My First Day in School

I think that the first day is the most important day for anything. It can tell you what the rest of your time is going to be like, sort of like first impressions. That being said, my first day of training was pretty good.

We actually only had class for 30 minutes, which was spent going over an introduction presentation and some information about the city. The rest of the day was spent with administration work. I got to meet the other kids in class and the people who are about to graduate. It was a good day!

I joined the gym, which is about five minutes down the road. The guys told me about it when I asked and also said that most of them head over there after class. I'm still a little weary of that place though. I got some odd looks while I was working out yesterday, but hopefully I was just being paranoid. I can't stop going though because it's nicer than my gym at home! But that might be because it's also about $30 more expensive than the gym back home... hmmm...

When I pulled in after the gym one of the other guys was outside and asked if I wanted to go to the dam. Obviously, since I had nothing else going on, I took the offer. Although, now that I think about it, if I DID have something going on I probably would have gone anyway. HA, I'm a horrible student, but that's fine, it's all about the experience and making new friends. So I got to hang out with some other people and after that we went out to dinner.

We got a little tour of "downtown" after dinner. It's about a block long and it seems the same couple own just about every building there. They must be like the Trumps of Savannah! The place we went for dinner is a little bit of big city in a small town. The food was good I think (but I'm not very picky so who knows) and they had a lot of selection. The only girl here is staying in a loft downtown and we went up to her place for a little tour.

So my first day was great, maybe too great... I met and got to hang out with some of the others in the program, I got to go see some cool places and eat at a nice restaurant and only had a 1/8 doing real work! I need to keep low expectations though, because the others are leaving in a couple weeks... But I guess that just means I get to make other friends.
