Grad School And Great Friends

Sooo... I went to grad school orientation last Friday! Overall it was a positive experience. One drawback was that the campus was ALOT bigger than I anticipated. For those of you that know me, you know that I am directionally challenged and therefore easily flustered at the daunting task of having to find my way around an unfamiliar place (despite having already been there once before). It was back in 1999 and I was there for a high school jazz band competition; but of course I remember nothing from my visit 10 years ago. I met up with a high school friend and alumni of the school and THANK GOD he was there to help me navigate because I would have been up the creek if he hadn't been. The campus was an amalgamation of UNT and UT; it sprawled like UT does, and it had a "College Inn" and loads of squirrels like UNT. :-) The orientation was good and I walked away feeling quite positive, mostly because I seemed to be ahead of the game compared to the rest of the students in attendance regarding applying for admission, financial aid, etc... :-)

After orientation was over I decided to drive to San Antonio to see my high school ♥ BFF ♥ Jennifer and her husband Jason. GOOD CHOICE! I was really stoked because it only took me about 45 minutes to get from campus to their house. We hung out in the hot-tub, sipped margaritas, and talked about all kinds of stuff and cracked dirty jokes like we always do. I love them so much... I spent the night there and drove to work from their house this morning. It was a good way to start the day and the weekend. ♥

Love and Peace.
