The note: Let's capture some memories for future generations. Use the attached list of suggested questions to video record interviews of each other. SHMILY! Amy
The envelope: A list of interview questions that was similar to those found here.
Spencer: We decided not to video tape this interview date. This date was meant to make a record, but as we looked at the questions, it was apparent that the questions were meant for a young person to ask a much older person. Most of the questions were along the veins of, "What was life like when you were a kid?" Of course, Amy and grew up in the same decade, more or less. However, some of the questions were good. We ended up spending the night nostalgiaing (I now officially claim that this is a real word) with each other.
Amy: This date wasn't one of the best we've ever had, but we had a good time reminiscing with each other for an hour or so. This might be a more interesting date if we hadn't been together for so long and known the answers to most of the provided questions. That's what I get for not really looking at the what the questions were ahead of time!

Date 7: Spin the Wheel
The note: none
The envelope: Spin the Wheel - it landed on "her choice"
Amy: This one is cheating a little bit. My advisor had won an award and was giving a presentation at a banquet. So we hired a babysitter and headed to the banquet. Spencer doesn't know a whole lot about the technicalities of my research, but he at least got an overview of the type of work I do and got to meet some of my classmates. Afterwards, we headed to a local frozen yogurt place for dessert.
Spencer: From what I remember, several of Amy's advisor's students attended the banquet to give him moral support and hear his speech. I did not mind at all being there to support him, and although I am not earning a PhD in Environmental Engineering, I do have enough of a technical background to understand most of what he said... I think. It was good learning about what my wife has been doing and will be doing, especially since I can now describe it better to people who ask (and, trust me, this happens fairly often).
