Narrative:

On jan/xa/01, I inadvertently entered class D airspace without a clearance. When I realized this, I was approximately 1 mi inside the airspace. After realizing this, I immediately changed course and exited the airspace. The contributing factors were inexperience in the area and MVFR conditions.
