i was reaaallllly nervous, but the interview wasn't bad at all. i felt like they really wanted to get to know me and what i was about. my ''cold'' interviewer recognized how nervous i was and reminded me to relax halfway through :) she further put me at ease by calling me at 630 that night to let me know i had beena accepted!
