Well, lets see...I guess first I should say why im here.  EKU sent me here this week for training on a new system we...well, me...will be implementing and administrating later in the year.  It is an 8 month project.

Anywho...


Monday

I flew out of daVille on Monday morn at 7am...argh...that effin hurt!  Lay over was in Chicago.  Now here is the first interesting thing to happen: They needed more seats for my flight to Salt Lake City.  The arirline, United, offered a free round trip ticket within the USA if you gave your seat up and took a later flight.  I did and set there for all together 4 hrs in the Chicago airport.  Wasn't bad...ate McDonalds, had Starbucks and read on a book during that time.  Plus the later flight I had an awesome seat!  Oh yeah!

Got to Salt Lake City at about 4pm...took cab to hotel which was the Marriott downtown (nice).  Got all checked in and went walking around looking for where I had class the next day.  Didn't find it but did see the huge outside mall, The Gateway.  The cab driver from the airport kept saying that the best food was at the Marriott so I ate in its' restaurant Monday evening and the steak was effin awesome!!!!

Tuesday

Got up early and headed out to find where the class was and wouldn't you know...it was at that big outside mall...haha.  Speaking of this mall.  It has 144 stores!  Two stories and goes for blocks.  These aren't outlet mall shops either...nice as stores.  Anyway, I stayed late after class in the lab to work on some of the software then went back to the hotel.  Hey, that made a song pop into my noggin "Back to da hotel...".  Got a pizza from the hotel...got a couple drinks at the bar and watched basketball then went to bed.  Time change made me tired.

Wednesday

Got up and went to class.  Stopped to get a coffee before leaving the hotel.  Took my camera and tried to take pics on the way to class (its a 15 min walk) but the batteries were dead...great...argh!  Class till lunch time and at lunch I went to Dicks to get batteries.  After class I just started walking around for hours looking and taking some pics.  It was fun.  Stopped and got some Wendys.  The weirdest thing was a park I went to.  It was being working on but you could still go through it.  Mainly the sidewalk was being worked on.  Anyways, the weird thing was the park was full of homeless people just sleeping under trees or just anywhere.  I felt a little weird and bad.  Other than that I stopped into a few little stores downtown like a weird crafts place and a huge  Old, New and Rare Books store.  I spent a lot of time at that book store.  Plan to go back.  Finally after several hours of walking around my feet hurt.  I went back to the hotel and chilled out.  Now I am posting this blog.  Soon, I will go downstairs to see what is going on.  It is only 8:30pm here.

Later...
