so i m no longer in pascagoula, mississippi anymore...now i m in trinity, texas for a transition week before i head over to new orleans...we are staying at this YMCA camp here called Camp Cullen...it is a camp straight out of the movies...there s a lake, ropes courses, horseback riding, climbing walls, archery ranges, etc...its pretty cool...
for some reason i ve been feeling a bit anti-social...i havent done any of the activities up above and i dont really plan on doing any of them...i dont know...i honestly just wanna get this over with and go on to my next project...i ve been thinking about how everything is going and i guess i m just tryin to refocus on why i came here in the first place and for some reason i ve been looking up a lot on the peacecorps...its easy to get caught up in the world here we call ameri-life...i ve just been relaxing here being a lazy bum...laying in the grass and listening to my ipod and what not...i m still trying to find that something that i know is out there for me...i think i m starting to feel a little old here...i feel like i m one of the more responsible ones here and i guess that automatically makes me feel a bit older...
my team leader selected me and one of my other teammates, shira, to be ATLs or assistant team leaders...i m glad...i m not gonna like brag or anything but it was really the only logical choice...i think our age just makes us a little more mature...so with this comes a little more responisibilty and now an official title.
there will be certain things i ll miss about pascagoula and other things i wont...overall it was a great experience to learn a lot but i m definitely ready to go work with habitat and get my hands dirty...
so i figured out a big mystery that i was wondering about earlier...i solved the reason why i had such tremendous amounts of gas back in denver...apparently it is a common practice in dormitory cafeterias to add laxatives to the food...LAXATIVES...i asked my friend why and apparently its healthier for you...they want you to have a regular cycle so you get less sick etc, etc...i just thought that was so wierd and if that is true, it makes so much sense.
ok...i m really tired...i m seriously like always the last person up...2-3 hours of sleep a night is not that hard to pull off but sometimes you feel it like i m feeling it now...good thing i dont have to wake up early...another update comin soon...take care

laxatives in the food, interesting.
sounds like a really cool camp. you should try to enjoy it while you can. good luck in new orleans!!
lol...i can't believe they put laxatives in food. there's something a little shady about that, albeit good intentioned...
