Week two

Well it's Wednesday of week two and we just finished our first challenge run...the Tin Man Trot.  Not sure why it is called that other than maybe it's our first and there may have been a lot of people running a little stiff this morning.  Not to mention that it was 15 degrees!!!!

Our first week went kind of the way I expected...total confusion.  Not on the part of the NA staff, just the 269 people (from 49 states and 27 foreign Countries) that filtered in over a two day period that first weekend trying to find their way around.  This place is like a maze, just trying to figure out how to get back and forth to the pool took about 3 days.  I still haven't exactly figured how the classrooms are laid out on floor two of building something-or-another.  Couple more days and I should be good though.

I don't think I could have asked for a better roommate; Tom D'Intino, Chief from Sea Isle City, New Jersey.  Obviously, that was one of the major worries coming here is you have no idea who you will be roomed with.  I think it worked out though.  I have overheard a few things here and there about snoring roommates but I believe overall everyone is fairly satisfied with the way things turned out.

The dorm rooms are pretty decent; kind of small, but overall not bad.  A lot of that also depends on the way you set up the room.  There are many different ways they can be set up; just walk the halls when you get here and you can see the different arrangements.  Which leads to another topic...suitemates.  Two rooms are connected with the bathroom in the middle so you have 4 guys (or girls) sharing one bathroom.  Our suitemates are great guys too; Jud from Alabama and Ralph from LA County.  Took us about a day to work out an arrangement on shower times and the rest has just fallen into place.

Upon arrival we were divided into sections; shout out to Section 4!!!  On the first Sunday evening we all met for the first time in our prospective homerooms.  Over the next couple days we met a few more times trying to get everything set up for our Session.  I happen to be the photogrpaher for Section 4.  We have several other areas that needed a rep; shirts, jewelry, social/athletic events, auction, yearbook, and I know there are a couple other areas that I am forgetting.

Anyway...it's about time to go eat lunch.  Till next time....Be Safe!
