Now, For the Studying, Rehearsing, Preparing

Today will mark my first participation in a study group in a long time. I'm nervous. Very. I feel less prepared, more green, than I felt when I began last year.

This morning, I took a look at my list of stories for the Structured Interview questions and felt as though they were the autobiographical material of a stranger -- a not very interesting stranger at that.

There was this incredible disconnect. It was really odd, as though part of my brain wasn't functioning.

Maybe it was because it was 5:30 in the morning. I guess I feel disconnected to a lot of things at that time of morning.

thanks for visiting/commenting on my blog..
how did your study group go? I really enjoyed that part of the process, though it did take up a lot of time away from my family.
hint for the SI- they use behavioral interviewing techniques. Google that and you will be able to formulate better questions than the ones on the yahoo group. I found that was the one area where I could've prepared better. good luck!

Haha how about every time I even attempt to try and learn something for the OA, I think of this post and say to myself "And now, for the studying, rehearsing, preparing..." and sigh. Hope it's going well!
