    1. OK I’ll plan to leave my hotel/house an hour and a 1/2 ahead of time.

    2. That’ll be plenty of time.

    3. Ugh my mom is calling.

    4. Doesn’t she know that her “pep talks” are really just “stress talks”?

    5. “YES MOM, I KNOW. DON’T DO THE CAT EYE MAKEUP I USUALLY DO.”

    6. Hang up.

    7. Sleep time!

    8. JK Can’t sleep TOO MUCH ANXIETY.

    9. Maybe I’ll just watch the Food Network for like 5 minutes.

    10. That’ll make me tired.

    11. JK Diners, Drive Ins and Dives is on and Guy Fieri is my best friend.

    35. All of the students are going to an exam.

    67. Ugh whatever she has to look at mine, too.

    68. “HELLO! DR. ______ SO NICE TO MEET YOU”

    69. OMG WHYYY am I talking in such a high voice?

    72. “I also heard that the students are very happy.”

    73. Ok, she’s smiling, maybe she likes me?

    74. YAY she’s laughing.

    75. She likes me!

    76. She really really likes me!

    77. Wow, we’re done already?

    78. That actually wasn’t so bad.

    79. Talking about yourself for 1/2 hour is actually quite easy.

    81. I’m hungry.

    82. Is it lunch time yet?

    83. PIZZZZZA!!!

    84. Oh funny everyone’s eating now because the interviews are over.

    85. Let the record show that I was brave enough to eat when everyone was anxious.

    86. Bravery should be admired.

    87. Oh look first years are here to eat with us!

    88. Wow, they really do all look happy.
