Week One

Week one on the road is over. It was actually a very short week and a trip to pretty familiar territory. I went to the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio where we have a colony of 15 guys.

I learned a few things this week. The first thing is that if every week is going to be like to be like this, I am going to be pretty tired when I am done with this. I have been so exhausted from working this week that I just want to see my bed for at least 12 hours. It has been a lot of fun though. It is really nice to visit a group of guys that are looking forward to any help that you can offer.

I will write more when I am not so tired, but for now I am going to bed in my own bed here in Indianapolis for the last time until November.
