I's here!

Houston, we have lift off! I have arrived. It took me 6.5 hours to get here. I stopped twice, once to get money out of the ATM in Gulfport and once in Baton Rouge. While in Baton Rouge, I stopped at an Exxon to fill up, eat at Subway, and get a cappaccino. The praline was an added bonus! While I was in there, a little black boy was stealing for a white woman. I kinda got pissed. She was pointing out things and he was pocketing them. The lady that worked in the store pointed him out to another guy, who I am assuming was her boss. By the time she noticed him, he was walking out of the store. The manager(?) didn't seem to care. He didn't write down a tag number, try to stop the boy or the woman, nothing. What is the world coming to? A little (black) boy is stealing, stealing meaningless shit(juice and energy drinks), stealing for someone else (white woman), and the manager doesn't have a care in the world. I guess it ain't his shit, so oh well.
Anyway, so I finally made it after crossing numerous bridges. It was an easy drive, straight shot. I had to jump off 10 to get on 12 then back to 10. That was it, simple drive. I rode with Kanye for a while, then John Legend, then a mix CD. After that I rode with the radio and talked on the phone. My friends were pretty good about making sure that I knew they would talk to me if I got sleepy. I didn't leave until 6, so they were pretty worried. I wasn't. I was determined, destined to be here. I really believe God sent me here. I am going to great things here! I can feel it.
I am supposed to be getting dressed to meet this woman at 12 to go to her district, which is the second highest in the area and has 9 vacancies. I'm pretty excited about that. I just had to post right quick. I'll be back to post how it went, unless I start enjoying the town too late!
