Surrey Interview

I had my interview at Surrey today! What a sham!!!!!

Was up till about 2am trying to prepare and find all my relevent documents. Was then up at 6am getting ready.

My boyfriend took the morning off of work to come and give me moral support... and we left about 7am

Got to the uni about 8am, and that was with traffic as well! Got into the right building about 8.15 and there were already a few people there.

Met a couple of people that I had spoken to online, who were really nice and made me feel more relaxed about the day otherwise I would have probably been sat there in silence!

At 9 they gave us a quick talk about the day, followed by a maths and english exam. They were ok not too bad.

We were then given a presentation about the university and then called to the interviews.

There were 15 of us and most of us were talking while waiting to go in, and found out a couple of people live really close to me!

The interview was actually horrible. The worst part is that it was really simple questions they asked me... yet I still felt all panicky and tongue tied! I wasn't even nervous before the interview but as soon as I was sat in front of them I fell to pieces. Then when I tried to speak I could hear my voice shaking which made me feel even more nervous. A couple of times I nearly started tearing up as I just felt it was so hopeless. I must have been in there about 10 minutes but it felt like an hour.

They asked me about 4 questions and sat there staring at me when I answered. A couple of things I said they were like 'oh... really?' with a confused look like they either didn't believe or understand what i was saying. Also when I answered they were like 'yes... and?' and sort of acted like i hadn't actually answered the question properly. I also noticed them looking at my big baby bump and at one point I said something like 'yeh well I had my son last year' and they all looked down at my bump and back up at me like I was some sort of nymphomaniac.

After I answered about 4 or 5 questions they said something along the lines of 'let's finish it here shall we' or something and were quite negetive.

Also others were told today they did well in the maths and english exam but they didn't mention it to me so I'm guessing I didn't do great.

All in all looks like I'm not going to be going to Surrey next year! :(
