two day update
so yesterday was Columbus Day which we had mostly off until around 2 pm. at that time we met for the last time with our pods and discussed Columbus Day and how wrong it is. about how columbus didnt discover anything, how he treated the native americans poorly, etc. etc.
so then we got our teams. i'm blue 3. and my team is great. we had duty last night which meant we had to walk around and check things and then clean all the common areas in one of the buildings.
we had to get up for our second dose of physical training this morning. they had our group do a bunch of stretches and calesthetics and somewhere in there we had to run the 1.5 mile. and we all finished it before 17 minutes and that's pretty good considering my last time was 17 minutes, so at least i'm improving. and i managed to keep jogging the entire way and i didnt feel so much like i was going to die when it was all over.
and the food situation here is getting pretty annoying. our team wrote down a bunch of things that need to be worked on. the other day, they ran out of food at lunch after 30 minutes. and apparently breakfast was late this morning and it consisted of crunchy breakfast burritos. and they weren't that bad if you broke all the crunchy parts off.
then we had red cross training which was really boring and i almost fell asleep a few times. and that's pretty much it.
well except for that our presenter was way too excited and she offered all of us a "writing stick." an example of said excitement was when someone asked her what pestilence was and she said, "it's like death! and disease!" with a big ol' smiley face. lol.
:-)
and now i'm going to go take a nap...something i havent been able to do since i started the program.
