I talked too much.... that will change so be ready to speak up! :) I was glad to begin our journey together. I hope you will not be too overwhelmed. When you come next week, if you have your questions to share about your interviews, that will be fine. If not, you can email them to me prior to when you do the interviews. They don't have to be done until the semester ends, so breathe! :)
