Not Awkward Enough

   For my third interview, I interviewed my aunt's ex-husband. He was a red-haired, middle-aged businessman who currently resided in Pleasanton. I asked my aunt before if it was okay to talk to him. At first, she hesitated to answer but then told me that it was fine. Her reaction made me a little nervous about the whole situation. It gave me a feeling that this interview was going to be awkward. It was going to be at my parents' restaurant so my aunt was going to be there while i interviewed him. When I did interview him, surprisingly, it wasn't awkward at all. My aunt ignored him most of the time however. He was a really big help despite the awkward tension that was radiating between him and my aunt. I could feel it in the air, it really distracted me at time. I really got a lot out of this interview. By far the best out of all of them. I think that him being younger, and able to speak fluent English really helped the fact that his interview was the most helpful. Although it wasn't as casual and relaxed as the last two, I still enjoyed talking to him about his past. This interview was very filling. I am full. Can I have the check please?

Wow, that sounds like it would be really awkward to have somebody that was technically removed from your family. It sounds good that you actually could get a good interview going with him even though you could feel the tension between them. I hope that you get a good grade on it all! KEEP IT WORKIN C-HANNAH!
