Salvation Army Training

So yesterday was a full day of Salvation Army training, from 8am-5pm. It was actually alright, there were lots of little videos to go along with the lectures, and our trainer was awesome. He kept giving us chocolates and keeping things interesting so we wouldn't all fall asleep. OH I forgot to mention that before the training even started, we got up at 6am to play ultimate frisbee for PT. It was pretty fun, but so hot and sweaty still, even that early in the morning! After training, we had a unit meeting to introduce ourselves, say the new team we were on, and a fun fact about ourselves. My fun fact was that my favorite song is Barbie Girl by Aqua :) woot woot! I got a few chuckles from that one. I also got a letter today from Auntie Beth! It was the first thing I have gotten in the mail! I was so excited, and it made me laugh really hard-so thank you, Auntie Beth!!
After dinner last night we decided to go to the movies. I was really excited because I go to the movies all the time at home, and haven't been since I left Maine! 10 of us went to see The Expendables, the ultimate guy movie, which for some reason I was picturing a completely different movie in my head, a comedy...but this was just a bloody, violent movie! Ahhh oh well, it was still fun to go with everyone and get off campus for a bit.
This morning we had to get up for the last part of Salvation Army Training at 8am...it was rough, we were all soooo tired and the seats we were in are the most uncomfortable ones ever! But we survived, and then I went back to bed until about 12:30! When I finally woke up again, a bunch of us hung out at the pool, which was greaaaaat, cause we haven't actually had much time to be outside and get some sun since we have spent the majority of our time in trainings. I only lasted at the pool for a couple hours before having to go inside for some AC and lunch. It is so hot here, I was even sweating IN the POOL! Crazzzzy!
Also, I am going to go take pictures of the campus sometime soon (when its not toooo hot out) and upload them to my blog so y'all can have a better picture of where I am...the campus here is really impressive actually :)
