NOI Training - Day 1

NOI training is about as much fun as it sounds. End.
However, they did give us free breakfast and lunch! As Shannon pointed out in her comment, free food tastes better than paid for food, but is especially delicious when you're poor and living with two/three other dudes who have little-to-no interest in cooking. Some fellows have host families who cook all kinds of goodies for them and Nate and i are extremely jealous of those people. Nate just said, "I could not be more jealous." Some fellows also have host peoples who do their laundry, and this makes some of them uncomfortable. However, again, it makes Nate and i full of envy. Aunt Mary, i could not miss you more. I love you.
Tonight we did some canvassing for Brent Barton. Our turf had already been stomped out once (maybe twice) before, so it seemed super redundant and most of my contacts (60%) were "hostile" and refused to talk to me. Kind of a drag. The good news is that it made things go quick, so Jake (a fellow i was canvassing with - he's from Long Island and a super cool and slightly misunderstood dude) and i hit up a pub, drank beer/RC cola, and played a little bit of pool while we waited for our pick-up.
I have to wear long sleeves on turf . . . shower time!
