Yay!

So I totally had the best scholarship Interview ever!!! Backing Up to explain. today was scholarship auditions for The Theatre Department. I have been working on compiling pictures for My portfolio since as a technician I have an interview where I present my work rather than a monologue. I had done a mock interview with my advisor and the result was shaky at best (Incidentally she is also on the scholarship committee). She felt I didn't show very much confidence in my work (I used the word "just" a lot) and that my presentation was incomplete ( I had only included shows I had worked on and did not touch on any of my class work). I took her criticisms to heart and set to work fixing my presentation.

This morning I woke up early to take Marcus to work and then I got myself ready. I wore some professional clothing that I had picked out the week before (Chocolate brown, Dark Tan, and Sage green, my personal power colors). I also did my make up using the new techniques my advisor had shown me when I'd asked for help (Make up has never been my strong point). I made note cards for my presentation (though I didn't end up needing them) and then I headed for my interview (I was the first one on the list). I smiled and spoke as clearly as I could and described every project I had in brief detail. then I asked for any questions they might have of me, and I had an answer for everyone of their questions! I felt awsome afterwords. the coolest part was, I was walking around the building afterwards and and I ran into all but 2 of the panel I had interviewed for, and all of them congragulated me on how well put together my interview was (YES!). I really hope I get a scholarship, my advisor said she was so proud of me and that she was glad I had listened to what she had said. I'm so Exited!!!
