Iowanna do that - Milwaukee talkee

Definately been a slacker for this blog...but oh well. Suck it up! If you can't, then go to Starbucks and get a straw because I'm not helping you.

If I haven't talked to you then you know I'm a teeny bit peeved with the living arrangement. I guess It's a blessing that I have a house with running water, but I'm living in a one person bedroom with six guys. Sounds like a bad idea for a t.v. show...piff I've been saying people should record my life.

Overall though it's just been annoying. I've only gotten upset a couple of times when people put their things with mine, but nothing major...yet. Though the group tried to tell me that I thought I was better than everyone else. Bahhahaha...if you don't know why I'm laughing than you don't know me. It's kinda funny though if you do know me. This is the same group that thinks I'm a gangster and such, so I guess I can't expect them to know much about me. But I set em straight and all is well, and in short they all need to just stop being so sensitive and stop making assumptions. You know where that gets right? Knee deep in overflowed-toilet water. No fun for anyone.

But enough about the team, the project itself is not to shabby. Though it's a bit cold in Milwaukee, the work we're doing warms me up (though other people won't stop complaining...baby bottles should have been a part of our equipment). We're removing Buck thorn and Honey Suckle so far. Buck Thorn is a bit more fun, especially when they let me chop that bad boy down with an ax. Ooohhh boy do I feel great swinging an ax...don't know what that's saying about me...but oh well. We've also been doing a bit of trail building and thats kind of fun (basically picking up logs and tossing them along a trail to mark it...and the occasional downed log to chop down...yay). We also gotta pick up trash and I feel like a convict, but hey it's better for the environment.

We head to a new park tomorrow so hopefully it's still some fun stuff brewing in the Ameripot. Though I don't have internet in the house, Starbucks and McDonald's are close so it's not too bad. Oh and if you saw that facebook video of me in my room, thats back in Iowa...imagine my corner times two, and thats the size space I've got to live in with six guys...but I didn't join Americorps to live in giant rooms and be comfortable. Gotta keep helping people, even if it pops my bubble and makes me a bit uncomfortable. Flash Taco and Moon Burritos
