Days 1 and 2 in Mississippi.

Hey Everyone. I decided to keep a blog of my 6 weeks in Mississippi. It may be boring but, Either way. It will be cool.

So, First day. I flew out of SLC at 8:20 AM, arrived in Dallas around 12:30 local time and sat around until 3:15 and then got on my plane that was about 30 minutes late by now.. Then we sat on the runway still connected to the terminal for about 45 more minutes and then finally flew off.. I arrived in Mississippi around 5:30 PM and took a cab to Keesler Air Force Base.. Cost me about 45 bucks and by me, I mean it cost the military 45 bucks because I don't pay for that kinda stuff :) :) I am pretty sure the lady was taking weird turns and took me down side roads to make my bill higher, I don't know though? Anyways.. Got to my base, went into the onbase lodging and found out they were full, they called me a cab to go stay at the Luxurious Super 8 Motel in D'Ibberville, MS. Before the cab was able to pick me up a Retired General came and offered me a ride, So I said yes and he drove me to my room. He was a very nice old man and him and his wife kept me entertained on the 10 minute drive.
I checked into my room for 6 weeks and went in and unpacked, showered and then went to eat a Waffle House, they have these "Waffle Houses" all over Mississippi, comparable to how many LDS church houses are in Utah.. They are EVERYWHERE. I walked around a bit more and found a pawn shop and a liquor store, that is all there is around my hotel.. BUT, I just barely found out that the huge movie theaters in this town are 2.5 miles away by foot, so I will walk there this weekend to see some movies. I may also buy a cheap bike from Walmart so I can ride places rather then walk (saves time).. Back to the 1st day. I came back to my room and turned on the tv and fell asleep. That is that.

DAY 2...
I woke up at 4:30, called base transportation and they said they'd be here at 5:10.. So, I got dressed and walked to the gas station and got a muffin and then came back and waited for a couple more minutes and went and caught my ride.. I was about 40 minutes early to class So me and a kid who is staying in the hotel across the street from me went to the chow hall and got a little bit of food (he ended up being in my class) After food we went to our school house and found our instructors and class was supposed to start at 6 but one of the other students thought class started at 7 and was way late, so we just chilled until he got there.. After he arrived we took our first break and it was like 25 minutes long, which was rad. . Breaks should only be about 10 - 15 minutes long. So, after break we just went through orientation stuff, introductions and got familiar with some of the stuff we'll be learning. We took a couple more breaks, had some lunch and then learned more.. After class I had a Traffic Safety Briefing (which is for people who drive, I don't drive, so, it was pointless) I then got some food from the store to keep in my room and came back to my room and showered and watched 2 episodes of scrubs, did some homework from class and watched 3 episodes of Family Guy. I am currently on my 4th episode. This place is prety boring. I have a lot to miss at home and I am missing it like crazy. Anyways, Goodnight friends and family. I love you all.
