So whats going on with me? I've got a test at 5:30pm, a small one which shouldn't be too drastic. I'm sitting here reading and studying stuff, I seems all fairly easy type of stuff.

Grad Apps: Still doing them, still got a few more places to apply to, I reckon I've done nearly 20 applications, which might not seem like a lot but they can be very time consuming! I got through to an interview/assessment centre stage for one company, they are flying me to Sydney to do it which is pretty cool. I thought I was going to have to pay for it but they will, rock on. I am a bit dubious on what to expect, they said it would be a "structured interview" with representatives from the company and the recruiting firm, aptitude and reasoning tests (which they say I can't prepare for), participate in a group activity and presentation. Then if I do well on this I go back for a final interview, then if I do well again I get a job offer.

So now I have to figure out the best way to prepare, i'm going to do some more heavy research on the company (although I already know a fair bit about the company and program I am applying for), try and practice common interview questions, really memorize what the hell I wrote in my resume/cover letters/applcations as I am starting to get a bit confused on what I said to who now, find some aptitude tests to practice doing, go see the careers people at uni and ask them to give me what advice they can. Any suggestions from anyone out there reading this is most welcome.

So yeah, apart from all this going down I am also going to Bendigo on the weekend until ANZAC day to look after the cats while my parents are out of town, I have so much friggin' schoolwork to do it is ridiculous, and it all needs to be pretty much done in the next 3 weeks. I was hoping to have a relaxing time in Bendigo but it looks like i'll be doing a fair bit of homework at this rate. Here is hoping I can get a chunk of it done by Friday night so I am not stressing hard all weekend.

Is the amount of work you have to do reaching a peak, or can you look forward to even more work towards the end of the semester?
