MAGDALO Interview

Last Thursday, I got the news from my classmates that I passed the MAGDALO examination. I was at the library then and I was reviewing (and teaching RJ and Lanekar) the assignment that my Computer lecture teacher told us to do . Funny, I didn't find them believable at first; usually at times like that, I'm bound to be heaping jolly already. As I was saying, they said that I passed the exam and I even garnered 108.8, taking the place of #12 in the rankings. After that, I entered the MAGDALO's office and checked it myself. Guess what? It was true. But, it was no time to be celebrating yet. I have yet to face the interview which was by the way, conducted TODAY.

Hey~! What can a freshman of little experience do? PANIC, of course. I wasn't at all prepared when they said that the interview would be today. Self-esteem wasn't on my side either. Yesterday, my grandmother received a phone call from school, saying that an interview will be conducted the next day and attendance of 'her granddaughter' is a must. They said that it would be conducted at exactly 8:00 am but when I got to there office, they said that it would be 2:00 pm. So, I just went to the venue of the interview directly. Boy, was it creepy! It felt like the lights would suddenly go off and some unknown creature would appear in front of my face. I couldn't take the aura. It was way too quiet for me, so, I went down the canteen along with my friend, Angel.

I went back about five minutes before 2 and I was glad that I did. I happen to meet a friend. Encar is her name. Seems pretty cute, don't you think? Anyway, I was the 3rd one to be interviewed. They asked me personal questions, like what was my graduating grade, my previous school, the history of my surname and my confidence in my abilities. On those parts, I'm quite sure that I happen to give out decent and polite answers ( of course, those are my ideas itself). But, I'm not so sure when they asked me about my view of the country's system of government. It seems that the question itself was easy but scooping a good answer was a little low. I answered as naturally and as bold as I can. All in all, I think it went fine. I don't expect to be chosen but if ever I were, I'll give it my best shot. They won't regret picking me. That, I'm sure about.
