I'm Here!

So I have arrived in the "Mile High City" a.k.a Denver, Co. I was up at 4 this morning and left the Springfield airport at 7am and making my connecting flight in Chicago. I arrived in Denver at 10am and waited in the airport for about 45 min. When we got to base we got our keys and room. A bunch of us that I met when I got here went to eat lunch in the cafeteria on campus. The food is not bad, your basic cafeteria food. But they do have vegetarian chooses which is nice. After lunch I cam back to my room and filled out some paper work and did a room inspection. The room inspection is a list of everything in your room and you have to mark whether it is in good shape or not. Then Michelle, someone i meet at the airport, went together to turn in our forms and get our photos taken for our ids. My question is why did they have to do them on the day when we have be traveling?

When I got back my room mate had arrived! Her name is Melanie and she is from Erie PA. I like her and she has a good personality. We spent the next hour or so unpacking and getting our room set up. Then a bunch or us went to dinner and hung out up on this hill that looks out over the mountains before we went to our first unit meeting. I am in the Water Unit. There is also Fire, Earth and Sun. The views here are amazing and I'm meeting a lot of great people. So fare things are going good, but i let you know if i still feel that way in a few days haha. I'm off to bed soon because it's been a long day and I have to get up early to be at our first meeting at 8am, uhg!
