Back... with stories
I had a great time traveling the last few days. I wanted to post some pictures from my time in Texas and also recap some of my trips.
I had two on campus interviews this week, I will never do that again. Universities really run you through the gauntlet for these positions. My interviews started with dinner upon my arrival. The following day about 7 hours of interviewing, both schools had a total of about 25 people meet with me throughout the day. Very nerve racking. So to have two of these in one week was very hard on me. I need to sleep in my bed and relax!
One of my Brothers took this for me, my mom wanted to see a pic of me dressed up. | 
DePaul is right on Lincoln Park in Chicago. Great Location! |
For my interview at DePaul the questions were very hard and they really drilled me about some complex issues and challenged my ideas and I reviewed case studies and past issues on their campus. Had a lot of interesting things happen to me there, as I first set foot on campus with the Director of Student Life... two girls were fighting in front of the Union. It was kinda funny. Then on the interview day, on my way back from a meeting on their downtown campus the train I was on caught fire. My tour guide and I had to evacuate the train and catch a bus back to campus. Crazy...
Right after my last interview I hoped on the road and came home. I barely had time to wash clothes, repack, and put in a few hours at CompuCraft and then fly to Dallas. My trip was the usual, I have grown accustomed to flying (in the past six months I have flown 7 times). SMU was amazing.
SMU has the most beautiful campus. Right in downtown Dallas but so green still. | 
On my tour we went through some of the fraternity and sorority houses... most of them were 2 to 4 million dollar homes... wow. |
Of course I ate a lot of red meat while in Dallas... got to love Texas steaks! | 
Some Dallas area Brothers took me out, they got a limo and everything. |
We went to this sweet club called Blue. Latin upstairs, hip hop downstairs. Very hot club. | 
Fernando does work with promotions... so we did not wait in line, paid no cover... and got VIP treatment. |
Dallas as always was a ton of fun. SMU I think would be the better professional opportunity. I also liked how well they treated me. BMW at the airport, fancy dinners, awesome hotel room and room service... very posh. However, being close to Novali is more important. DePaul should let me know pretty soon what their decision is on their position. Once I hear from them I will go from there.
I am dead tired right now from the trips. Tomorrow (Saturday) I am going to get some work done on the car. Get that stupid seat belt latch finally replaced. I also need to wax the car see about getting a quote on getting my little rust spot that popped fixed. Sunday will be busy, I am running to Kalamazoo again and getting some work done in the office at GVSU, and then heading to the Airport to meet the Mexico gang and give rides to Trailagirl and BlondeAmbition.
