Well time in AmeriCorps is just flying by, it's been over a month now and I feel like I've been here for years (in a good way). I love it here, every moment, basically every person. It feels weirdly like home now.this past week has been transitions week. On Monday we did our debrief for our mini spike, which basically dealt with talking about all we did. We then received our first round project and set to work on our brief which we gave on Wednesday. The brief just talks about where we're going and what we plan to do. After that it was just a lot of preparing to leave and for induction.
Anyway we had induction on Friday, I'm now officially an AmeriCorps member. It was a nice little ceremony, we had cake and took lots of pictures. The day after we departed for First Round Spike! It was a nice long drive through Pennsylvania, I drove for part of it through the mountains. It was gorgeous but driving through the mountains slightly scary. We got a little lost in Pittsburgh but made it here to Raccoon Creek State Park late yesterday. Our cabins are so ridiculously nice and clean. I can actually enjoy the outdoors because they are so nice. It's honestly a very beautiful park from what I've seen and will look even nicer once it starts getting green. The town around is tiny, the nearest grocery store/pharmacy/internet is at least 25 minutes away, but I suppose for now it's nice to get away.
We have orientation tomorrow and get started on work on Tuesday, I'm really pumped. We waled around a bit today and it's huge. I'll post pictures hopefully at the end of the week when we get a chance to hit up some wireless, until then!
