Well, the weekend wasn't too exciting. I hung out with a friend watching youtube videos Friday night, and was in bed by midnight. Wild nights in AmeriCorps. Saturday I went to St. John's which is a women's shelter, and sorted through clothes in the warehouse. For three hours I sorted through bras--black, white, and tan bras, from size A to size H. Victoria's Secret could hire me. Saturday was even more dull than Friday night. I watched some movies in the common room. Fortunately there is a girl here who went to cosmotology school, so I also got a haircut for excitement Saturday night. It is awfully short, but it seems to have gone over well. Sunday morning I went to an organization called Project R.I.D.E. It is a horseback riding facility that offers lessons to children with special needs. They had a spaghetti dinner the night before, and we went in the next day to take down the tables and chairs, and set up so they could carry on with their riding lessons. The very best part of it was the hot breakfast: scrambled eggs, bacon, and the best biscuits I've ever had (yes...better than McDonalds). This is how I "get my poor on these days" (direct quote from one of the administrators here), I accept lots of free food. Besides breakfast they sent us home with tons of candy, sunflower seeds, and yes, even left over spaghetti. It was a quiet weekend, but all was well. Today I lost my roommate :(. I picked up a new one, a teammate, she's cool, but I will always miss Deiy.
7 Days til we leave for New Orleans!
