37 posts in ten months? Not too bad...

Well. It’s been ten months and, contrary to what I thought many times over the course of these ten months, I am still alive.

I’ve had a great year. Looking back, re-reading these entries… I have most certainly wanted to die at times (or at least leave the program) and I’ve had many struggles, but this year has been phenomenal.

I had baseline today. (Sorry, this is going to be a very disjointed entry. Then again, they all are…) I half assed it. And Now I am kicking myself. I ran a minute slower than the last baseline. The last baseline, I tried! This time I half assed it and was ONLY a minute slower. If I had actually run it I wonder how much time I could have shaved off… Damn. Well, I guess I will just have to wait 2 weeks until I do this WHOLE THING OVER AGAIN to see what my time is like.

I have more information about the next class. There are 72 Corps Members, 7 Field Team Leaders, and 1 Support Team Leader (myself). The first round I will be working closely with the Service Learning staff member, second round they are planning on getting me out in the field with a team, third round the new class will come in and I will be helping with Team Leader Training, and fourth round is a part of third round and we’ll see what happens. Maybe, I’ll uh, get another team? Maybe? I don’t know. We’ll see. I won’t get my hopes up though.

I am going to miss Paige. A lot. She is thinking about coming back during my Team Leader Training (TLT) and leading a session! That would be grand. I would love to have her visit and see me in my green shirt.

I am SO excited to have my own room. With my own bathroom. I am SO excited to start my team leader year already! Sean, Jon, Sam and I are a great mix of corps members to be coming back. I’m really excited to work with them all.

OH! The best part! I am the Delta Unit’s support! I was hoping, hoping, hoping I would be a Delta again. And I am. Hooray. Jon and I are Delta Unit, Sam and Sean are River Unit. There are 3 females and 1 male joining the ranks, Delta gets the guy and 1 of the gals, River gets 2 gals. I’m excited to meet them.

I have nothing to do today until 2:30. I should have a packed schedule but I finished all my shit yesterday. I would like to cozy up in my bed and watch a movie on Netflix or waste my time on Facebook, but there is no internet in Johnson Hall! I have to go to Green Hall and if I go to Green Hall I have to put on my uniform so it doesn’t look like I’m wasting my day… even though… I will be. Oh my life is so tough.

My mom and dad will be here tomorrow! I’m so excited. I can’t wait to show them off and show off to them. So, mom and dad tomorrow, graduation Thursday, car shopping/Vicksburg touring Friday and Saturday, and HOME Sunday.

Best week ever.
