Journal Rudy Rodarte's Journal: Weekend of 24-Oct-2003 2
Good news to kick off the weekend
This Friday was like any other Friday: Tons of work to do and not enough time to do it all. But, there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I knew I was going to the Rockets-Spurs game that night. And the Rockets opened a can on the spurs. I was the first time I had ever seen Yao Ming in person. Priscilla said he looked like a giant little boy. I guess he does have a babyface, unless he is dunking on you.
But, there was an added bonus to the day. I got a call back and I have an interview on 03-Nov-2003. This is the second part of the DLPT IV. As you may know, I took the first one in May. They said it would take about a month to get the results, but in this case, it took 5 months. I guess they were astounded by my answers to part 1 or something.
A trashing and Old friends at BU
My Saturday started just how I like them. I went to yoga class at 08:00. I like going there a lot. I think the heated room helps me push myself farther than I could in a cold room. Plus, I always feel like I just got hit by a truck after class. But, I am more flexible than before and I was pretty flexible to begin with. Either way, yoga has helped me tone up certian areas that i dont normally work out.
After yoga, I went and had breakfast at Luby's. The breakfast buffet is really good! I like going there, but I still perfer the Golden Corral breakfast.
Took a quick shower then hopped over to Fry's. I want to build my own system, since I can recycle a lot of the parts I already have in my current system. Plus, I pretty sure I cannot get a barebones system from the sales people, so I'll see how much it would be to build my own. If its cheaper to buy one, I will. If not, I will build.
Much to my surprise Sam, my Pledge brother, was at the game. Sam is a fighter pilot in the Air Force, so it was good to see him. The last I heard of him, he was flying around George W. in Crawford. Well, he was just divorced in August and he already had another girl with him. It was good to see him move on after Jen. But that is another story for another time
After watching the Bears get thrashed by UT, we went to Georges and had some beers. There were some DRUNK UT people there. It was too funny, but a good time.
Good football and chillin at home
On Sunday, we did our usual. We went to Church and we had lunch at Pok E Joes. Mmmmm. We went to the mall, since I need to purchase a new belt for my interview. I decided to wait and not get it just yet. Also, we went to CompUSA to compare computer part prices. I think I will have to get them Online, since they are cheaper than Fry's. I think it would be cheaper for me to make my own parts than to buy them from CompUSA. When we got home, we watched some football and had a nice dinner at home. The Titans won, but the Texans did not come through this week. Plus Carr is starting to feel the effects of the 1,000,000 NFL tackles he has experienced. Not a good sign. At least Tony Banks is there to lend a hand.
Let's see how the weekend before my vacation pans out. Plus, I'd better send that homecoming stuff too, huh? I'm on it.
