Day 306: Interviews Interviews Interviews

November 2nd, 2011Today was the second day of a long and terribly painful sequence of interviews for my COGN150 class. In the morning, I went straight to EHS where I worked for a couple hours. Afterwards, I met up with Bee-John at Hi Thai even though I warned him not to get the food. He got it anyway and would ultimately regret it at the WTCC meeting, this week located at the Thich Nhat Hanh room. In attendance was Elviana, Nick, and Matt as we discussed away what to do in relation to the upcoming events: Disneyland and December Nights. Afterwards, I interviewed Nick about his childhood, and somehow we got into a distracting conversation about his involvement in Imports at UCSD, a random club where a bunch of car enthusiasts simply meet up and talk about cars. I snapped a picture of the beautiful room with an awe-inspiring quote attached to it. Afterwards, I met up with Victoria and we had our interview outside of the room on the second floor of the Student Center. I proceeded to Geisel, dropped off my stuff with Geetha, turned in my paper in my POLI113A class, and then went back to Geisel to study/relax for one hour before the immediate start of hours upon hours of interviews.

I first interviewed Michael Aranda outside Zanzibar, interviewed Marie Lea outside Zanzibar, interviewed Leah outside Zanzibar, interviewed Amy Elizabeth on the second floor of the commuter lounge, interviewed John Cuellar outside the commuter lounge, and eventually interviewed Rashika outside of Zanzibar. I got mixed responses from all of them, but I should have the basic material needed to make a merely adequate documentary. I went to Geetha’s place afterwards to relax for a bit, as we shuttled on over to the bus stop. Alexis picked me up, we went to Phil’s and exchanged stories before I went back home to change. YUM EL TORO. I ended the night studying and hanging out with Geetha.
