In visiting the class this was my first time to try to navigate the Arizona State campus and so I drove to the business building and looked for free parking working my way back south toward the Foundation office. I came from Palmcroft (basically 21st street), all the way to 13th and started zig-zagging around past no parking and "only 1 resident pass holders can park here" signs until I reached 20th street and parked legally near an elementary school 30 feet from the stop sign because any closer was not legal. I got out and walked to campus, making it to Dr. Mokwa's office only 3 minutes late. Well, when I got back to my car, I got this note on my windshield:
I almost knocked on their door to ask for some sugar, but decided to leave so I could catch the rest of the terrible Presidential debate with Katie and Gary Ringler. At least they were polite - "please" and "thanks."
The rest of this week I have run with Gracie, watched some baseball, swam, finished my work plan and met with the Executive Director (Marie Tillman) and Director of Development (Shawn Jones) to finalize my work plan for my project. This was a good meeting and now I am on my way. I also went to a social event last night for the Tillman Mentors - it was nice, small, and way out northeast of here. Now I'm in the office, where the AC is on and off and as that goes so goes my sweating.
I've also found a place to live - in an apartment complex with this 38-year old Intel/Real Estate nerd (not in a bad way) with braces named Stephen for $475 a month, all utilities included and the complex has pools and hot tubs and a work out room. It is right down the street from where I was house sitting, a nice location, with a Whole Foods and $3.17 gas right around the corner.
So things are looking up and below are some photos of my trip across Texas to Tempe for you to enjoy:
