Lubbock, TX

I can't sleep bc I woke up at 11 this morning and then fell asleep at 4 this afternoon...this is what happens when you don't work. So I found a conversation I had with Fung back in Frebruary about my trip to Texas Tech. By the way, the first thing the cab driver talked to me about in Lubbock was about their Dust Storms that happens. He compared it to the hurricanes we get down on the gulf...I don't know what to say to that!

lil nie 15 (12:00:15 AM)
: sooo that's my morning
lil nie 15 (12:00:19 AM): but at least the interview was good
**Coming back, I got out of my interview early, so I was able to catch earlier flights out of Lubbock and out of Dallas. At least my day ended up much better**

I won't be going back to Lubbock anytime soon.

If you don't know yet, I will be in Galveston this Fall going to OT school!!! YAY =)
