The Interview

It went really well. Among 20 kandidates on our MA Womenswear list, who came that morning to CSM, 6 of us made it to the personal interview. The Nazi lady, the head of our department, wasn't there though. I got interviewed by 2 other professors, who were actually really nice. My heart was pounding, but I managed to cool down, relax, and on the end even joke a little. They asked me questions like: Are you able to take negative kriticism? (because mrs Wilson-the Nazi Lady, will break you down, tear you to pieces!) How do I see myself after the school if I get in, What will happen if I don't get in; What did I do so far; Why did I apply to CSM... Not really any tricky questions, more of a personality test.
They told me my portfolio is really really nice and asked me if all slovenian students make such an effort or is it just me..:) I told them that you get only one chance to impress. I have learned it well through my life experiences and application to the best fashion school in the world is something I took very seriously.
I left the building with a good feeling.
Now I must wait for about 5 weeks for the letter....

The holy grail of Central Saint Martins is only 1 day away

I am going mental at this very moment. I haven't been so nervous since ITS#5. It's a big day ahead of me tomorrow. I will be staying over at somebody I don't know yet. Friend of a friend of a friend, who lives in the "Manhattan" area of the city. Thanks to facebook and the modern age of communication.
I will be meeting Manca, my dearest squatter/language editor/party animal friend. And probably some other Slovenians currently living in London. I have checked already if there's any good line-ups in Fabric, but luckilly Freeland and Evil Nine are not playing. Otherwise I would probably want to go to my interview straight from the party. Hoooh!

I got another email from the Not Just A Label team saying:
"We are launching a new project in June, our best designers will be invited to sell their best pieces on NJAL. We absolutely would love you to take part. We'll be in touch next week."

Sounds promising and it make's me very happy.
In case that mrs. Louise from CSM tells me to fuck off from her school, I can still look forward to something that smells like international project. Yaaay!

My dear readers and friends, please wish me luck and please think of me on thursday 10AM!
I will need it.
