What are your general comments?

When I met my interviewer I found out that he is from Winston-Salem, NC, near where I live. I found out that I played soccer with and against his son. For the majority of the interview we talked about soccer and how that has been a big influence in my life. We also talked about evolution and how it has affected the structure and functions of the body. Overall, it was just a regular conversation.
