Day two

So there is no way I could post only once a week on here because way too much happens in one day. Or at least I feel that way now because everything that is happening is brand new. So here is my day two:

 I 'shadowed' or basically followed around one of the area coordinators today. She thankfully started the day at Starbucks and bought me a coffee. Next we went to Walmart, which is where people with the thickest accents live apparently. Then off to TSU's central offices. I met their residence life department, which is WAY smaller than WSU's, and got my Texan Card (equivalent of a cougar card). I got to eat texmex for dinner, which is what they call mexican food in Texas apparently. I also drank a lot of sweet tea and had my first snow cone! They have three entire stands dedicated to selling just snowcones (example pics above), yet not a single coffee stand... don't know how I feel about this...  a lot happened in between, but I won't bore you with the details. Here are  the basics:

Things I learned today:

• Texmex = Mexican food in texas
• Walking on the grass on campus = NOT okay
• Everyone swipes their card... I mean everyone to get into a building. They call it 'No tail gaiting'. So even if I am with 3 girls from my hall and one swipes in the other two of us still have to too... even though the door is already open... 
• Texas boys are ridiculously attractive... and the accent only helps :)

New lingo (sure I'll be saying these by the end of the summer):

• "He/She is good people"
• "He/She is older than Jesus"
• "Yall", "Ma'am", etc.
