Just a Quick Update

I haven't posted in a while, so I decided I would give everyone a quick update. I officially started work this week and I am loving it so far. We had our first staff meeting on Tuesday and then the students reported on Wednesday for some basic orientation. Wednesday night we had a staff dinner in Fayette (which is about 30-45 minutes away). My boss Rex surprised us all and rented two limos to take us there. We had a black Hummer and a white Chrysler 300. Both were VERY nice. Below is a picture of a bunch of us in the Hummer. Football started yesterday, but I am not working that. I am sad, but they have already decided to move practice from 8:15 to 7:15 on Monday-Wednesday becuase the temperatures are so high and we are in a heat advisory. So I won't miss opening the training room at 5 and will appreciate the cold gym. Volleyball starts on Tuesday with a meeting & physicals and then we start 2-a-days on Wednesday. We have 2-a-days every day until the 20th with Sundays off. Thankfully I have Stephanie as my student athletic trainer! :) She has worked with volleyball the past 2 years and basically knows how to run the show. She will also double as my "interpreter". We have 2 assistant coaches who are Chinese and 3 players. I have already been warned that I will not be able to understand them and they will never understand my Texas accent. In the meantime I am trying to enjoy my last few days of freedom!
