Nicole arrives! (12.28.11)

On my plane ride from Charlotte to Dallas and from Dallas to Phoenix, I sketched people on the plane. Sketching in public is always fun, since people are always watching you. I definitely need a lot of practice drawing, but it's a good start. 

Once I got to the Phoenix Airport around noon, I went to the info desk and found out that I could take the metro (for a $1.75) instead of the shuttle ($13) to the hotel. On my way to the metro I hear someone say "Does this bus take you to the Sheraton Hotel?" Perfect! A forum attendee!! When this boy makes his way inside, I say "Hey! Are you going to Forum?" He said yes. His name was Gene and he's from Maryland. It was awesome finally meeting someone attending Forum.
The metro is extremely nice! It runs on the road and that's pretty cool. 
We meet another Forum student on the metro, Daniel, from Auburn. The three of us walk to the hotel together.
We had a delightful conversation the whole way to the hotel. We parted ways once we checked in.


For dinner that night I ate at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant. How typical for a Greek person, right? It was delicious!


My classmates finally arrived around 9:15 pm. 
Five people. 4 girls. 1 boy. Two beds. One bathroom. Here we go...


Getting pumped for tomorrow!!
