So, I went to go get a straight black tie around ten-thirty. I got home around eleven, only to find that my dad had left (my first interview was at 11:30). Neither my mom nor I knew how to tie a tie, so after looking it up on youtube and tying a semi-decent tie, I left around 11:13. The place was about 15 minutes away, but when I finally got there I couldn't find any parking, and ended up parking two blocks down and had to sprint to the building to be there on time.
I got there and was able to sit down for two minutes or so, and actually met a track friend from another school there who was being interviewed as well. I got called into Harry Reid's office, and that interview went badly. I was out of breath, shaking, couldn't think, nervous, and ended up giving an overall bad impression I think:
"So why the Air Force Academy?"
"Well, it's in Colorado, and has some beautiful scenery."
"So after you leave, you think we'll remember you wanting to go to the USAFA just because of its 'beautiful scenery'??"
*crap*
