6:18am -- ARGH...why did I have to wake up sooo early...I refused to get up that early...but when I was really wide awake by 8:00am...I gave in. I drank some of the really bad coffee that the hotel provided in the room -- but it might have been the water...it was pretty bad water.
10:00am - Met my friends for a little bit of touring...mostly the MSU campus...not Starkville...since we kept getting lost and saw a lot of it. It was rainy, windy, cold...and basically miserable...but when you are in the area...you need to take the time to see it. I was quite impressed with the campus of Mississippi State. There were not that many people around the campus...not only because it was the start of Christmas Break but the weather was probably keeping people inside.
1:30 - we had pretty much seen all of the campus and so we decided that we needed to eat. We went to The Little Dooey -- which is a local favorite. Great food, local people, and charismatic ambiance. I then parted ways with my friend, Jenn and Paul and began the long drive back to Nashville. It was rainy and windy...for most of the trip ...although...I tried to stay in front of the storm...but that was because I was going 80mph...LOL...
