So here I am in my hotel room, all to myself. I have been here for almost a week now. I have had internet this whole time and it kind of intimidates me! I had a roommate at first, but his transition took place somewhere else so he left after the 2nd day. It has been a chaotic and awkward week seeing all 300 Corps members back in one place. The 7 other guys that I 'grew up with' during CTI are almost a forgotten memory now. I am very attached to my team. We had our official debriefing yesterday and it was amazing. Our presentation blew away any weak standards ever previously set in the past! Today we set out for a community service project 40 minutes outside of Jackson. I was the project leader and really had no idea what to expect at this location other than it was with a church center of some type. Turns out that we were headed to the summer camp. This camp had it all. 700 acres of land, a huge lake, a pool, a rope course, fishing, open fields, cabins, shelters, an 18 hole disc golf course... I was blown away. There were so many things to do, but todays task was removal of fallen limbs around the camp. We followed Charlie around as he drove the tractor and trailer loading it up with branches and what-not. We were invited back to play around, but unfortunately we are leaving Friday morning and do not have much free time between now and then. Tomorrow early afternoon we have our brief and I am dying to just get it over with. We may be able to go to the camp afterward for the afternoon if all goes well. Friday morning we are going to breakfast, packing the van, and leaving! I saw a bunch of pictures today of our upcoming locations in WV and they look amazing. I am really excited for The Mountain Institute. Once again, I will be in a ZERO cell phone coverage area. I mean, hell, half of WV doesn't even have running water, why should we get cell phones... To get to a major town to buy groceries it will take about 5 hours roundtrip! Talk about isolated...
Now its time for pictures and captions because I am getting sleepy
