I'm finally feeling like that after watching some videos on Youtube about the interview and talking to my professor (who is a former JET) about it.

I hope we all do alright, guys. :/ I feel like I'm juggling a thousand things right now just to get to the interview itself and I wish I had more time for freaking out over possible questions.

For me, the wait just means several things I have to get done in two week's time. I have to get my one and only suit taken in because it doesn't fit after losing 60 pounds. Sometimes I wonder if it might just be easier to buy a new one.

I'm also doing a ton of JET reading and studying. I want to be on top of every question that is asked, and never have that "deer in the headlights" face. There's a ton to do and a ton that can go wrong, but I'm oddly relaxed about it. That is, I'm oddly relaxed about it all except for the fifty some odd times a day when I squeal with joy in my head when I think about the fact that I have an interview!

Getting a new suite that is true to your size would probably look better than getting one altered after a significant drop in weight. Considerate an investment.

Department stores also have suits on sale all the time. I got a $150 suit for $30 after an insane mark down.

Just thought I'd let the other Washington DC interviewees know that the interview e-mail has gone out : )

Just freaked a bit because I got a call from LA asking if I got my email about the interview. They didn't get my response! I'm glad they made follow-up calls about it, I would have had no idea they didn't know I wanted the interview, because they're sending schedules on the 10th. Jesus!

So they can try to accommodate you if they can?

I guess I am just confused what the difference is if some of them are at the same time with the sole difference being the different people. I am probably making too big a deal about it
