Out of my comfort zone

I just hit the send button for my scholarship application. Wohooooo! Now the waiting game begins. No biggie though, just a bit over 10000 pounds are on the line here :D
The application consisted of different parts, motivational and academic etc, the usual stuff. And then…a video. Excuse me? Who knows me knows that I don’t even like being photographed (Jazz knows how I panic and hide :D ) but as it was compulsory one had to do whatever was needed. So obviously I am no guru and don’t cut and edit a great thing together like the pro youtubers, so the only option was to have the perfect take in one sitting. If I messed up I had to start again. Did it countless times, but practice truly makes perfect and on the third day I kinda mastered it. To be honest, I never thought it would be so hard though, because you talk to the camera, how hard can it be, right? Very! Especially as my scholarship might be dependant on that. And every little detail starts bugging you when you watch it, like the noises you do between sentences or words you use or when you look away for even a split second or the pace of talking, literally everything.

Anyway, I did my best, so fingers crossed now!
