We choose to create our own freedom and our own world, because freedom is not available without effort
-Eugene Hutz
Today is Thursday and in three days I will be going with my entire Silver Unit (about sixty Corps members) way up north to the Redwoods to Mendocino! I am so excited to get away from this Area. The weather might be nice but from what I have seen of Sacramento It is not a gorgeous area. It is just really flat and all of the trees look like they were they were imported and put there on purpose instead of just growing naturally.
The redwoods are going to be a fantastic change of pace. We are going for 4 days and we will fix up a Boys and Girls camp. The camp takes children from cities like San Diego and San Francisco, children that might never get a chance to attend a summer camp otherwise (or even leave the city) and brings them by the Skunk Train, a huge snaking Steam Engine complete with singing conductors that winds its way up north through the forest. It's all a big secret what exactly we will be doing up there but they were very quick to tell us that YES, PT (physical training) will still be going on every day. WAHOO!
I bet Ya'll are wondering why I haven't talked about my new team yet, seeing that I just got them and they are going to be such an integral part of my corps experience? Well I actually have been wicked sick for the last threeish days. I think that in the that time I have slept about 45ish hours AHH. I'm feeling a lot better seeing that my 100 and some odd temperature is gone but I am still hacking up a lung about every 5 minutes. In order to take time off from my NCCC duties I had to go to Sick call and get a doctor's note. Even though there was 5 of us (all my neighbors) who had the exact same sickness and all of us had gotten sick the same time, for some reason I was the only one tested for swine flu.. I don't know why.
Sorry I know I said I would tell you guys about my Birthday But I'll have to push that onto next post. THANKS FOR READING!!!!!!!!
