Tey-has Parto Dos

Ok, so I may have left you all hanging - "Did she make it back? Is she pulled over on the side of the crazy Houston freeway clutching the GPS and rocking back and forth?"

Yep, it's over and done with, thankfully. Texas A&M was a beautiful campus, but very big - especially when you realize that your first appointment is in a building across campus from the one you thought it was in. I definitely had a few of those umbrella-inside-out moments too, as the weather proved that it's still winter in some parts of the country. The tornado watches on the morning news were a bit unsettling.

By the third campus, Texas State, my nice-to-meet-you demeanor was getting harder and harder to keep up, but I kept hiking up and down the campus. It was definitely strange to be eating lunch in a busy student union in a college other than U of A.

On the way home I stopped at the Alamo which is amazingly tucked right in the middle of downtown San Antonio. Sadly I didn't see the King of Hill episode about the Alamo until today, so I had to learn what I could from catching the ends of the tours. I actually liked the gardens the best. Lots of comments on the flip flops in the rain. I thought rain or shine sandals was a total southwest thing!

Now it's back to regular work - I had my first performance review today, that was quite interesting. All went well, it felt kind of like going through an interview all over again, except the secret was out, I had the job.

Now if you excuse me, it's time for guilty pleasure Wendesday... ehem... America's Next Top Model. I hear they're doing the next cycle with girls under 5'7". Hmmm maybe I should go for it? I've figured out that you can't be the mean one, because you'll get kept around just for drama, and you can't have a sob story, because you'll only make a few episodes before Tyra has milked it for all its worth. You can't do too well too quickly and you must learn and over come some random modeling problem they attach to you. So, I know the strategy... I'm ready!
