Say hello to Dr. Maria C.

Finally, it happened. As I waited for the presentation to begin, it took me a while to see that it was for real. It took me a while after I had started talking that I understood it was for real. Everyone who was in the room tells me that I kept my cool and that it was great. On the inside I kept thinking I had forgotten one thing after another that I wanted to say, but even members of the committee commended me for a great presentation. Questions were not what I thought they would be. I was prepared for some thing they asked, and some of the questions I thought they would ask never came. Some of the questions were boring and redundant, while some of them were really out there, and made me realize a lot of things i hadn't consider before.

Now I feel relieved. Like some 10 kilos lighter and also very anxious of what's coming next. Like I always thought, now it's the time to figure out what I want, and if out of everything out there, I can find my dream job in a dreamy city...
