seattle so far

i have only been in seattle for a few days....its been fun, busy, intense, meaningful...its been great. i am staying in a hotel in redmond which is about 15-20 miles from downtown seattle. the hotel is in a town center with a mall, literally steps outside the front lobby. lot of stores and eateries. for those of you that know fountain walk....its like that, but upscale, and actually has stores....what a concept! the vending machines there take credit cards also....how awesome!
my flight on sunday was good out here. i took a shared ride from the airport to the hotel. i met this older guy, italian guy from the east coast, buisnessman, staying at the same hotel...i seem to run into him all the time. he keeps saying "hi bryan" and i feel bad because i always forget his name!
i walked around sunday, ordered a pizza and chilled
monday met the group. 8 total including myself and thenour facilitator. its a diverse group in ages and responsibilities. its great. hearing a lot of different ideas on how to perform the job...and GREAT hotel stories. monday was spent going over hotel stuff...it was long, worked from 8-5 minimally.
tuesday we started early and i think i worked til 6. we have different MODULES that we are required to complete, in any amount of time, at our own pace. it should take 2 weeks and a few of us have been pounding them out....working hard and arew almost done with the course! on tuesday we went to downtown seattle. AWESOME
wednesday was spent working and wed night went as a group to a Sushi place and were doing SAKI! i was a little drunk and i tried some crazy abnormal to my diet items
thur was again action pakced, studied a lot and wsent to a Tappas place for dinner. music, dancing, it was great.
i have 3 modules left to complete by next friday. we are going on a field trip now as a group to seattle to hang and have lunch. i have no idea what the weekend will bring, but i am pumped!
