First off I just wanted to say that I'VE BEEN EXCEPTED INTO FRT! I'm going to be a Category 2 Forest Firefighter! And Also Cody got accepted too so this is very exciting. Also we had another daylong project the other day that consisted cleaning cans off at a food pantry for about 5 hours so that confirmed my choice to join FRT. I would much rather be chillen in the woods and doing Physical Labour than doing monotonous work like that. Even though both types of jobs are really really important.
Two and a half weeks into Americorps and It already seems like I have been gone for months... I might have said that in one of the Blogs before but I just can't stress enough, how quickly everyone became friends and how tight of friends we have become!
I'm pretty bummed out right now though. We have been in our temporary Pods for the last couple weeks and yesterday we got broken up into our permenant teams yesterday and I am just sooo sad to leave my podmates. Usually pods are only together a couple of days but because over half of the team leaders were deployed to American Samoa the last few weeks to aid in the tsunami they only just got back yesterday so that is when we were split up into Teams. I dunno why but all of us just clicked and we literally hung out all day, from PT, to the trainings, to afterhours and dinner. I am goining to miss them all so much. The sweet thing is that I still have the same Team Lader as before. Paul, he is the man. I am so pumped to be working with him for the next 9 months.
Ah I have so much to say about my birthday and my first deployment and the fact that I might have gotten swine flu But ya'll will have to tune in tomorro or something when I have more time to writ.e
Everything sounds so exciting, its been great reading and finding out what your up too!
