Day 1: Catch Up

Alright, so yesterday morning I flew out of Milwaukee around 8 or so in the morning to arrive in LAX around noon. The flight was long (but there were no problems or anything), and we actually arrived about a half hour early.

When I arrived, I met Jennifer (the lady from the college who picked me up) and a girl named Dawn. She's one of the 9 that we are rooming with at Monticlair (the apartment-style complex we are living at). Of the 9 people, she is the only girl.

She lives in Mississippi right near the border and was seriously impacted by Hurricane Katrina. She had a nice home and was transported into a trailer home and has been there for some time now. It seems though as if we have alot in common - including the fact that our fathers are police officers.

Anyways, besides her - I got a cool roomate named Aaron. He's a really nice guy and we get along well too. We went out to Wal-Mart yesterday and grabbed some food, etc to fill our new apartment with and things are going well.

Other than that...there aren't alot of other exciting things. It's a nice group of people we are here with and I'll have many more stories to share about them all in the near future.

The one conclusion we have come to so far is that we all feel like houseguests on Big Brother because of the security system/fences/whole scenario thing that we are in out here, so it's kinda fun and we've had some fun getting creative video taping as if it were true (we were taping Diary Room confessionals yesterday and plan to each day).

I'm sure I'll have more soon (hopefully tonight on Day 2), but until then, have a magical day!
