It's good to be back here in Vicksburg, catching up with friends and whatnot. We had a busy first day, as soon as we got back on campus we had to clean our van, turn our tools in, and then have our debrief of round 3. After doing all that, we had lots of free time yesterday and today we had the option of either going to work in the cemetery or to a job fair in Memphis...I chose the latter, no big surprise haha. The only bad thing was that we had to wake up at 4:15 to get there by 10am! When we got there, we were expecting a really big event, but there were only 15 tables at most, and none of the businesses appealed to us, so we basically stood around for a little over an hour and chatted with other AmeriCorps people. We then were set free to go anywhere in Memphis, as long as we were back on the road by 2pm, so my van went to the National Civil Rights Museum so some people could check out the free outdoor part, and then we went to Central BBQ. Overall, it was a great day, because we just hung out and I spent the 8 hours in the van snoozing, so I was really glad that I didn't have to work in the cemetery all day! Now I am currently in the computer lab, having a "blogging party" with Colin, who I also tricked into helping me out with my taxes online, because part of his last round was helping people with taxes, how perfect! Haha, I got them done and owe $0 as well as will get $0 back haha. I'm probably going to head to bed soon, because we have PT baseline tomorrow at 6am...blahhh, but Mollie, John and I have already decided that we are not going to make ourselves sick and nervous about our times, and instead we are going to jog at a pace that will keep us warm on the predicted 45 degree morning, while also not breaking a sweat haha I'll let you know how that goes...
In other news, Nate has booked his flight, rental car, and hotel to come visit me my first weekend in Greensboro, NC!! Woohoo! I'm so excited! He is so amazing for being so kind to come and visit me 3/4 rounds! Hopefully his visit will help cure some of my homesickness!
Love and miss you all!
Yay...back in Vicksburg, taxes done, off to Greensboro soon, bf visiting you when you after you get there. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteI'll be curious to read about PT. Let us know.
45 degrees? Lucky bum...it's only 24 here this morning, and we've got a Nor'easter coming in tonight...6 or more inches of snow predicted. Could Zac and Jonny really have a snowday on April 1?? See...home isn't all it's cracked up to be (what a weird expression!), so enjoy Vicksburg and Greensboro and the warmer weather. Home will be waiting, and you'll be here soon enough.
Love you,
