What are your general comments?

My first interviewer liked reading the file right before the interview so you had to wait outside his office for a while. Then he received a call and seemed rushed to end the interview. My second interviewer was a fourth year student who rolled her eyes a lot. I'm not sure if it's an idiosyncrasy or if she hated my answers. Overall, they both tried to be nice.
