ALAS MY CHILDREN.........I AM BACK!
But yeah, I had a LOT of fun.
(About the service learning trip)
The Lowell High School freshman center is divided into 2 wings. (East and West wing)
The East wing (Me) went to camp Mel Trotter which is a camp for at risk and underprivileged children, and we were cleaning it up and adding on to it before then come this summer.
The west wing went to camp Tuhsmeheta summer camp for visually impaired youth. (The name is all the senses except sight).
We built a ropes course, a mini golf course, did landscaping, painted cabins, cleaned, prepared, and maintained what was already there. Our group was responsible for making an outdoor classroom. (Which looks GREAT!) Pics up later?
We worked SO HARD, and it was so much fun.
Our group had some touchy moments because some of us are REALLY sarcastic, and some of us aren't and it can create major tension, but I like everyone in my group. My friend doesn't...but it's okay I guess.
We were on the news.
And okay, so I was in the trailer of a quad and the shop teacher was driving (REALLY FAST), and I was holding a generator. He was going SO FAST through the woods, and it was really making me angry because there wasn't good brakes and the trail was made like 3 minutes ago, and then the trailer just flipped and I hit my head on the side of the trailer and the generator came down on me. He was like "Yeah, we need to flip this trailer back over please" and i was like "UH, okay, just lift this generator off me and i'll be GOOD TO GO!"
That teacher acted like it was nothing. It really wasn't that big of a deal, and I told him I was fine just my head was really hurting and I was a little bit dizzy, but my head STILL hurts. That was yesterday morning. I've been taking advil all day though.
But it REALLY hurt. I hoped that in the end it would help him be a little bit better of a driver but it didn't. Before I rode with him I noticed how he was driving this girl around not even looking where he was going, he was talking TO the girl. He was going really fast too. You'd think with all the liability and such you wouldn't do that.
Then everyone who saw it told their friends, who told their friends, who told theirs and by the end of the night it wound up to the generator landed on my face and I almost died and the trailer flipped multiple times.
Weird.
It kind of annoyed me, but I have a story to tell.
I had a great time. I'm sad it's over. I have way more to say but i'll spare you all.
Bottom line:
I'm TIRED.
I'm dirty. (We didn't get to shower)
I'm SMELLY.
I'm happy.
