Oxford interview

Hello.

 I am going to my Oxford interview tomorrow afternoon.

I am afraid.

I am so incredibly scared and under prepared it is not even funny.

I am going to Oxford tomorrow and on Monday morning I will have a one hour exam and then 2-3 interviews and the only thing I know is that I know nothing, while this is quite a brilliant deduction, I have to say that despite part of the degree being philosophy the admission tutors are not likely to accept this as a valid answer for all their questions.

In my personal statement I said that my my particular intereest in Philosophy is the idea of morality which was fuelled by Aristotle's book Ethics, a book which I have not read as of yet. Which I can see right now and which is not understandable. And yet I have another brilliant quote to deflect any possible questions regarding the book: I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about <-- it is by Rousseau, someone I will happily talk about and have also mentioned in Personal Statement, luckily without false proclamations of having read The Social Contract in the original french or something rediculous like that.

At least I have nearly finished the Political Animal and now know interesting things about politician and just how barmy they all are.

On the bright side all that research and revision into Poltics and philosophy means that I have completely disregarded that PPE stand for politics, philosphy and economics and have done very minimum revision into the central economic principles I used to know and love and that have chosen to abandon me in my hour of need.

I will be back on Wednesday, WISH ME LUCK for I am in dire need of it.

That's exactly what happened to your birthday fic, I keep trying to get them to have sex but then other things happened and they just refuse to do it, apart from Sirius, Sirius could do it straight away. I can't wait for the interview to be over to read and beta it, back alley seems like a very good setting. What challenge is it for?

Best. Icon. Ever.

Can I borrow your Sirius? My Sirius is somehow convinced that it's wrong to shag his godson, but he hasn't any qualms about shagging anybody else available, which makes Harry annoyed and jealous.

The fic is for the Secret Sirry Santa over at [livejournal.com profile] sirry_slash

Should I send you what I've got so far as an appetizer of things to come ;-) ?

No *hides my Sirius* but my Remus is a bit like your Sirius and so things take a while.

Send it of course, but I won't attampt to do any betaing before I come back and I will probabaly read it tomorrow, as I need my beauty sleep :)
