Had a mock interview with a friend
And he told me that I was acting way too intense.
He threw me a couple of curve balls just to break my rhythm, and I fell for it on every occasion. I babbled like a kid arguing with an older brother. There were just too many "um"s. There were just too many moments of pause and awakard silence.
I think I have good contents for the interview, but the main problem seems that I am putting way too much pressure on myself.
Hmmm, any tips on how to relax?

Depends on how you are normally... are you a quirky, playful, love-to-laugh person or are you naturally intense and goal-oriented? To relax, I would suggest to behave however you would normally behave--the interviewers want to know who you really are as a person. If you try to be something different b/c you think that's what they might be looking for, it will just put more pressure on you and you'll come across as either nervous, tense, or fake. So just pretend you're talking about your dreams with an old friend (close bud, if it's an alum; older mentor, if it's adcom) and you should be fine.

Hmm, maybe I am too insecure about my own identity, but somehow I loathe being too intense in a formal environment. In the past, I scared too many people with my intense personality:)
I just hope that Wharton adcom is understanding enough to see through my fierce persona.

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!

I'm glad I came across your automotive gauge blog. I was just doing some more research and also foundautomotive gauge which you should check out if you have a chance.
Many of our modern drugs have harsh side-affects and cost the “earth”, so the next time you come down with a cold or the flu or heat stress, why not try a gentle alternative that costs next to nothing?
Instead of immediately forking over large amounts of money for over-the-counter drugs, go to the kitchen cupboard and see what you can find to relieve your symptoms including heat stress.
Here are some helpful hints for heat stress …
A simple hot compress applied to the face is very soothing to those throbbing aches and pains of a blocked sinus, while a few drops of eucalyptus oil on a handkerchief can provide welcome relief for similar conditions. While supplements of vitamin C, D and zinc will shorten the lifespan of a common cold, a hot lemon drink is also extremely good. And be sure to cuddle-up in bed when you have a cold, as it will make the body sweat out the germs.
Cool lemon juice and honey are a great soother for a sore throat and gives the body much-needed vitamin C at the same time The juice of one lemon in a glass of water is sufficient. Melt the honey in a little hot water for ease of mixing.
A smear of Vaseline or petroleum jelly will do wonders for those sore lips and nose that often accompany a cold.
A 'streaming cold' where the nose and eyes water profusely, can respond to drinking onion water. Simply dip a slice of onion into a glass of hot water for two seconds, then sip the cooled water throughout the day. Half an onion on the bedside table also alleviates cold symptoms because its odor is inhaled while you sleep.
People prone to catarrh may find that chewing the buds from a pine or larch throughout the day will clear up their condition in just a few days.
Do you suffer from sore eyes? If your eyes are sore from lengthy exposure to the sun, try beating the white of an egg and then spread it over a cloth and bandage the eyes with it. Leave the preparation on overnight. Soft cheese (quark) is also a good remedy for this condition.
For those unpleasant times when you suffer from diarrhea, two tablespoons of brown vinegar will usually fix the problem. Vinegar can be rather horrible to take, but who cares! The problem is more horrible. Vinegar can usually be found in most people's cupboards, so you don't need to worry about finding someone to run to the shop for you in an emergency.
Sleepless? Instead of reaching for sleeping pills, which can quickly become addictive, try this: Drink only caffeine free tea or coffee starting late in the afternoon.. Go to bed earlier rather than later, as being overtired tends to keep people awake. Make sure the bedroom is dark and quiet. Use only pure wool or cotton sheets and blankets. Polyester materials can cause sweat and make you thirsty (if your child constantly asks for water throughout the night, this could be the reason).
And don't watch those scary movies just before retiring! If you still can't sleep, make a tea of lemongrass or drink a nightcap of herbal tea containing chamomile. It's easy to grow lemongrass in your garden or start a flower pot on the balcony for ease of picking. Simply steep a handful in boiling water for five minutes. Honey may be added for a sweetener.
Of course there will be times when you do need modern drugs, so if these simple remedies don't have the required affect, be sure to see a health care professional.

Nice site. Check mine out if you can. quick cash
I was going to leave a little tip on New Years Resolutions and how to make the best of them.
Unfortunately, I would not be able to keep it brief.
Goal setting takes effort and you really have to know how to do it to do it well. Especially the follow-up.
That's why I've included a lot of FREE goal setting information on my website, to help folks like you be more successful.
In fact, you can start now, and get a head start on the new year - and the rest of your life.
Think goal setting isn't important? Spend a little time at setting goals and you'll change your mind.
Have a GREAT day!
After a good read on blogs like this I like to leave little tips on goal setting. You know, the things you used to dream of when you were young, or even now.
A lot of research has shown that only those who set goals are likely to achieve their dreams.
When is the last time you really sat down and wrote a few short term and long term goals down?
What? It's been that long!
A new year is coming. You could do the same things you did this year and achieve the same results you did with your life dreams last year, or you could visit long term goals and read all the FREE information on setting goals and getting what you want out of life
OR
you could just piddle on through life hoping for the best, like most people do.
Which will it be?
You really can have a lot more of everything than you do now. All you gotta do is know what you want and have a plan.
Have a GREAT New Year!
