Interviews
What is that you see? Barbara Walters? Oprah Winfrey? Montel Williams? No, it's Alex Qin! I was assigned an English project which involved interviewing someone somehow related to the topic that we were to choose. The topic I've chosen is global warming, and I decided to interview an ecology/environmental science professor at the local community college. Using my outstanding interviewing skills, I made him answer my questions, thus collecting more information for my project. After school on Monday, I had to rush back home, get all my materials, and head out the door to drive to the college. It took about twenty minutes to get there, and we still had to find a place to park, and we still had to find the place where I was supposed to meet with the professor! Let me tell you, college campuses are really hard to navigate. "Alex, ask for directions!" "No, I can find it!" "Okay fine. Find it then." *five minutes later* "Mom, I think we're lost." "AIYAH!" So, after that, my mom spent ten minutes lecturing me on asking for directions. In the end, we had to ask for directions...
In my defense, the building I was supposed to meet in was a new building, so all the maps on campus didn't have it yet. I was being mislead!
"MOM, WHERE IS THE DUDE?!"
"Don't worry, he'll show."
"EMIGAWD. IT'S 4:05, HE'S LATE!"
"He's a college professor, he has the right to be late."
"WHAT IF HE FORGOT? EMIGAWD. I'M DEAD."

I don’t like projects like that. =(
I’m not too good asking people questions.

Wow, that’d be strange: 13 year old vs. college professor. Which college was this?

I’m betting it was Chabot.
Oh, an Indian girl was looking for you (in orchestra, I think?) and Irving after school today.
pancakes.

Haha, I can totally imagine Alex vs. a college professor.
I think it was probably Ohlone.

Hi!
I’ve been reading some of your blogs and they’re awesome xD
I had to interview one of my English teachers last year, but it was really annoying but she kept butting in with her own questions!
Maybe next time I should try the “intense stare” tactic ;]

You should have called Sole, Stephen or Thomas. They had a clear view of the campus from the roof. :] That is, if that’s Chabot.

Lol, I just did a similar thing for one of my classes at uni. I don’t really like interviewing people though. I never know what to ask!
