OMG.. I have been ill since last thursday. My throat hurts and I can barely talk. Friday, I lost my voice completely, but now I have been told that I can't speak that much every day if I want to get better. That is because my throat needs to relax. Whatever that means. This couldn't have come at a worse time because tomorrow, I have my oral exam (presentation) in TOK (Theory of Knowledge; a philosophy subject). On top of that, a lady just called, asking me if I could come to a job interview tomorrow after school.

First off; the oral presentation. A friend of mine and I have decided to talk about how music affects people in different ways, focusing on differences between the genders and people from different nationalities and cultural backgrounds. Don't worry; our "research question" was much better formulated than that. Anyhow, I have not been able to practice at all this week-end due to my illness, and I did not want my partner to get sick as well. Today, I tried to be at school, but I had to go home after the two first hours. I was feeling really ill. Now, I'm worse than I was on friday.. This is killing me! I have just been laying in my bed all day, not doing a thing. I have slept, taken painkillers and slept some more. That's about all. Now, it's about time I started studying for the oral exam. The problem is, I can't; I have to save my voice for tomorrow..

Second; A job interview right after my oral exam? Yeah, that's a disaster bound to happen isn't it? Do you really think that I have the voice to do an interview? No. But I said yes.. "Of course I could come. Why not?". I applied for so many jobs this summer, and I was just so happy that someone finally got in touch with me. I couldn't say no. So this job is in a clothing store. The lady told me to prepare a little speech about myself and why I want the job. Seriously? I can't even think about that now. I have my presentation tomorrow and I'm sick!

I'm freaking out! I have never been to a job interview before. Why do I want the job? I don't know.. My head is spinning and I can't even think straight. I just hope I don't mess up.. Or throw up. Or even lose my voice completely like I did on friday.
