Buildings seemed older. The weather was nasty that day, but they can't control that... or can they?? j/k

That it was going to be raining... all day. I needed an umbrella.

Overall, the interview was easy. The written quiz/essay was not hard at all. The oral communication part was easy as well. There were some misspellings in the section I had to read, but what can you do?

Possibly eliminating the paper acceptance letters and sending out emails.
