I have had times where I have felt better and then not known what to do with myself. It was as if the skills that I had before I got depressed had atrophied and I had to practice them again. Just like if you don't exercise for a while, you can't return directly to the same level of workout that you would have been at. I'm sure that the interview for the position will go well. Just remember to take deep breaths and not talk to fast (always my problem when I get nervous). I think you'll be great and I'm sure they will see that also.

As for the French presentation is there any way you can talk to your professor about it? Even if to just find out your grade? If it ends up being worse than you planned on, you may be able to work with him on a way to make sure that you do really well for the rest of the semester. If not, remember that it is just one grad in one class. While it is at the front of your mind right now, it is not the end of the world. In ten years no one is going to remember what grade you got in French class.

I think it is a great idea that you are connecting with your counselor again. She can help you exercise those muscles that became atrophied during your depression. It can be scary to get back out there.

Remember all of us here care about you and want the best for you.
Thanks for this!
