How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, talk radio.

What impressed you positively?

Almost everything I saw. The weather too, but that was sheer luck I was told.

What impressed you negatively?

The IHP building is sequestered and apparently not what it is cracked up to be.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Aliens abduct people from this neighborhood. (Bastards snatched a couple while I was there.)

What are your general comments?

Very low-stress, relaxed atmosphere. No sense in getting nervous, will just be a waste of energy. The day was fairly enjoyable, would have been more so if I wasn't so tired. Shout out to Ms. Welch!
