...and not a moment too soon

So today I thought my Mom and my sister were going to come up and see me, I was wrong. It was even better everyone came...well them and my Dad, which makes everyone. It was great to see all three of them this weekend. I have been bored out of my mind lately and they were a good refersher for me. Now we didn't do much but we hung out together and that was great. It's funny cause I couldn't wait to leave Albuquerque a month ago. I wanted to get away and see if I could make it but I also was tired of living at home. No offense to my parents because they were great this last year, but it was different going from living at SAE for 3 and a half years to moving back home at 22yrs old. They never pushed me or hassled me but I needed my own space. Now that I have it I couldn't wait to see them and be around them. Don't get me wrong I'm glad I'm out on my own but I needed to see them and they came...not a moment too soon. I was able to recharge my batteries and now I only have a month till I go home for my birthday.
So for now, I'm out, I have a job fair to attend tomorrow and a huge test on Tuesday...woo hoo go Finance!

It's a little blurry cause I took it with my phone. But it's me and Bigelow at graduation 

Tyler, Preston, Jeremy, and me before I left for Texas 

The Rathskeller

So today I didn't have much to do, like always, so I decided to go to campus a few hours before my class to check stuff out. I found a nice place I could get on the internet and check out the girls that were passing by at the same time. As I began to do some of the reading for my upcoming class I was amazed by the amount of beer signs and lights that were in my view. So I decided to ask somebody about the area I was in. Apparently The University of Dallas has a BAR on CAMPUS! Ya, I was just as shocked as you. The guy said that if I were to come back after my class there would be a bunch of people there for TGIT (thank god it's thursday) ya it's pretty cleaver uh?
So considering that I didn't have anything worth while to do until 8am Saturday morning, I decided to stop by after class. Holy crap they have a bar on campus! And I know I've talked about the lack of little cute blonde girls in Texas, well that problem has been fixed, they are apparently everywhere. This place was crawling with them. Did I mention this campus has a bar?
I got my beer and watched a pretty good guitar player do covers like everyone else. The interesting part was that I was in the cool place to be on a Thursday night and I didn't know a soul there. I could have pretty much been the guy that stood infront of me the whole time. You know the guy...dorky kid, glasses, khaki pants that have wrinkled pockets, wearing the white on white tennis shoes (basically freshman greg, sorry buddy). At first I thought well this is pretty shitty, but then I figured hey nobody knows me...pretty cool. I watched this guy...did I mention this campus has a bar?...play his music, but mostly looked at all of the hot Texas girls that were parading around like it was New Years Day and they were covered in roses. I think I may have found a new spot to hang out, at least on Thursday nights. No I didn't meet anyone or really socialize, it's kinda hard when you don't know anyone...but I will.
So tonight I hung out at the Rathskeller, and it was pretty neato.

Grettings from Texas

Well I've been here 6 days now and all is well. I've had three job interviews up to this point and all of them have asked me back for a second interview. I have one 'second' interview left and the position seems to be what I want. So Monday morning I need to be ready to earn my spot at the company I want to be a part of.
These six days have given me the chance to realize and discover a few things here in Texas. One of the more obvious things and probably my first observation of my new living quarters, was that I live directly under a flight path. I live approx. a half mile from DFW airport and from my observations their landing strip is in line with my apartment. At first it was really annoying and bugged the hell out of me, then I went outside on my balcony to check it out and it was amazing. At around 7:00pm if you go out and look in the opposite direction you can see the light of as many as 12 planes in the air waiting to land. When they do make their approach it is awesome, they come with about 200 feet of the roof of my building...so close you can read the logos on the planes. I don't know why but I think it is really cool now. Another observation is that I haven't found nearly as many beautiful little blonde girls as I had imagined, but then again I haven't really been in any "younger" areas of the Dallas area yet...so stay tuned on that topic for now. The crapiest (is that how you spell it?) observation I have made so far is that the water here SUCKS. I went without water for the first 3 days here (I now have 5 gallons from the store in my fridge) and apparently that was a very poor decision. I went to the gym yesterday for my first time back to the gym in maybe 6 months and had a trainer session. Good thing I had a trainer with me becuase I started getting dizzy and seeing stars...apparently I was dehydrated. So I'm going back tomorrow and have been drinking water like a champ.
I'll leave you with one of the funny things I've heard on the radio (there have been quite a few funny things). A helicopter traffic guy was giving the traffic report and said "We've got a three car insurance seminar down there".

Peace out...Ya'll!
