So today I felt like a disappointment to Physics.
I recently, last minutely, applied for a tutoring position at the Sanger Learning Center on UT campus. I mentioned I was a Physics major and capable of tutoring Physics and Calculus. Today I went in for an interview, which turned into a competency exam that I was not expecting. The exam covered Electricity and Magnetism, which I am not the best at and have not used since last semester. I honestly probably did every problem except the optics one incorrectly. If I had known I was going to be given this exam I probably would have been more prepared, but I was caught so off guard it was terrible. Besides, I would have been much more comfortable with a Calculus or Mechanics test.
Boooooooooooooo, tomorrow I go back in for an actual interview and a mock teaching session. I'm sure I can nail the interview and the mock session with my previous SI experience, but pineapple I felt so bad. This job pays 11$/hour if I get it.
