Well a lot has happened since the last time I posted, that's for sure! For sake of preventing readers from dying of boredom, I won't recount every detail of the last two weeks. Let's just continue on as if this break never happened.
So I have my permanent team!!! It's so great. Last Thursday all the Team Leaders gathered all of us Sun Beams (what I like to call the members of Sun Unit :)) on the soccer field and taped obscure words on our backs, then directed us to figure out how we were connected. They let us mosey around the field for like ten minutes, utterly bewildered by the seeming lack of order in our words, before our business-only Unit Leader gathered us around and requested that we return to our rooms, there had been an incident. Well as many people assumed, but as I was oblivious to, it was all an act. The soccer field was a distraction for all 55 of us Sun Beams so the TLs could run into our dorm and set up the REAL system for the team revealing: A campus-wide scavenger hunt! It was awesome. The clues led us around campus for an hour and slowly but surely our teams were revealed to us. And my team is great! I got the TL that I wanted, and am on a permanent team with people who are going to be a blast to spend the next nine months or so with. I am closer to a few more than others, which is nothing but encouraging because now I'll have three-day road trips to get to know them. :) And we were told our first project....We're going to New Orleans!!!!! This is going to be amazing. After spending a week doing Katrina relief work in 2007, I swore I'd go back someday to pick up where I left off...and now I get to! Our cargo van is all packed up and we're almost all ready to go. I can;t wait to get this show on the road.
Along with the work we do as a team, every member of our team each has to assume a team role or two throughout the course of the year. I'll be using my experience in the Coe Admissions Office to recruit new members for the NCCC! I'll be able to go to colleges and high schools and talk to people about the program, so clearly up my alley.
I think I'll leave it at that for now. Keep ya posted!
