The Strategizer!

Okay so I know it's been awhile, yet again, since I've blogged but it's not because I didn't want to. I'm actually collecting a list of things I'd like to mention in my blog because I started taking the bus to school and trust me, it's been VERY interesting.

I'm working on a portfolio at the moment that includes steps to being successful in my career choice and it's actually a really fun project that I'm enjoying to it's fullest.

One of the assignments for doing it is to get an interview with someone in your field (mine is Forensic Pathology). So I did some research, which btw, the salary in my field for entry level is somewhere in the vicinity of 120k a year. WOOT! But most of the info was coming off of one website that I found to be really informative. It even had some pictures in it! I did some further digging and found that the doctor whose website it was is IN Houston! Not only that, he's worked in Chicago, IL which is my hometown!!

So now, not only is this guy just cool, he's uber cool because he's touched the soil of Chi-town ;) and has reached celebrity status in my eyes.

I wrote him and asked for the interview and told him I'm looking for mentors in my field and he emailed me back the next day and said yes :D...I'm in hog heaven (as they say in Tx).

But I digress and I shall tell you of my bus-capades.

The first one was probably the most interactive and odd. I've told one or two of you about him. He rode the bus with me most of the route (about an hour) and just before my stop, he looks across at me and says, "You have really beautiful feet". WHAT?!

I said, "I have beautiful feet!?" he winks and nods like this is the best compliment I've gotten all day. "Okay" I said. As I turn away, he says "and beautiful hair" I say.."okay" again and he says, "I'll shut up now"...I respond with "Okay!" again. lol.

The most interesting lady I've seen is the "Bird Lady" as I refer to her. She looks like a bird. Her hair looks like a bird's nest and she smells like bird poop =/ but ...she carries this little messenger bag, like the newspaper carriers have..and I swear to GOD she had a pigeon in it!! It friggin coo'ed at me! On top of that..I think she has tourettes rofl....

okay I have to take my friend Mel to the doctor today so I'll blog more later. Ta-ta for now.
