21 April 1999

Do you know what today is?  It's exactly six months since I entered the MTC.  Whoa.  That was fast.  I'm a quarter done now.  The first quarter is said to be the longest, too.  I'll be home before I know it.  I guess you could say I celebrated my quarter mark yesterday with a Quarter Pounder with Cheese.  And a Big Mac, too.  Oh, baby, they were soooo good!  It was worth 100 pesos.  I heard from the APs that McDonalds is looking for land in Tacloban.  Awesome!  I just better not be assigned there ever, because I'd be out of money halfway through the month.  (Tacloban eventually got a McDonalds, but it was long after I was gone.)
