"Here!"

Oh, don't think I went and forgot about my blog. Sure, it may have been a few weeks since my last post but I have not, will not throw in the towel.

Grad school: I've chosen to postpone that plan until Fall of 2010. I say, "I've chosen," but really life has chosen this path for me. A huge challenge I face is finances, and frankly, the grad assistant positions I was banking on that would cover my tuition costs hadn't really worked out as I had planned. And so, I now focus on preparing myself for next year. Part of that now includes studying for and actually taking the GRE. That part does kinda suck. I say this not because I assume it will, I say it with the confidence knowing all my friends who have taken it say "It sucked!" So there you have it.

Work: Continues to kick my arse. (Mind you, I LOVE my job.) Working with high schools staffs presents it's "special" challenges. This problem is intensified when trying to coordinate with multiple high schools. Other projects include preparing for summer camps and programs, in addition to being responsible for numbers in my territory. And, like every Tuesday, I spent all morning reading file after file, admitting and denying students to college. I did work with a woman today who I was sure was going to have a fit about classes not transferring, but I was able to put her tensions at ease. So it worked out... well, for me.

Social life: Softball game tomorrow. Go Underdawgs! I'm crappy, but I sure enjoy it anyway. That is, I can be a great outfielder at times, but I stink at bat. In other areas, I hollered at this one breezy at the bar (with some help). Got the digits, hollered via text, no response. Fail. Although I was informed text messaging was not the appropriate approach. Two varying opinions from two girls on that approach. Oh well. Lastly, in 9 days I will be in Mexico! Hurray vacation! Plus I'm working out summer time-off to attend weddings, and spend time with family.

And that's that. Well?

Softballs to the walls

The excitement of my day happened after 5pm. Prior to 5pm I drove to one of my high schools in San Antonio with our office intern. (not that kinda intern). Essentially, from 9:30am - 4:00pm I was out of the office. Recruiting is always fun, but to the reader, maybe not so interesting.

















@ 5:30 the Office of Undergraduate Admissions played the University Ambassadors in the annual BOWLing competition. It's a fun meet and greet for our staff and our student volunteer organization. Although, there was little meeting and greeting. Just fierce bowling madness. The scores are yet to be tallied. However Admissions is looking to hold on to current title as the 2007 competition's champions.

Frankly I stunk. Bad. I did break a hundred on both games I played in, but it was clearly not my "A" game. Luckily, this doesn't move me down to the B Squad.

I did a ton of video taping and took plenty of photos, which I will post in some form or another. It is currently after 2am, and I have to be up in less than 4 hours. So, I wont go into to much detail. You'll just have to wait until I post the media later on this week.

After bowling, the softball team I play on, the Under Dawgs, had two games. We played at 9 & 10pm tonight. It was rough. Mostly, because I lack skills in softball. I really don't like baseball at all. Softball barely makes the list of sports I consider playing in the first place. My defense is mediocre at best. My offense could use some improvement, but I was satisfied with my attempts tonight. Having a background in high school football, I'm used to sacrificing my body to make a play. That is a quality that carried over into softball. I'm proud to display this week's battle scar.

On that note.
I am off to bed.
