Delayed responses

Well, I guess I should get around to explaining a few things that happened earlier in the week.

As Prof DeGenaro said in class, I liked the papers this time around. It was a lot more interesting to read about someone. Overall, I thought the papers were written better as well. Maybe once everyone got the jitters out of the first paper and knew what was expected of them, they were able to create something that much more.

My experiences with the interview were not really what I expected. Meaning, I actually enjoyed it. I figured I'd get in there, bang it out, thank my interviewee, and head on home to start up the project. However, I ended up staying at the food pantry offices for about 2 and a half hours. Sue seemed to enjoy talking about what she does, what the pantry stands for, and what she wants to have done. Even after we were done with all of my questions pertaining to the essay, she started asking me questions about school and my major. Apparently she's really interested in Psychology, so she wanted to hear everything that I knew since I've been going to U of M. Like I said earlier, I didn't expect to go there and end up talking about myself.

After reading the proper interview etiquette thing recently posted, I'll probably go back and thank Sue again and show her the paper once we're finished. I haven't had too many opportunities to go to the pantry to work recently, due to school. I'll probably go there over Spring Break to let them know I haven't been slacking off...
