Contrasting to what many people thought might happen after reports of mysterious voices outside at night and the realization that we haven't been locking the doors, our entire stupendous group has made it through another night and awoken to a breathtakingly beautiful morning here at the Lander's!
The short Friday at KIPP yesterday seemed quite long, and for many was filled with arduous tasks such as grading, organizing, or even teaching classes. We returned home exhausted, but several of us took time to go down to the dick and appreciate the indescribable beauty of the lake. Shortly thereafter we partook in a huge of Apples to Apples, where Raven won by a landslide.
After a delicious dinner of hot dogs, celery, carrots, chips, and some makeshift sandwiches, we decided we wanted to watch Akeelah and the Bee. Watching this lovely movie was much easier said than done. We struggled for half an hour attempting to connect the Wii, before realizing that, simply enough, the "CD player" on top of the TV was actually a DVD player. I'd like to recognize Seb, who realized all along it was a DVD player, Jeremy, Melody, Nick, Raven, and everyone else who attempted to figure out the ever-confusing technology! The movie was well worth the wait!
Today we are venturing to three different sites, to work on Habitat for Humanity projects. I'm looking forward to spending some time outside in this beautiful area and I think we're all excited to catch a small break from working in the school and exposing ourselves to a different form of service. Our adventures will surely be unique and surprising, and as long as no one falls off a roof and everyone keeps a positive attitude, I think it will be a very fulfilling and unforgettable day! :)
