Mississippi Girl and Address!

Hey guys!!! Well I obviously made it to Mississipp ok! Not gonna lie, it was a looong drive. We left Nick's house at 10:00 on Saturday morning and, minus about 3 hours of stopping to eat and get gas, we were on the road untill we pulled into Gulfport at about 10:30 on Sunday. It really wasn't bad for the most part, just got to be a little long. We all got about three hours of sleep since we rotated driving throughout the night. I drove through Arkansas and Illinois from 11pm-3am. So now we're here, learning about the Pass and talking a little bit about the work we will be doing. I'm getting to know A LOT of new people, there are about 60 here, so it's a lot of names and trying to remember names and faces. The weather...haha it's a bit gross. The humidity is what gets to people. It really hasn't been too much hotter than in the 80's, but it's so humid all the time. There's still no air conditioning in the library we live in, but they're hoping to get it fixed in the next week, which would be amazing! Considering I'm sharing a bed with someone and living in one big room with 22 other girls, it gets a little hot at night. We just got back from a scavenger hunt around Gulfport and Pass Christian which was a lot of fun. We used GPS systems to get our clues, the went around the towns. It took about 3 1/2 hours, but my team won :) Anyway, that's about all I have time to write right now...but I got here safe and the people here are great (as if I had any worries...:) ) and I'll hopefully update again soon! Thanks so much for the comments!
Here's my address for the next six weeks:

Bye ya'll, love ya! :)
