Problem: The actual day was rainy and glum and fell on a Wednesday , when I have class from 3:00 - 10:00 - yuck . But my older sister , Paige , flew out for what turned out to be quite the weekend . As it just so happened , our roommates Jess and Evan moved out on the Saturday after her arrival on Friday night . The Saturday that they moved , I had a really fun birthday dinner with a bunch of the usual suspects at a restaurant in my new neighborhood , Williamsburg , Brooklyn .

Problem: I made the mistake , however , of telling Dad about it . There was no turning back after that . When I talked about backing out of it , he would just say , " Hey , it 's up to you , " but with a deliberate look that said , " Failure is part of success . Do n't give up . " I knew that I would be letting him down if I did n't try , and the thought of disappointing him was unbearable to me .

What does the father 's look tell the narrator ?

A: That he does n't want her to turn back .

Problem: It 's not really a formal thing , just a bunch of musicians who get together and sing when there 's some kind of event at work . We got to sing at the beginning and end of the ceremony . We sang the national anthem ( a capella in four part harmony ) at the beginning and the Air Force song at the end . I got to stand three people away from Hillary Clinton :) At the end , when we walked out of the room , we kind of got in the way of the secret service .

What may have happened after they were in the way of the secret service ?

A:
They may have asked them to move .
