Hello Everybody!
It's our first week back from Spring Break and so far it has been pretty good! I have so much due this week and luckily for me, my teachers keep on pushing it back. I don't actually know if that is a good thing or not though because I am going to have so much due next week!
So, anyway...I wanted to tell you about my spring break. I had the most amazing time of my life! I am a member of Alternative Spring Break on campus, which is basically like Habitat for Humanity, but instead you go somewhere else and help build a house for a family. I went to Corpus Christi, Texas with nine other students. It was awesome! The first day we flew down, Sunday, we just hung out, went to dinner at an amazing little Mexican restaurant, and then went bowling. Let's just say my team was fantastic, with no help from me, haha. The four of us on my team won two out of the three games we played against the rest of the group.
Monday was our first day on the worksite and we started building three sheds. Two of the girls painted an entire house! That is basically what happened the majority of the week. But, on Friday, our last day, three sheds were completed, an entire house was painted, and a pipe system was placed in another house! It was amazing and totally rewarding to see how a little bit of volunteer work could go such a long way and totally change somebody's life! I cannot wait to do it again next year! I would honestly recommend it to anybody!
With spare time at night we did tons of fun things! We went to a different type of restaurant everynight! I am probably the pickiest person known to man and the group got me to try asparagus, mushrooms, crab legs, crab dip, shrimp, and even SQUID!!! It was a week of trying all new things for me! I was very proud. We also went mini-golfing, shopping, to Sonic (twice!), and played an intese game of spoons!
Wednesday was our one day off. We went to the beach for the entire day, about six hours! We started the day off with a game of touch-football and then all ran into the freezing cold water! I loved it! On Friday after our work day we went paintballing. That was very exciting! It was my first time doing that. I have a few bruises, but it was well worth it.
I just had an amazing time. I seriously believe I had the best group imaginable. They were all so fun to be around! We got along so well. I cannot wait until we have a reunion!
But, now I am back to school...but I love school and have always loved school, so I am happy!
