NSHMBA

I made it back from Houston tired, but in one piece. Of course, I didn't take as many pictures as I should have, and it's tough to describe the atmosphere at the Career Expo. Imagine hundreds of students walking around with resumes, talking to company after company in hopes of getting a job. There were over a hundred companies from all industries (CPGs, tech, consulting, etc), and giveaways everywhere. Some not so good things I saw? A poor girl, who when asked what her favorite General Mills brand was, answered something NOT made by General Mills. When the corporate rep busted her on it, the girl turned bright red. Then there was the guy who tried to challenge the CIA rep by asking if the internship was focused on "training or development?" When the CIA rep tried to get the kid to establish the difference between the two, there was a lot of flustered ums and wells.

Possibly the craziest thing I saw at the Expo, the giant Waste Management garbage truck. Nathalie and Marlene's suggested tag line for the company? "Come dump your resume here!"

On Thursday, our grand dinner plan was to go to Pappasito's located at 1510 Polk St, where we were going to meet Xavi and some other Michigan people. After walking about 10 blocks in the steamy Houston evening, we arrived at 1510 Polk, home of the Toyota Center, NOT a restaurant. Of course, Xavi's cellphone had died, so we never met up with him. After lots of walking we ate at some random pub. Good food, but not Mexican! We finally found a Pappasito's at the airport. This picture is courtesy of the random drunk guy we found at the Food Court. "What does that mean?"
