I made it to southern Cali
I am very tired right now. I am looking at the clock on my computer and it is telling me it is 8:30, although the clock in my hotel is screaming 5:30 at me. the time difference isn’t really all that much, but the combination of no sleep sunday and traveling all day with the mental exaustion of new place/new things is making me feel like I should either be asleep or jumping up and down. I am that confused. 
My flights on sunday were fairly uneventful. tried to sleep and did get some hrs in so that was sweet. Landed in Santa Ana and was almost immediately greeted by a phone call from megan and melissa, talk about good timing. from there i found my rental car (talk about a rip-off) and managed to not find my way to my hotel. one phone call later i had better directions and made it, yay! I didn’t feel like doing anything at first, but after relaxing a bit and getting the dirty feel of flying off of me, i felt up to a little exploring and drove down to the shore, about 30 mins drive maybe? I found this cool place, crystal cove state park, or something like that. It was a nice beach, you can see once i post my pics (decided not to bring the cameras usb cable so that won’t happen till sat)
Today was first day of my training classes. It is pretty cool. I feel kinda alone, most other people are in groups from their respective places, and i have no idea what i am gonna do for dinner tonight. its no fun going out to eat if you are the only one! I might have to but some of the other people tomrrow and see if i can crash their dinner plans. i ducked out of the training today a little earlier than most of the others, which i realized was dumb as i drove back to my hotel, since it meant i couldn’t do that bugging today!
Anywho, temp was in the 60s the other day, and nice and sunny. not a whole lot warmer than the weather has been in PA, but still its more awesome!
Oh, and driving here is diff, roads much bigger, for example 7+ lanes going each way, but still the traffic seems almost nicer than pa… odd.

Oh Dah I hope you find some fun people to hand out with and go out to dinner with…but if not I’m still sure you will enjoy the beach and the 7 lane traffic and such. It’s gray and raining here today:(
