So for about two weeks I've been back in the US of A. I've been working by day as a substitute teacher and by night I AM BATMAN! Um... sorry. As I was saying, I am working almost everyday because there is a shortage of substitutes. It's a little strange working at the schools where I went to middle school and high school. I've seen some of my old teachers and my mom also works at the schools.
I've taken lots of pictures and put them in an album called Austin. Check out my travel photos link. I took some pictures of some murals on the old Tower Records building. The CD shop closed down and now some of the murals are covered with graffiti. It's sad. I liked that place. Austin has a lot of unique stores and live music clubs and bars. Every year more of them seem to go out of business.
I also went to the Arboretum and took pictures of the marble cow statues there. And a girl in Amy's Ice Cream showed off by tossing ice cream and catching it in a scooper.
It's a nice time of year to be in Texas. The trees are green. The weather is a little cool. It's Spring.
My brother came down from UT Dallas to visit me last weekend. Sam, our friend, brought him. He's like another brother to me. We saw a Dr. Seuss art exhibit http://www.arton5th.com
This weekend I went back to visit my alma mater, Baylor University. The Baylor Bears Lady backetball team won the national championship! The whole campus seemed to still be happy about that. I actually met Sofia Young, the Championship Game MVP. She was at the concert/crush event. One of my friends knows her and invited her to come. I worked and lived at Brooks Residence Hall when I was in college. I went back to see a student concert at Brooks. It was for Mission Waco, a really good charity that helps the homeless. It was an awesome show by Ethan Durelle. Check them out at http://www.ethandurelle.net They are hoping to tour in Asia in the future, hopefully Japan. Maybe I can convince them to go to Thailand.
I really enjoyed seeing all my college buddies. I hope I can make another trip up to Waco soon. Well I'm being told to go to sleep by my mom. Good night!
