How happy is a clam really?

Nervous hardly describes my current mood. Just conducted my first graded CFI client interview, and had the client completely clam up on me! She would not tell me a thing. She just sat there and looked at me. When I asked her questions, she simply gave one word answers. I tried to make her comfortable, but she just would not divulge information. In hindsight, I should have probed. I should have been more forceful with my questions, but I wasn't and I just know I did not get the information that I should have gotten. Well, I guess I can only go up from here.

My mind has now turned the corner, as I have one last big event today. My speech for managing editor. It might be terrible for me to say this, but I honestly think I would be the best person for the job. If there is one thing I am good at it is organizing events and people. While there are many other competent people, I can honestly say that I have a nack for working with others and helping them manage tasks. Likewise, I am an event planner by make and mark. Putting events together, and getting them to run smoothly is something I pride myself on. Furthermore, I enjoy doing it. There is nothing as gratifying as when you plan something, you work hard to see it through, and then it goes off without a hitch. PERFECTION! Let's just hope I am able to eloquently express this to the voters, and that I don't clam up like the client I interviewed earlier.

Wish me well!
