Since I last wrote, the access to internet here has decreased a bit, since the Wolf Den/Computer Lab desktops are now mysteriously closed off now. However, now that I am a proud Cecil County Public Library cardholder, this will mostly liklely become my mainstay for accesssing the outside world.
But anyways, on to the good stuff.
After a snow interlude last week, We really started getting into the rythym of CTI (Corps Training Institute) this week. We've been tested by long Red Cross trainings, the first test of PT, and getting pumped to start our individual service project hours. All this was tempered by a random Congressional Visit on Thursday which threw us all for a loop (followed by great success).
Tuesday was our first real day of training with our first day of PT in the morning (a bright and early 0540). PT was a good starting point for myself, for now I know where I need to improve to get better. Probably the hardest part was sitting through the Red Cross training in the VA threatre, where it was easy to find yourself getting a bit too comfortable in the cozy chairs.
Wednesday was a big day for all us, with our permanent team reveal. We had had our temporary teams now for about a week, and many, especially myself were nervous to see where we would end up. the Unit and Team Leaders had a big game for the reveal. All the corps members revieved a slip of paper with their name on it and a title of a song. We all stood around in a big semi circle and waited as each song played, naming our team and our team leader. As the song "Summer Girls" came up, found out that my team leader was Brenton, and that I was going to be on Badger 7! Afterwards, we had our first team meeting and started getting to know each other.
