Conference Call

So I had a conference call from Belize the other day and I was taken back by a few things. I couldn't understand the lady (my future boss) on the other side of the line due to her thick Caribbean accent, she was on speaker phone, and we were the two only people on the call. I thought conference calls involved more than two people? I guess that's how they do it down in Belize. I also wasn't expecting the questions she asked. The email informing me of the call said that it would be an info session and they would answer any questions we had. Well there was very little info given and she couldn't really answer any of my questions. The call consisted of her interviewing me.

I left Chicago this past weekend. My buddies threw a party that consisted of keg stands, daring people to take their shirt off, and yelling: YOU BETTER BELIZE IT!!!!!! I had a great time for the three months that I was in Chi city. A couple memorable things: Moe's bottle service, Kenny Chesney Concert, working for Ralph Lauren again, living with fraternity brothers, Taste of Chicago, and the art museum. All in all Chicago is an awesome city, but its a bit expensive and from what I hear the winter is miserable. Despite the amount of friends in the city, I don't think its for me.

34 days until I leave.
