Exhausted....

First and for most, I am not really sure why I am blogging instead of sleeping, insanity maybe. I have pretty much been awake since 5 am on Tuesday morning, minus a few cat naps on a 55 passenger bus that had 40 people on it. I am not really sure how well you can sleep on a bus like that, plus they were blaring movies over the TVs on the bus. So we left Fayetteville at 7 yesterday evening, and arrived in Alma around 8 but had to wait until 9 for all of the people to be there, then we arrived in Little Rock at 11:30 and had to wait until 12:30. After everyone got settled we made our journey back on 40 heading to Memphis.
The first hour or so we played Taboo and Mad Gab, which were pretty stinkin funny! By the time we got to Alma we were all ready to read so from Alma to maybe Russellvilleish I read, until my book light got broke. After picking up in Little Rock the bus driver made a Wal-Mart fun in Forrest City, I think we were the only people there, seriously! I purchased a new book light which I hope lasts more than just this trip....they are kinda expensive. We finally arrived to Nashville this morning around 7:30 am. We got our luggage and caught a cab to come to the hotel that we are staying at, which was an experience to say the least. My first cab ride, ever! So we showered and got Driving Ms. Daisy shuttle to come get us and return us to the Gaylord Convention Center, where we got credentialed to be delegates. So, it's about 11ish and we have a session to be in at noon and since we have no ride we have to heat at the Convention Center.....big mistake. I got a burger from this place called Stax, the burger was fabulous and came with fries well that was $10 and than $3.50 for a milk shake. So I am good and full after that. I got thirtsy laster in the day to figure out that their are no water fountains and that a 12 oz botle of soda is $2. Needless to say I will be bringing my water bottle with me tomorrow! So we decided after the opening House of Delegates that we were all too tired to stay for the opening ceremony and the conuntry Jamboree. We all, 6 of us, went to Applebee's for dinner and came back to our hotel, and of course my tooth has been hurting and once I took the meds it makes me where I am not so sleepy. So here I am blogging instead of sleeping...I did finish my first of 3 chapters on Respiratory, so some progress is better than none. I do have some pictures from today but I will post them tomorrow, the cord to my camera is in my room and I am in the lobby so my room mates can sleep.
