My PhD Interview *updated

Seriously I am so tired today.
The interview went for about 45 mins, Overall, from my perspective IT IS PRETTY BAD!

The panel asked me bout the physics of medical interaction, seriously it is already rusty.
So Id answered the best I can, huhu, I didn't think they will ask bout that.
And my confidence considerably drop after that, Hope its no too obvious.

And it is hard to communicate via video conferencing, there is this stupid video lag, that make you unsure where to interrupt the speaker.

I hope I look fine to them,
thank God, I didn't wear tie/suit, one of the project's supervisor appear in his undershirt, but they are pretty friendly to me,
but I hate my performance back then.

Erm, result can only be known in few days, Now I am certainly not sure, am I really a PhD material after the interview. Seriously DOWN! and tired with today.

Update on 10.00pm
feel much better Alhamdulillah
Still hoping...

Update on 25th (8 hours after the interview)
an email from the project supervisor
Dear Hafiz,

Thank you for letting us interview you today. We were impressed with your performance and are interesting in taking you on as a student for the project we discussed with you, but as I said this morning, we need to sort out one or two things before we can offer you a place. My colleagues at The Registry are finalising the financial details and will be in a position to tell you exactly what the costs are (both your living costs and all institute fees) within the next two weeks. Then they will email you with an offer of a place subject to the fees being paid and you being self-supporting financially. They will also write to you with a contract. Once again thanks for approaching us concerning this studentship.

Best wishes,
Alhamdulillah, Ill get a conditional offer letter, hope the scholarship can support the fees.
Thanks all for yr prayers.
My feelings? I think Im too numb, to feel anything at the moment
