6am Cedar 7 left for Memphis! We drove 10 hours because that is the limit for us to drive. Packed in the van like sardines we ventured off. The drive wasn't so bad. With a ridiculously goofy team like cedar 7 there are not so many bad times. I slept for the first 4 hours. Then we would make fun of each other, play the movie game, punch each other occasionally when we saw a licence plate from a different state, and tell stories.
We arrived in Memphis around 5pm. There were also 5 other NCCC teams staying at the same hotel as us which was fun. My BFF Rob was there so I was happy. We changed and ventured to Beale street which is a crazy busy "main" street in Memphis with loads of history and drinking going on. We ate at a restaurant where they had live music which was fun. We all either had BBQ or Gator Gumbo.
After we dropped off the people who didn't want to stay out and then some of us went back to Beale street for some fun. We listen to lots of live music and then sang some karaoke which is a favorite for NCCC members. Patrick, Rob, and I sang Lindsay Lohan's, "rumors". It was hilarious and embarrassing. My friends here are great. Griff and I have the same birthday and we'll be in transit for it, stopping in Memphis again. Should be a fun 24th birthday!
Today we arrived in our living quarters in Lake Charles Louisiana. We live in a church which is a little uncomfortable for me but I think I'll adjust. ALL 10 OF US sleep in the same room. We have military cots and we brought sheets and sleeping bags. This should be interesting. The best part about it here is that it's 60 degrees and it's night time! We are VERY excited about this.
I am still home sick but it's getting better. We have things to look forward to. I get to come home for Oliver's christening! My friend Tim from Rutgers is going to Tulane grad school in New Orleans so he invited Shannon, Steph, and I down there the weekend of the 30th to stay with him and show us around. I cannot WAIT for that!
Orientation is tomorrow...hope it goes well! Miss everyone alot. Cheers.
