Bad day!

Well, it's Friday at the end of week 2. For me, it's been both a good and bad week, but I'll get to the bad part later. The good part is that I got two clinics to verbally agree to sign up! I'm meeting with both of them next week to go over paperwork stuff so we can get that sent in. I've also had one other clinic in La Grange agree to pitch it to her COO and see if she can't get involved. Things seem like they're really moving now! I've got several calls and a couple visits lined up for next week, and I'm real excited about meeting more people.



I had forgotten to get a picture with Big Tex at the first clinic, but I'll snap one on Monday when I go back. At the second clinic, Mrs. Hopkins was not real sure she wanted her picture posted all over the internet, but I talked her into it! She was real nice and excited about getting involved. She also gave me another contact in Austin which I'm looking forward to calling on.


On to the bad part of the week:
On Tuesday, I had just an all-around bad day. The saying goes, "When it rains, it pours," and it definitely held true. The worst part was that I left my sister's apartment to walk to campus and find my workspace in the morning, and I left my keys and wallet in the apartment. I didn't realize this until I was walking back for lunch around 1 p.m. I called her and she was at work. She works at a sandwhich shop and she couldn't get off to come let me in until about 2:30. I had a meeting with Mrs. Hopkins (pictured above) scheduled at 3 p.m., and Mary works about 20 min. away. So, she told me to take a bus up near where she works and I'd pick up her keys. I trooped all the way across campus to the bus stop and waited about 20 minutes for the right bus. I didn't realize until my bus arrived that these buses aren't free like the buses at A&M -- and I had left my wallet inside too! Frustrated, I called her back and told her what happened. I told her not to get off work, I'll just figure it out. I called Mrs. Hopkins and rescheduled the meeting (I told her I couldn't get my car started --which was true!) and worked the rest of the afternoon lunchless until Mary brought me food at 4 p.m. It really isn't that big of a deal, but it sure put a damper on my day. Fortunately, I haven't had any other bad days this week!

In other news: I saw an albino squirrel chasing another squirrel around yesterday -- it was crazy!

Also, I hear Brian also didn't have a real fun day on Tuesday either. Lets see if we can get him to tell his story!
