In Class Interview (2/12/09)

The following is me interviewing Brad and his answers…

What is your name?
“Brad Maushart”
Where are you from?
“Guilford, IN”
What grade are you in here at Ball State?
“I’m a freshman”
What do you like to do in your spare time?
“I hang with friends. I like going to parties and late night, that’s a good time. I play basketball and volleyball. I go to the sporting stuff. Homework takes up a lot of time. And, pull pranks on other people in my dorm building, all the time.”
Do you collect anything?
“I love hats. I guess I collect hats…ish. Not serious about it. Not more than that really.”
How much time do you spend doing things that are not school affiliated?
“Seeing as I don’t spend enough time on my school work as I should, other than sleeping, I’d say about 75% or 80% of my time is spent doing other stuff.”
What does your typical weekend consist of?
“Typical weekend? Let’s see. Weekend starts Friday night. Friday, I usually hang out a little with friends then go to a movie or a party. Then Saturday, I wake up late/sleep in, go out to eat for lunch (sometimes we go out for food but usually to the Atrium or WW), then we usually either go to a sporting thing like a basketball thing or something, then we usually go to late night then a party. Sunday consists of sleeping in, again. And then lunch, maybe, sometimes we have a basketball game, sometimes we don’t. And then homework.”
When do you usually leave campus and for how long?
“Usually don’t go home at all unless it’s like a big holiday thing. Sometimes I go home for a wedding or special occasion.”
Do you often go home on the weekends?
“Negative.”
What kind of music do you listen to?
“Anything but country”

I thought Brad was an excellent interviewer. He had plenty of questions prepared before hand and sometimes, when the occasion would arise, he would ask questions that were not on his sheet because of the answers I would give.
