Hello people, yesterday I finally met my team. It was very exciting. There are 12 of us and so far so good. Everyone is welcoming and ready to just jump in. So for those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, my team is the group of people who I will go on spikes with, who I will do everything with, they are basically going to be my family. For the next 10 months we will eat meals together, we will travel together, we will live together, and we will work together. So basically, we are going to have a pretty intense relationship. And good news, there are musicians on my team! I’m looking forward to campfire songs…
Today we had our PT baseline…this was basically the PT test to see where we fell in terms of physical fitness so we could be grouped accordingly. I have to say I was pretty proud of myself, I did 25 pushups in a row! That’s crazy for me. I ran my mile and half without stopping right around the time I expected, and I did well on my sit-ups. Now, I have PT to look forward to four days a week at 5 AM! Woooo!
I’m pretty sure I don’t have much else to share...we still have a good amount of downtime, but when the downtime comes you feel like you need it. Saturday is Make a Difference Day so I will be making a difference somewhere…I believe we will me making community gardens. Sunday we have the day off, so expect to hear of some adventure we went on that day, we still haven’t decided where to go yet, but will be deciding soon!
I have really enjoyed hearing from everyone through texts, the phone, emails, facebook, and messages on the board! Keep it up, I want to know what is going on with everyone else just as much as you guys want to know what is going on with me.
For those of you who did not receive a picture of me in my “suit” enjoy!!
P.S. I was supposed to put this up last night, but I got lazy…so now here it is a day late. My bad. Also, I think many of you will be interested to know that my roommate and I walked 30 minutes today mainly for a dollar general.
