Channel 6 interview

I survived!

Not only that, but I sounded coherent and didn't have that deer in the headlights look, or so I'm told. I had to get up so early that my brain wasn't fully functioning, so I forgot to set the VCR. Luckily, Leah did tape it, so I can check out her copy and see for myself.

It was really pretty interesting being in the television studio, with all its little "stations" set up for the weather guy, the anchors, the guests, and the cameras, the teleprompters, etc. I admit, I didn't take in too much of it to start -- I was about to hyperventilate -- but I finally reminded myself that Selena has learned the art of projecting calm even when she isn't, and if she could do it, surely I could try. And it worked, more or less.

Next time I won't worry nearly so much, and by the time I make it to The Today Show with Matt Lauer (hey, we all dream, right?), I'll be ready! Rachel9:15 AM
