What a week?!

Well, this has been an exciting, exhausting and short week.  With a three day weekend that was relaxing and uneventful I can actually say going to work on Tuesday wasn't bad!  Well rested and excited for my week to come.  I went to work Tuesday morning only to leave by 2 to catch my flight for my first traveling college recruiting assignment.  It started off interesting as I dazed off driving to the airport (I know, I know - terrible) and missed my exit.  Checked my flight status while driving cause I was running really late (again - I know, terrible).  Noticed my flight was delayed an hour and a half and honestly didn't know why - apparently we were being hit by a tropical storm and I had no idea... lol.  Well, I immediately go into panic mode cause I know my connection has only a 40 min layover based on original flight time.  I get to the airport, they need to redirect me but can't get to my final destination until Wednesday - NOT OK.  I notice on the departures board there is a flight that says delayed and that it's new departure time was in about 15 minutes to my destination - BINGO... I tell the counter employee to check on that flight and who would of thought - got on it - departed at the exact same time my original flight was supposed to leave and everything worked out perfect.  Got into South Bend, IN safe and sound - HELLO NOTRE DAME!  Got settled in and went down to the hotel bar and had a nice conversation with the bartender then called it a night.  Took my own little tour of the Fighting Irish campus - only one word is needed to describe it... BEAUTIFUL!  Saw the main attractions of the campus... The Basilica, the Grotto and Touchdown Jesus.  Went to the career fair(s) and was lucky to see them installing their new jumbotron in the basketball stadium.  After a long day - a beer and dinner was all I needed.  Today's flights were on time and smooth making for a nice end to a very quick trip... then I did it again - dazed out and missed my exit to go home.  GO FIGURE!  And the best part about this week - tomorrow is Friday already!



That's all for this post - will post more this weekend with some thoughts of mine on what is going on in baseball and my cheers and jeers for this week with the Cards.  Until next time...
