Things are going pretty great here. I find myself bored frequently at work, but I LOVE hanging out with the kids when we get the chance. We are practicing to perform a drum circle! I know, it is shocking that I can keep a beat! We will perform it for the kids next Friday and then for the whole corps on May 12th! That is about 250 people! Pretty nerve-racking, but it should be soooo awesome. Someone should be recording it, so hopefully I can show it to you guys. :) Other than drum circle practices though, we really don't do much of anything.. It is kind of like being back in middle school sometimes. Yesterday I re-learned about WWI, last week was volcanoes, you get the picture.
This morning we had to participate in Global Youth Service Day and we went to Red Rocks to pick up trash and do some trail maintenence. It was FREEZING and snowing... We had to wear our rain gear. Sexy. Bright yellow is such an improvement to the normal uniform. But after we were finished, there was a drum circle! They were sooo awesome. We went on stage and played maracas and things. Now I can say I performed on the Red Rocks stage with an actual audience! In case you don't know what Red Rocks Ampitheatre is... it is a famous concert venue built into the mountain. Gorgeous.
Soooooo I found out about fourth round....NEW ORLEANS. meh. We are working with Rebuilding Together, again. But hey, we may be in the purple house this time, instead of the green one.. WoooHoo! Not. It is going to be disgustingly hot and humid and I am not looking forward to it. They are predicting 5 hurricanes over a category 3 while we are there. We might get to do some disaster work, which would be a pretty cool experience. Of course I don't want people to be hurt but maybe a disaster scare...? So we can set up the shelter, but nothing actually happens...? We leave Denver on May 17th. So a few more weeks in this spastic weather city. I can't believe how fast this is all going.. We will be done before you know it and I will be back in Sunny San Diego basking in the sun on the beach. Can't. Wait. But of course I will enjoy my last few months in the Corps. Hopefully the New Orleans humidity will just melt the pounds right off my body or just leave me with SWEET tan lines. Steel-toed boots and shorts. Oh yeah, baby. Get ready!
I will try to update this more often, but I get so tired after work!
Miss and Love you all!
