One Week Down

I've now been in Denver for a full week and am making my first official post. There is no internet access in the dorms which makes it hard to get online but we can get wireless in the quad and in the library.
The first week has been an experience in its self. I met about seven incoming corps members on the flight in from Dulles and found that everyone was very friendly. The group of us were seated together on the plane and chatted most of the trip. After landing we were greeted by AmeriCorps reps at the baggage claim and seated with other incoming members from all over the country to wait for the bus to take us to campus. Many of us chatted as to where we had come from and attempted to remember names, but the one thing we all had in common was the inability to take our eyes off of the snow-capped mountains that sat just across from the airport. The weather was beautiful, not a cloud in the sky.
When we first arrived on campus we were first given the keys to our dorms and our roommates. My roommate's name is Trevor and is from Westchester, Pa. I soon became aquainted with the rest of the guys in my hall. Theres Christian from SanFransisco, Joe from Salem Massachusets, Paul from Buffalo NY, Jack from Pittsburg, Patrick from Vienna Virginia, Aaron from Georgia and many more. Theyr'e all really cool people who have tons of common interests and everyone seems to be on the same page of life. The remainder of the first day was mostly devoted to in-processing/paperwork but a group of us did get a good game of ultimate frisbee in. I snapped the above picture just after the sun set over the mountains.
