Imagine you have only 24 hours to the final interview (those who had it or wait for it know how it feels). It seems the time started slowing down. You are trying to concentrate on other things, but you cannot. The work is waiting, but you do not care. You have a folder of papers ready, but you keep thinking if that is all you need and if you could do anything else. You keep asking yourself "what if"...

What did you do to help yourself survive the last 24 hours? Could you sleep at all? Any piece of advice? :wacko:

Thanks for the answers. I am glad it came, but cannot stop biting my fingers. It is easier to share the feeling and talk about it. And I know I am not the only one feeling this way. We all get nervous.

I will share the experience as well, that's for sure @sweetybabe. :)

Good luck to you too o0pink0o , just two more days to go. :thumbs:

I barely slept the night before our interview and spent the entire night thinking, "What if we didn't prepare enough!??" I was doing a mental inventory of all of our documents, the proof of relationship (photos, emails, bills, etc), and domicile. I had checked everything a million times, but anxiety got the best of me! Everything turned out well and I certainly worried entirely too much about the interview. My husband did a great job. :)

I think if you just make sure you've prepared your documents and everything's in order, you just need to try and relax! Easier said than done, though.... :blush:

Good luck!!! :thumbs:
