Thursday, 16th April 2009 ~ This Day May Change My Life.


All set to go, beside one of the lovely gardens around Lucy Cavendish College.
My first 30 minute interview was with the Admissions' Tutor and a colleague to determine my suitability for admission to Cambridge, what I could bring to the course and generally about me.
The second 30 minute interview was with my prospective Director of Studies and a colleage and centered around my interests in Archaeology & Anthropology.
Following a brief tour of the college I wrote the first of two 90 minute essays: "The trade in antiquities - should it be banned ?". After a 15 minute break I wrote for 60 minutes on "The job of schools is to prepare a child for the world of work" and then 30 minutes summarising what I had written.
I spent several hours going over the interviews in my mind thinking about what I could have said ... I did my best: in two weeks we'll know if it was good enough.
