Approximately 3 hour dirve. Left school after 4th hour. Just came back before 11 pm. Really tired. Did no homework-dammit. Didn't eat that much but feel extremely full. And my mind keeps replaying that interview over and over again. It was emotionally draining. It seems that there may be about 100 contestants still left in the game, and they are trying to cut it down to 15. I heard that there was a huge number of applicants. The number 100 was estimated from what little I picked up from here and there since they weren't allowed to tell me outright how many were still in. However, I have enough clues to be pretty confident about that number.

They asked me a ton of really personal questions which was fine with me, until at one moment I was telling a story about my family and dad when one of the interviewers started to cry because it was so sweet and so that made me get emotional too. They asked me what my darkest secrets were, silliest wishes, and people that I really hated who I wanted to show them like, "hah, look at me. I am a success and you aren't" kind of thing. I had to talk to the camera and pretend that it was my enemy and I had to say my statement of triumphant revenge at it. I just could not bring myself to do it. It was too contrived and not something I would ever do. Then they told me to display my vocal talents in a goofy manner since they already got to see me singing normally-I sang LeAnn Rimes. They said to imitate Britney Spears so I did Hit Me Baby One More Time. I was very lame cause I did not know the dance so I had to kind of make it up. It was truly embaressing, but I suspect that is the way they meant it to be. To see how I would react to embaressment and to see my "goofy side". I can be very goofy under normal conditions but I am a terrible actress.
