Our first full day in Kentucky was interesting. It has been fun getting to know the area a little, to recognize differences in culture and just having good times with each other, but I can’t wait until tomorrow when we get down to business doing what we came here to do. We learned last night that one of the projects we can work on is just a frame of a house, and the other is some renovations; I know it will be cool to work with the carpenters on either. Still a little apprehensive about the warning of snow- I hope it won’t stop our work!
Only Three Days
As midterms and various work has been piling on relentlessly, spring break and our trip to Kentucky has been creeping up very steadily, and now it’s only three days away. I know our whole group feels a mixture of emotions just as I do- relief there’s a break, excitement for the trip, a slight pang of longing for a week to myself, it’s all there.
I just know that once classes are over and we are out on the trip, we’re going to have the best time. I have personally have been absent for some of the team building we’ve done, so I can’t wait to actually get to know everyone on the trip. And I can’t wait to be doing the project! I feel like our trip is so necessary, with the economic hardship on us all it’s important that everyone works together to pull ourselves out of tough times. It feels good to help my fellow human beings and I’m eager to get started.
