I drove a 36-foot bright green RV today. I drove it on the freeway, which was terrifying. I cut one person off, turned to sharp causing a tree to protrude one of the windows ravaging a fellow roadie, and got mildly lost. All in all, it was a great day of training. 

After two days I have a better idea of what the hell I'm gonna be doing for the next couple months. We are going to be here in the offices training for the next two weeks. Then we have a week of events locally. Then finally we hit the road officially. October 4th is the estimated date of departure. We will take a week or two to make it to the East Coast. This trip will be completely up to us. We have a certain amount of people to interview. These people will be of our choice, and all the interviews will be set by us. Depending on which interviews we book, our route will look different. So it is all essentially up to us though. Then once we reach the East Coast and finish our interviews. We will take the next four weeks to make it back to the West Coast. All along the way we will have different events largely at college campuses. Each team will have a general route during this leg of the trip: north, central, or south. By the end of this week or beginning of next, we will have both our teams set, and our routes. 

With each day, the reality of what I am doing sets in more and more. This makes room for excitement to start taking the place of anxiety. I'm getting to know everyone slowly, and acquiring skills, like driving RV's, that I may never use again. It's amazing.
