    The "Campus Inn" is fairly nice. It's the northern half of the old Howard Johnson's resort. Stayed there many a night back in the 70's with my family on vacation. Back then that was "the" place to stay while in Springfield. I'll always remember going to the open bar during happy hour by myself in the pool atrium area and hauling mixed drinks back to the room... and I was only about 9 or 10 years old. Those days are long gone...

    Well so far today took my interview.with Terry and went over the paperwork I filled out that I got when I got here yesterday and had to fill out paperwork saying if I or they void the contract by quitting or fire that they will require the full amount of training to be paid back. They have you sign off saying they can do whatever it takes to get itas well such as payroll deduction from your next job. After that I went back to my room and waited until me and a couple my friends cane over and we went to lunch since the food was free now. They do give you a limit of course but you can easily get enough to eat to fill you up and get a soda. they do have desserts here and so far everyone here as been easy going and friendly. After lunch went to the simulation lab were you learn the lovely double clutch and drive in different scenarios. There is a total of give of those with the last one backing up. Got done with that at 8 pm and went to a friends room to watch football. Tomorrow we go to 7 am roll call do not be late lol I was not but some were. We then go do our physical and drug test. Now something I do not get here is they do not want to even question if your pee is diluted so no drinking water a lot and if worried about blood pressure do not drink coffee tea or soda duh. Then to the Sim lab for my last sim. Will keep you all updated. o and if you have the money you can have a room to yourself for 25 a night and I will let you know all rooms have different things such as some have a fridge some don't some have microwaves some don't some have new flat screen t.v. And some have the old school t.v. And some have them all now they all do have some form of t.v. A coffee pot and the obvious there is a laundry room and a pool if your here during the right season. I will try to get some photos up soon ask if you wanna see something and I will try and snap a shot of it.
