今天早上早早的去领了学生卡，然后去到办公室找赵师兄，师兄带着我去到老师的办公室。这是我第一次见到老师，老师给人很亲切的感觉，说的英语我也能几乎听懂。最后还用中文给我谈了好一会儿，挺安心的。

然后 chathuranga 和师兄给我搬了电脑，没几分钟就中午了。和 amirthan 一起去上课，他的胡子是真的茂盛。感觉他们说话有点听不懂。

到教室开始第一堂课，采矿概论。老师不是很熟练的样子，连怎么连接电脑都不会。老师是博士候选人，干起来很强壮的样子，说的英语我是一句也听不懂。

课程结束我就去办电话卡和银行卡了。结果银行卡没办成功，需要预约。电话卡办好了不能用，弄了一下午，最后搜小红书设置才搞好。不过居然要 80 刀的开台费，有点肉疼。

最后做了 40 多分钟的公交回来，到家已经比较晚了。发现大家都没有开台费，于是便自己在网上开始搜索。属于是中国人专坑中国人了，因为这件事导致我一直很郁闷。

晚上发现床垫上面有血渍，也是挺膈应的，我还是喜欢睡地板的感觉。

PS：对了，办卡被坑归被坑，但了解到了 ua 硕士的申请，并不是想象中那么困难。办卡小姐姐的情况和我和欢欢简直一模一样，要是她也能来这边就好了。

师兄准备陪我去领卡，结果长周末，啥都没开门。去学校 sub 还碰上了免费发热狗。结果热狗是素的，给吃的恶心得不行。

师兄真的是超级好，我们一起几乎逛遍了校园，还走到河谷，走到 downtown，然后做地铁回家。

回家后做了汉堡吃，实在是有点不喜欢吃这些。

Strictly speaking, this was my second structured interview. The first one was when I took the civil service selection exam in Anshun before graduating. Back then, I didn’t prepare seriously—I just watched a few videos to get familiar with the interview process. Naturally, the lack of preparation led to failure, though I was surprised to have made it to the interview stage with a completely unprepared written test.

This time, I thought I should put in some effort. If I wasn’t going to prepare properly, I might as well not go at all. So, I asked Huanhuan to help me practice for two evenings, and I also did some brief solo practice. Niwa was incredibly patient and thoughtful, explaining all sorts of interview details and precautions to me—so much so that I got a bit annoyed, haha. But deep down, I was really grateful to her.

Today, I left the house in a rush and ended up forgetting my ID card. However, the staff were very meticulous and checked my identity information through 12306 and Alipay, allowing me to proceed without having to go back for my ID or being denied entry.

After the check, I sat down in the waiting room, and the instinctive nervousness of an interview kicked in. I chatted briefly with the staff there, which helped me relax a little.

When it was time to draw lots for the interview order, I was the last to pick—there wasn’t much choice left. I ended up with number 3. Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of videos on Bilibili from interview training accounts that mock nervous candidates in funny skits. They always use “Candidate 3” as an example, so when I drew this number, I couldn’t help but laugh.

Then came the interview. Compared to my first time, I was much more relaxed, and everything felt natural. There were still many examiners—a small room packed with over ten people under bright lights.

There were three questions, with 15 minutes in total:

1. A quote from Xi Jinping;
2. Emergency response to natural disasters;
3. A junior staff member unwilling to fulfill emergency duty obligations.

I hadn’t seriously practiced the first type of question, so I just said whatever came to mind—things like life values and patriotism. The second question was similar to what Huanhuan and I had practiced, so I was more familiar with it. For the third, I approached it with a people-oriented mindset, emphasizing understanding and leading by example in persuasion.

After the interview, I waited in the scoring room for what felt like forever. Time dragged on because we weren’t allowed to do anything—no talking, no reading, no phones. I don’t know how long I waited, but it seemed like they were discussing the scoring criteria for quite some time.

Finally, they called us over to hear our scores, and soon it was my turn. My final score: 85.8. I was quite satisfied with this result—barring any surprises, it should be the highest.

After studying briefly in the morning, I felt drowsy again.

Tomorrow, Xiaoyi has an interview with the Emergency Management Bureau, so he came to stay at Niuwa’s place tonight. We had a meal together and went to find Deng Ya and the others.

In the evening, Huanhuan’s house was filled with relatives. I called and messaged her, but she didn’t respond promptly. I knew she was once again facing pressure from all those relatives, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Today seems to have passed in a daze.
