One Week Down, Nine to Go.

Vic McCraw(Roommate) and Ray Carr (Counselor)

Well one week down and nine to go. This week has gone by faster than expected. This has also been a learning week for some of us. We finally straightened out our classes due to some that had been canceled or just did not want to take them and swapped with those we wanted or basically was the only thing left in that time block we could take. We are starting to get to know each other and learning each other’s names. Some are still being called by their states name or by their nickname, like “The Godfather”. We have all done our fit test and determined our beginning fitness level. Some are guessing what their ending test results will be. We are settling into groups and starting to meld and network with each other and learn that even though we may be separated by a vast ocean or land mass most of us encounter the same problems. This environment lets us get together and try not to reinvent the wheel but find out if someone else has encountered the same problem and found a way to solve it. I do not know where else you could have access to a vast expanse of knowledge as we have right here. All and all the first week has been an enjoyable one and I really look forward to the next nine. Before we know it will be almost over and be walking across the stage graduating.
