So I guess I should report that we got done with our ohio project last wednesday.... And that now our team is on spring break!!!
HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well sorta. My ass is stuck here at the village doing absolutely nothing. Not many people stayed back for spring break. Most people are still on their projects and have their spring break next week, or others decided to fly home or go somewhere else. I wanted to go home but plane tickets cost a lot now. But thats not the real reason, its just all the shit thats going on at home that I don't want to be thrown into the middle of it. Which basicaly means im stuck here doing nothing. Which means spring break blows.
So as far as Ohio went, I had a pretty good time. The work was somewhat enjoyable. We mostly filled dirt in the foundation of 4 project sites which got fairly tedious after a while. But on the last few days, we finaly got to do framing and laying down the floorboards of some of the sites which definately were the highlight of our project. Basicaly thats all we did for work the majority of the time. One thing that pissed me off about cleveland was the weather. It was so unpredictible that it drove me crazy. One day it would be like 71 degrees, then the next it would be 28. Then the following day it would be 68 with a massive rain storm. So I had to check the weather every day to dress appropriately. I liked wearing my flece with my uniform though on cold days because Phoebe wouldnt let me wear my AmeriCorps sweatshirt because I "Modified it" aka I cut down the middle from the hood so I could breathe in the damn thing when I had the hood up.
As far as recreating in cleveland goes, theres not that much to do apparently. The first week we were there we went to the rock and roll hall of fame, but unfortunately due to copyright issues you werent allowed to take any pictures inside. So I can't share any of the awesomeness there. Other then that we didn't really do much of anything. My team took me out to dave and busters for my birthday, which if anyone doesnt know, is basicaly chuckie cheese, but with more kick ass games and a bar in the center of it, along with some HELLA good food. Even though I didnt have any drinks, it was still a kick ass time. But yeah, other then that Cleveland has nothing at all. Which blows. Most of the time spent at our housing was spent playing Ocerena of time for N64 on my laptop. It took me about a week to beat but at least it was something to do i guess...
As far as stuff at the village is concerned, I did a kick ass ISP yesterday with turn the page. My, Myron and Mike D. took house 3's van to downtown DC and helped them sort books for deliveries to various schools. Me and Mike did some book pickups around various places in DC and that turned out to be an adventure. I finaly got to paralell park for the first time. In a government Van too! So it was a bitch.
Other then thatim stuck here at the village with nothing to do except play game on my laptop, go chill on the internet, watch tv or pray that something comes along and finds me.
