OHP

Our oral history project interview went fairly well,  the only things I would change are minor things.  As a videographer it was my job to take a video and transfer it onto a computer, my job went fairly well. The only problem was I forgot to ask how to transfer it onto a computer, with some help I was able to do it, but it took about an hour and a half to start the upload in and then another 30 minutes to upload.

(She) was scared that they would be disappointed." When she started meeting her family however they were fascinated in her knowledge of European customs. Her friends were completely the opposite she felt comfortable that it would go well but they were shocked by her not going to clubs (259) and after first being exited about her sexual life later they called her a whore (270). One of the biggest problems she had connecting with everyone is she felt they did not understand what she went through in Europe and she was to afraid to bring it up because they were at war (267).
