Rendezvous

I walked out of the room feeling pretty goddamn good about myself, I remember. The interviewer told me that he was most impressed with me, and that's taking consideration of all the people he has interviewed this admission year, he added. He asked me how I prepared, because I seemed like I was. I didn't want to sound like one of those, Oh, I didn't study... I'm just oh-so naturally talented/intelligent/beautiful/smart/charming kinda people, but I was searching through my mind to find something intelligent to say about how I prepared, but I didn't have an answer. Because I didn't have one. This was the only question he asked that I didn't have an answer for. I told him I was prepared because I went to real interviews, with real firms, not internship jobs or those hourly paid ones (that aim at school kids). Real jobs with real prospects of rejection and most of all responsibilities, so I think I just learned. He asked if I read books on it. I told him I googled, How to act like you're confident when you're really not, and gave a laugh. He didn't, but said that he was impressed, as if ignoring what I just said.
"You know you can make anyone like you if you wanted them to," Danii said knowingly. I laugh because I'm just goddamn good at acting like I'm confident when I'm really not.
