BtownBanners Meet and Greet

[JSHoosier 19,796]

As long as you enjoy what you're doing, it's no big deal, but if ya don't, 4 years of school is a small price to pay for the next 35 years of heading to work at something you love.

I like what I do when I have work.  My project ended and I've had a difficult time finding work.

 

I forgot to say I did check in at IU before, and while they do have a way to petition for admission despite a bad GPA I didn't meet the qualifications.  It just pains me because that was my dream as a kid.

That's too bad. Hopefully things will start coming together.  What field are you in?

IT.  Recently applied for a full time network tech position at a local university, didn't hear anything for about a week and got in touch with them and was essentially told they'll call if they want an interview or email if they filled the position.

I started coaching my oldest when she was 4 in tee ball, that is more like containing madness. But I have 5 little league seasons and 4 basketball seasons under my belt. There is nothing better than watching your kids compete.

I can't wait until my daughter gets old enough for me to coach her. At only 8 months I have quite a bit of time before I experience that

I remember while my youngest was at the plate saying (out loud) this kid can't hit it is hopeless. Then I looked in the stands and they were speechless, not knowing she was my daughter & I was frustrated with a 6 year old. With that said the cameras are always on boys, the cameras are always on. Have fun you will enjoy the ---- out of it!

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

I know I will. Future LPGA star with daddy on the bag. I'm allowed to consider that my 401k retirement plan right?

Thanks for the advice. I've had an amazing mentor and former coach. He didn't come to coach until my 8th grade bball season. In 7th grade, no joke, we won 5 total games.....! It was bad. With my coach and later mentor, he took our 8th grade team to 4th in state. We added no new players. He was an amazing coach.

My oldest just got the word todayshe made the swim team, my hope is she one day will swim for the all time great IU swim and dive team. But sheis a 5th grader so by winter she may have a new goal or dream. Girls are tricky my friends, give the boys a ball and they are good but girls want sparkles and flip-flops.

LOL. That's awesome she made the team! I honestly think of the women's sports scholarships, Golf is the easiest to get. I had a couple girl friends in college that played golf for IU and Evansville. They normally shot low 80s and if they were really on fire 70s. That's not too difficult to reach with some practice

That's fair I suppose :) I could have sworn they'd be done reviewing the app today... Sooo frustrating. Wish everyone else could experience the love I have for this thing.

You've never been to an IU game?  We will have to change that.  We will be doing a tailgate for next year in football.  We did one this year for the Navy game, it was a blast!!!  I don't know if we will be able to do a basketball game, because it has to be a Saturday game.  We can possibly try though. 

 

No joke, there were four of us (Natural, HoosierReb, UpperArlington[doesn't know we are over here], and myself) snuck in and around Assembly Hall.  The main doors were open to the public, but the gym floor was not.  That didn't stop us (I was the youngest, but the mature one being unsure about it all haha), we went and snuck all around the Hall.  Even made it into a locker room.  It's so much fun!!!
