Ole Miss

     Hello friends.  I have had a pretty awesome week.  But before I tell you about it, I'd like to say RIP to Brett Olsen, a boy who went to my school in Lafayette, who I will forever remember as Harold Hill in our Elementary School's production of the Music Man.  Party hard in heaven, Brett :)
   
     This week the entire 220 members of FEMA Corps Headed to Camp Lake Stephens which is a few minutes away from Ole Miss.  We went to a restaurant called McAllister's, which is basically like a Panera Bread. It was so tasty that we went again later in the week!  The second day we did the AmerOlympics at Ole Miss, where each team competes in soccer, football, waterballoon toss and whatnot.  Then we found out our results from our Myer's Briggs personality test. I found out that I'm an ENFP or someone with Extroverted Intuition with Introverted Feeling.  That night I had a choir practice and then I went to the lake where I did a 40 foot Zip Line into the lake! It was super fun! Then I swam in the lake for a while.  The next day I did a service project at the Camp where I shoveled mulch into wheel-barrels, and let me say that I got some awesome forearm muscles from that :)  That night we made burritos and smores in the fire and went out to frozen yogurt.

    The next day was the Ropes Course at Ole Miss.  We did low ropes first which got the team working together to figure out creative strategies for the various obstacles.  Then we did 3 high ropes elements which were the Rock Wall, the Flying Squirrel- where 5 people pull another person up into the air, and the Pamper Pole-where you climb up a pole and try to jump onto a trapeze-type thing.
