First off, I'm thoroughly enjoying this round, I have to say it's the best thus far. Although Oklahoma City it's the top, hottest, hoppin' city in the states it's not all that bad, I've got nothing to complain about. My team's GREAT, so chill and fun to be around, and the project's pretty sweet (well, ya know, compared to being inside filing taxes).
Just in case you didn't know, this round is what [Denver campus] AmeriCorps calls shuffle round, where we were able to individually rank which project we wanted and the original teams got, well, shuffled around. So I've been with new people these past few weeks which is a nice change. I like getting the chance to live and work with different people and so far, as I stated above, it's been wonderful. :) Plus, I'm working with Habitat for Humanity (with amazing site supervisors yet again!)
This time around we're not working on one house from the ground up. Instead, we're working on a few different sites doing new construction a few days a week and refurbishing the other days. I like getting the opportunity to do a variety of work with the Central Oklahoma Habitat. For instance, we've been doing a bunch of painting (interior and exterior), cleaning out yards, more painting, roof work, some more painting, framing... yup! we framed this house on one day (with the help of some volunteers).
and sometimes we even get to clean out attics...
We just had our spring break, which was nice. I'm currently sitting in my room on good 'ole Long Island. I decided to take a few of my personal days in order to spend a decent amount of time home which gave me the opportunity to spend time with the fam and friends. Tomorrow it's back to Ameri-land/OK City. There's about a month left of this project then it's off to where ever for our 4th and final round! (INSANITY).
