Worry & Worrying
2.30PM:
A has an interview with a b-school today. Ever since morning, I have been anxious and a little worried and excited and happy and nervous all at the same time. I can't remember a time I was this nervous before my own exam. But I guess my competitive spirit and ambition have never been very high. I know these interviews will decide A's next steps and that even though he doesn't say it aloud - he is very nervous and anxious about them too. I hope the interview today and the one scheduled for next week go well.
This funny feeling has me thinking - Was my mother as worried about me when I was going to take an exam? Are parents this worried, nervous and anxious?
I tend to over think and over worry about everything. I think I am much like Monica from friends. I hate to admit it but I am a control freak. I need to know that everything is as planned or expected, I need the house clean and in order for me to be able to relax. I fret and panic too much in case of too many unknowns. A on the other hand chooses to be ultra cool about everything going wrong - which infuriates me even more and leads to fights! :-D
But then fighting is so much more fun :-)
