Today was training day, where we passed in lots of paperwork and had to walk all over the campus which is very beautiful and fully equipped with a pool, game room with pool table and foosball, a flat screen tv with about 7 leather couches to lounge on, a lot of playing fields, a gym with bball courts and workout equipment (that I will hopefully never have to use!) and lots of pretty buildings for training and living in. My group was supposed to go to medical check in and pee in a cup for a drug test, get shots, etc. but they were so behind we get to do it tomorrow instead--YAY! haha, I am so excited-NOT! It was one of my temporary team members birthday today, so a few of my teammembers and I went to the grocery store to buy a cookie-cake and ice cream for him and I was in love with how many dessert choices they have down here! So of course that was one of the highlights of my day :) I also went to Wal*Mart with a bunch of people and when we got there, we realized that almost everyone from AmeriCorps was there too--it's one of the only places around here! So that was fun...then I came back and tried to use my laptop, but of course it wouldnt connect to the wireless, so I am here in the computer lab...and sadly won't be able to upload my awesome pics that I have taken today (of my steel-toed boots and uniform, which quite frankly look ridiculous on me!) but maybe someday it will work?! Well I am out of time because the computer lab closes at 11pm, so all in all today was a much less stressful day than yesterday, but just as steamy hot and sweaty!
