Yesterday I had scheduled an interview with Bill Moomaw of the Fletcher School’s Center for International Environmental and Resource Policy at Tufts. I lost sleep the night beforehand because I was excited and nervous! When I left for the meeting, I forgot part of the camera–the part that connects the microphone and the camera I think. I shouldn’t be trusted with these things–and so we rescheduled for next week at the same time. Jeff and I talked previously about how it’s important to be warmed up to the person you’re interviewing, and so I took the opportunity to talk to Professor Moomaw a little bit. It helped to make me more comfortable, anyway. Bill Moomaw is a big name.

Also, I got to meet Ben, the video editor. This is exciting for me, as it is the next person with whom I will work on this project. I told Ben I was a little bit nervous about this. It will be great, and I’m happy to have some fresh input because this was getting a little bit stale for me.

I’m happy for the dry run on the Moomaw interview.  Ben helped to remind me what was productive about this meeting, which I’m happy for. This is the role that Jeff filled in China. good deal.
