I am embarrassed to say that I am yet to interview any of the possible people that I wanted to interview. All of the people that I have tried to interview have either been too busy to answer me back, don't answer their emails, or have openings in their schedules only after Spring Break. This interview process has gone from decent to bad to even worse. I have a couple appointments scheduled for later tonight with non-athletic students, but I will have a Hispanic student’s perspective on stereotypes by tonight if everything finally goes according to plan.
My plan was to interview a couple of Florida State University student athletes and get their perspectives on the norm stereotypes of student athletes as portrayed by media and how they are affected by it. I have emailed a couple of student athletes regarding the interview process but most have not replied, but I am still hopeful. I have received a reply from a member of the swim team, but he informed me that he is no longer part of the team.
All of these negative issues which I have had to address are just detours along the path to a hopefully, well written essay. I have other alternatives for Spring Break because I will be going back home to Miami and I am pleased to say that I have former high school friends who have full athletic scholarships for both the University of Miami and Florida International University that I hope to interview.
However, I will soon I interview Steve Badoya a Hispanic freshman student here at Florida State University. This interview will mostly not cover the athletic perspective of my report, but I am sure his perspective on Hispanic stereotypes will be a great attribute to my paper.
Another interview that I have planned out for tonight is my roommate Dustin Pillow. I believe that Dustin’s perspective will help me with my point that college student are not all in the mind set of partying and having scholarly activities as a second priority. His Anglo angle of looking at the Hispanic stereotypes will also be very interesting to incorporate in my research.

I know just how you feel! It seems like everything is too hectic these days to fit in even .more. homework outside of studying, writing essays, and researching! XP But I think the interviews will be worth it when they’re done because they will add a personal touch to the research rather than just being hard facts and concepts. They can give you great quotes and make you feel stronger or be more interested in your topic. I’ve had a hard time as well, but things will calm down next week and that’s when I’ll be able to get my interviews in.
