probably the last entry before i leave
but who knows, i'm sure i'll find some excuse to go and update later.
yesterday was a pretty cool day. started off with an Independent Service Project (ISP) at the community center that is right up the road from the base. our group ran all the games tables at their Halloween Party. that was from 11:30-4:30. and then on our way out we got to play on the giant inflatable slide. it was like those things you bounce around in except that it was like a climbing wall on one side and then once you got up the wall you went down the giant slide. lol. and people were definitely laughing at us. but that's okay.
then most of my team went shopping. it was sposed to be a short trip but it ended up being from 6-11. first we went to walmart and planned on only being in there for 15 minutes. well of course that didnt happen. we got knitting needles and yarn because a team member or our leader is going to teach us how to knit. i got this awesome multi-colored yarn that's purple and dark green and dark blue. and i got hackysacks and bandannas so i can teach people how to juggle. and we all got headlamps for when we go wandering around the woods at night.
then some of us went across the street to the mall so erica could go to the shoestore while steve and jillian waited for their pictures to develop at walmart. and the mall sucked. and then once we all got back together we went to the cheesecake factory. and when we got there it was a 75-90 minute wait. so we put our names in and then went to barnes and noble. and the cheesecake factory called us like 15 minutes later and said they had a table. so we went back over there. and i had this awesome soup that was cream of chicken with mushrooms and artichoke hearts. and then i got the cheesecake of death, well really it was chocolate peanut butter cookie dough cheesecake. yum.
and then back when i tried to pack and had a bunch of trouble trying to pack all my stuff into one bag.
alrighty...in 16 hours i'll be on my way to Catalina Island!!!
