Okay. I just wrote the first sentence and right away I feel like a douche-bag. Why the hell have I been blogging so much about my garden the past few days? Jesus! I need a better hobby.
In other news, I am going out to celebrate a friend's birthday tonight. And in a crazy turn of events, I found out in the last hour of work that I have a high school visit tomorrow in San Antonio. F! Why do I keep giving up my weekends?!?!!?!?!?!?!!
Work afforded me the chance to attend my first NBA game. I was part of a mini college fair hosted by the San Antonio Spurs. It wasn't a very impressive program, but they're in the business of entertainment... not education. I give them an "A" for effort. That "A" was not influence by the hand written thank you note nor the Ginobili bobble head I was give. After fair I joined my colleague from Texas Christian University to watch the game against the Denver Nuggets. While inside we ran into a couple other college reps and we hung out together before the game got started. One of the reps was a reminder why I have a secret "thing" for red-heads. Thank you ma'am!
The game was... pretty good. Spurs lost, though. I have no allegiance to any NBA team. However, while in college I did become somewhat of a Pistons fan. I've been in Texas long enough, and been recruiting San Antonio students long enough that the second NBA team I would support would be the San Antonio Spurs.
So...
Go Spurs Go!
Yesterday was rough. All day knowing I had a flight to catch at 7:25 P.M. resulted in my wanting the day to be over with. I again traveled to one of my high schools on the west side of San Antonio. The drive back to the office was slow. Sure, I was going 5 over the speed limit, but I struggled with keeping my eyes open. This week has been the first where I questioned how much I "love" traveling for work.
Needless to say, by the end of the work day I was grumpy. I had to get back to Austin, return my car rental, get home, pack my bag, and convince one of my roommates to drive me to the airport. As I'm trying to leave I can't locate my camera. I decided rather than get all sorts of pissed off at the world for not finding it, that I should go without it and hope to take pictures with someone else's camera.
I arrived in Nashville late last night and one of the first things my brother asked me was if I had brought my camera. Luckily, he brought his (he had bought the same one) and suggested that I use his while we're here in Tennessee.
I'll be able to provide pictures. It's just a matter of when. Tough luck.
I'm sitting on a wooden bench in Barnes & Noble because all the comfy chairs were taken. I'm at this B&N in San Antonio because earlier today I was visiting a high school recruiting kiddos, and in a few hours I will be presenting to parents (just as I did last night) about the university I work for. It didn't make sence for me to drive back to the office only to turn around 30 minutes later for my evening program.
Although I don' label myself as an avid reader, I still like B&N. I will sometimes browse sections and convince myself it's time for a new book. Plus (with the exception of the bench) I like the seating and ambiance of this place. Conducive for taking in information. It reminded me of the few evening I would hang out at Border's at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco when I was in high school. Good times.
There's also people watching that I enjoy. And... of course... checking out the studious, good looking ladies. The one currently in sights in her green shirt is wearing a "boot", the type one wear when they severely injure their leg. On the other foot, a flip-flop since the weather is still very nice in Texas (*something I like about this overly proud, overly conservative state).
Anyway, I am still on the clock and have work to do. Peace out!
