I'm in Newport, RI now, for two months of NSI. The first few weeks (starting tomorrow morning) I won't have any internet access. So I'll try to update this a little more once I can get to internet again... I'm writing this from Barnes & Noble, and I don't have too much time left on my two hour block of online time that I bought. The drive up was uneventful. I stopped in NJ to visit Memom for a day, and Tim came down from school too, so that was nice. Tim and I drove down to Dividing Creek on Saturday morning and took some pictures. They're on Facebook if you want to see them. I finally had to get a new computer this morning. Mine has been slowly dying over the last few months, and I kept putting off buying a new one, wanting to save the money and use that one as long as possible. Last night when I was using it, it started smoking from the power jack... not cool. So this morning after a bit of shopping around, I ended up with a brand new Apple Macbook. Nice. Naomi is thrilled that I've broken free of the 'Microsoft cult' (my words, not hers). So far I love it. Very easy to transition from Windows, very nice and sleek looking, Leopard is such a great OS compared to Windows XP, and there was no way I was going to buy a computer that had Vista on it. Sometime Microsoft will learn how to make a bloat-free OS, but in the meantime, they've lost my business...
OK. Time to go find something to eat, and head back to the barracks to get a good night sleep. Everything starts tomorrow morning at 5:00.

My barracks is the one at the top of Nimitz Field on Kollmeyer St. My room is all the way in the far right corner on the second floor. When I get online next time, I'll put up a picture of the inside of my room. It's small...
