Meetings in SLO

What a fun day. I woke up this morning to start working from home, then took a shower and cut my bangs (yea...smart move to do a cut right before a meeting eh? lol), and headed out to meet up with Donna at 11am. I ran into Dan on the way across campus which was nice as always. I arrived at my destination after getting a little lost and she came out to greet me in a comfy pair of pants and over sized sweater. Hehe I thought it was great that she could come to work in whatever she wanted. We took a walk to campus market to get some drinks and chat, and sat down in the shade on the way back to the office. It was a really pleasant time. I feel like if I had been at the interview (instead of over the phone), I would have totally been in the Ambassador program. But this meeting, which I had no expectations (or ideas on why it was happening really in the first place) turn out to open a few more doors for me. Donna asked me to get involved in different ways and that we'd brainstorm a few ways in the mean time...a position that I wouldn't have to interview for, as she said.

After that I stopped by the CSC office to meet with Cindy and Diane for banquet and coop questions to be taken care of. Then it was on to grabbing a bean and rice burrito and heading up to the SDL to do some work. I ran into a lot of people including Bobby who decided to join me upstairs. I was so tired though, so through all the noise in the room, I was able to take a half hour nap until Kendra called me. We talked for a few minutes and then she came up to join me in the SDL where we talked and laughed at a lot of things. Russell called me and he came up to join us too around the time that Bobby took off for class. Russ was looking a bit gloomy...I hope he's alright. And I was still half asleep, out of words, talking slow, and talking gibberish. Kendra just laughed at me. Then Paul met us upstairs and we all headed out...Kendra downstairs and the rest of us to the IEEE room where I finally got to meet Davidson from Google. We met up with the IEEE guys and went to chat outside on Dexter Lawn. I had thought that Davidson was cool and easy to work with over email...he is way cooler in person. I was very impressed with him and Google.

After the meeting Russell and I grabbed some grub up at the Avenue. I can't wait until everyone starts moving up to the bay for their coops and internships. I hung out in the SWE office for some down time to unwind after such a high energy day, then met up with Tyler for some on campus food with Cameron. We ran into Danielle on the way and detoured to take a look at the architecture projects. Then we met up with Cameron and Steven at Garden Grille and ate some more grub (not me cause I already ate), and told stories before heading out. Oh yea, Danielle also cough/laughed and spilled her water all over herself. That was the highlight of the evening lol.

Then it was off to pick up some apples from the market and go over to Tyler's house to make some apple crisp. I had a small change of plans and met Kendra at my house after the market instead. We talked about life and boys and took a look at dresses to wear for the banquet on Friday. Good thing I was indecisive and brought quite a few of them back with me from San Jose! So after talking to Kendra, and then chatting with Andrew, I headed back over to Tyler's to watch Bend it Like Beckham with Erica and bake apple crisp with Tyler. What a fun evening! What a fun day!
