2 pley a littul dres uph
Went and talked with my contact who has sat on PA school interviews with UAB today. Things went well and I'm feeling cozy about my upcoming interview. When I got home I did something I haven't done in a long time.
I played dress up. There were some logical motivations behind the dressing up only to dress down 10 minutes later, but at the root of it was a childish feeling to get dressed up and see what grown ups look like. I put on my interview suit, tied a full windsor tie (learned that last night) and looked in the mirror. I realized that it's not really a just a feeling of being grown up anymore, I am a grown up... who just happens to live at home with his parents.
I put everything on as it would be for the interview, except the dress shoes. I walked around in my socks and looked in the mirror at the suit and myself. I'm 100 % positive I was having the masculine version of "I feel pretty" when I looked in the mirror. Somehow playing dress up, seeing the suit in its entirety (post being-tailored), and seeing myself in the suit made me realize that I've got nothing to worry about. It made me think of all the people in my life who have lent encouraging words. Sherryl thinks I'm going to do fine, Lisa thinks I'm going to be fine, everyone I know thinks I'm going to be fine, and now I feel it too ... simply from playing a little dress up.
