The mock interview was as pointless and useless as predicted. I knew it was going to be bad when the interviewers admitted in the first minute that they didn't know much about computers. They seemed to think that I'd want to be a secondary school teacher if I couldn't be a university lecturer, and kept asking me odd questions about teaching classes. They also asked me about current events, so I got to hold forth on why America should at the very least work out why it wants to bomb Iraq before doing so, and how I think the exam board were correct in the A-level fiasco and it's only because of media pressure that the govt have suddenly decided that they wanted something different to happen. I do think I'm good at spouting opinions with only a tenuous grasph of the relevant facts, if that.

I don't like writing LJ entries that are just one big paragraph, but over half of that paragraph is just one sentance, and the first bit looks silly on its own.
