Progress makes me happy

I think I made a breakthrough with my latest interview(s). My first one with a local firefighter and a firefighter's wife was a little on the unprofessional side. For one, I asked more than three questions (this was before you gave us the golden rule), and I stuttered... a lot. Before I even asked the questions, I made sure that they knew it was my first interview (this then took some pressure off my back). Not gonna lie, I was nervous even with my notebook and already written out questions.
On the brighter side, interview(s) part II was a great success. I got the pleasure to interview two (somewhat) local Yoga instructors and their views on Wii Fit. I asked them about three questions each and I was much more confident this time. I feel like the major difference was that they knew I wasn't a professional, and I knew they knew that I knew that (catch my drift?). It also helped that these two were much more friendly and were impressed by my Quality of Life topic. That helped a little.
All in all, I'm proud of myself and I'm getting better. In time, I'm sure I'll make a great interviewer.
