It's a good thing, like braces! You're off to the races!
Thought I'd provide a quick update. Still just waiting to start, but I'm loving the CPAP machine. I'm waking up refreshed and earlier than usual. It's really balancing out my sleep patterns.
I leave on the 10th for St. Louis. I'll fly in, rent a car and drive to Sullivan, Mo for the night. I'll get up on Sunday and head to Campus Inn in Springfield. Orientation starts at 7am Monday morning.
It's getting real, y'all.

I go tomorrow to get my CPAP. I also found out that Prime will take me after 20 days of compliance, rather than 30. This means I can start sooner than I thought! I put in my official 3 week notice at work today. I'll be starting Orientation on March 12th. I'm right behind you, Reyn!
