I'm not apologizing any more for the lack of updates, I'll update when and where I want to, so to all 2 of my avid readers: I'm sorry. I mean, deal with it ( Read more... )

Hey, I know it's dangero9usly close to being two months since my last update. I also know that I just spelled dangerously with a 9. That was intentional. That's just how dangerous I am ( Read more... )

Hey y'all, I took a break from updating since the orleans trip cause that was just a lot of writing. So since the big trip, I've been become increasingly busy with class projects. My senior design project is to redign a building that's currently being built at a satelite campus of ours, Lamont Observatory, upstate a about a half an hour. My team is ( Read more... )

I woke up the next day feeling pretty good considering the night before. This was the last day of work for us since we'd be flying out the next morning. Breakfast was more pancakes and fruit. Pastor Blair and Dustin cornered Seth and asked him for a new work order. He gave us a brand new (unopened) house and paired us up with a group that had just ( Read more... )

Pancakes and grits await us at Atonement for Thursday's breakfast. Interesting note: grits go down surprisingly smooth. I'm still not sure what it is, but I think it's really just laymans term for "oatmeal". Heather's would-be boyfriend came over again to flirt and the rest of us promptly snickered into our food until he left. He never called her ( Read more... )

Another early morning, another solid breakfast in the mess tent. We finally have everyone back on board and fully over the mysterious sickness. This makes finishing the house go really quickly and I start going over all the rooms with a hammer taking the remaining nails out of the walls. Some of the girls have started spraying the finished rooms ( Read more... )

This morning everyone finally admitted to feeling the aftereffects of the previous nights dinner. Luckily I had suffered the worst of it before going to bed and now I was feeling relatively fine. Most of the rest of our crew weren't so lucky. Pastor Blair, Heather, and myself seemed to be good enough to work while the rest barely made it through ( Read more... )

6:00am. Honestly. those who know me may think I'm making that time up, that I may not even realize that time exists. But I met it this Monday...and was displeased. But I got up anyway. I put on my work clothes and headed out with the rest of the groggy people to make the short trip to Atonement Church for breakfast. Everyone was relatively chipper ( Read more... )

This was the beginning. I got up earlier than Christa for what she counts as the second or third time ever. I silently collect my things and leave the room. Only to return maybe 50 or 60 times for things I forgot to pack. Finally, Kjersta, Dustin, Susan, and I are off to the airport. We meet up with Pastor Blair who tells us that we fundraised way ( Read more... )

That's my excuse for not posting as often as you'd like. That's right some people actually complain that I DON'T WRITE OFTEN ENOUGH! Which mean some people READ THIS! Huzzah, break out the Frambois Lambic. Well to be honest, it's been so long I don't even remember what i've done since my near miss with the NYPD for exposing my hairy legs. I guess ( Read more... )
