Iowanna do that (part 4)

So today was easy. Only had one boring meeting that wasn't even that boring. About being safe and such, though every time they talk about safety I feel less safe. They keep talking about how there's asbestos, mold, poisenous snakes, spiders, easy-to-tip vans that we gotta ride in, and random visitations from previous and possibly disgruntled employees. Way to go.
So my life is always filled with people doing off the wall things, and today some random girl stole my number. This has happened before by the way. Chick was just going through my phone and i'm thinking she's just being nosey, but then I get a text from her. It took me a while to figure out it was here, but she def saved her name and everything into my phone. Smh at girls these days.
Finally saw Dinner for Schmucks. Hilarious.
Also opened a bank account today. Got ten free dollars from it. Ya'll know I can't pass up free money.
P.S. if you want ten bucks let me know and I'll refer you for the money.

Iowanna do that (Part 3)

So on the third day of MDmiss I realized playing soccer and basketball for four hours is generally a bad idea. I don't think I'll be able to walk without a limp for at least a week. Luckily the PT doesn't start up until next Friday. So far the meetings are still sleeping pills but the pill are all cool. Played monopoly yesterday but didn't finish because it got too late. Whodathunkit.
Lol I wonder how many people here think I'm a clown for wearing my pants the way I did the other day. Being a person with sense, I like zippers. These uniform pants use buttons and I didn't see how many buttons since I got dressed in the dark (which I realize is also a bad idea for the most part)I didn't button them up right. So i was walking around with giant gaps in my jimmy region and no one said anything. lol guess the people up here are also a lot quieter than those in MD.
We went grocery shopping yesterday and definately blocked the isles. Again, no one said anything. People are too nice up here. If we didn't see them they would have never made it through. Come on Iowans! Give yourself a voice. However will little tommy eat his lettace if you don't tell the Americorps members that they're in your way?
Oh well, guess patience is a virtue. I'm definately learning that up here. At least I don't have to get up early tomorrow. Looking forward to finally sleeping in.

Day 2 and it's a little better but still not like being around free food. The people are really the only thing keeping me sane right now. The rules are just annoying, and the training speakers are really serial killers trying to bore us to death. It almost worked today. Luckily I got a hold of a basketball and got out some stress.
On a lighter note, my mom told me I passed my certification exam for personal training...so that can sit on a shelf with my English Degree lol.
Also found out they didn't tell me that I have to find my own transportation to and from the airport so I don't know if I'll ever get to go home before november. I gotta keep reminding myself that I did this to help people, not to feel comfortable. Woosah. At least there is free food!

So I'm finally here. Iowa. Cornfields and cows are my neighbors and I'm not happy yet. It's only the first day but it's not looking too bright so far. I'm hoping it's like wine and gets better with time, but so far they've royally screwed me. I feel like one of King Henry's wives (the ones unlucky enough to lose their heads). They put me in a room with no internet and ten guys. They all seem cool, but I feel like I'm taking steps backwards. I was in an apartment and now I'm back in a dorm. Either way, all I can do is keep pushing and hope it gets better. The only plus so far is that the people all seem cool enough.
I've also entered into a new relationship (2/11/11) and I'm hoping it doesn't get too strained. I've give it my all and hope for the best. Wish me luck.
