Interview questions

Molly and I wrote up the questions for the interview in class today. We did give this job to Justyna however we had not received them after contacting her numerous times. Subsequently we had to write them ourselves. This made me feel a bit stressed since we had other bits of work that we had to do and it would have been nice to split our duties. Also it made us look a bit unprofessional since the Dome had asked us to send them the questions many times and I was unable to send them back.
