy is that going to be?" "How the hell am I going to prepare for this?", and other kinds of questions run through my brain. I think it's just a question of putting one foot in front of the other. I do feel proud though that I've gotten this far and that I'm fulfilling the promise I made to Catherine and the promise I made to my 10 year old self.
