so i had a funny dream yesterday morning:
there was a little girl in my neighborhood selling things from door to door. and she had left some MUDD jean stickers in our mailbox. and my dad was really mad and he yelled at her and took a piece of paper that she had that told her how to get money out of people. so then her mom came and was on our porch with a baseball bat. so then my dad was calling the police and i noticed that deirdre and benjamin were also on the porch with baseball bats. so then we opened the door and they had played a big joke on him or something.
so yesterday was just more training, which was actually more interesting than the rest. but it probably won't be interesting to you all.
but there is some interesting statistics about our possible projects. there are 2 teams that get sent to Hawaii and 2 that go to Alaska. each team goes to 3 different states if possible. each team has one project in Cali and then you have one in each area (education, unmet human needs, and environment). there's another area we focus on about public safety but not everyone does one of those projects.
so this morning we had our first project. we went and cleaned up a bike trail that runs from the county to the city. it was pretty fun. the only annoying part was that we didnt finish. they only had us work half of the day and then we ate lunch and that was it. but a lot of us wouldnt have minded going back and actually finishing the job. a lot of people found a lot of interesting things. but the most interesting by far was someone that found a piece of a gun, a bank deposit bag, and a ski mask all together.
and then the last thing i have to mention is that one of my suitemates Stephanie also cross-stiches. so we were cross-stitching together the other night.
