"Coming Soon" |
Today was a great day to start off Round 2 in FEMA Corps. I am looking forward to what comes tomorrow, though of course I have no idea where I'll be or what I'll be doing.
In other news, Ocean 7 loves our new teammate Zack! We are glad you are here, Zack. Also, in the area we are living there is a gym nearby, and almost all of us are thinking about joining, so more news about that on the next post. I have also decided to challenge myself this round by limiting the amount of money I spend to $75 dollars. This includes all expenses. I am challenging myself to do this because almost everything of necessity is provided by FEMA Corps, and most of the things I buy are stupid anyway. I also want to save up money to spend over the summer when I get back to California. I have been researching what I'm going to do next year/Life After AmeriCorps, and it turns out I might do another year of AmeriCorps- but a different program. I am really interested in Food Corps, however there are a very limited amount of members in Food Corps so it would be challenging to get in. Food Corps is essentially the same program but it is not team-based (Not NCCC) and instead of them providing housing they give more money for your living stipend. I would serve at Elementary Schools, teaching kids about vegetables and real food, and helping them build their own gardens! I don't have a strong desire to go back to college/DVC, especially since I am getting old and these programs have age limits!
That's all for now folks, thanks for listening and checkin up on me :)

Hello, I really enjoy reading your blog. I read your blog because I've been assigned to Femacorps southwest campus for winter 2013. You're blog has helped me get an idea of how I will be living my life for the next ten months. Thank you for sharing your experience while in the corps. Hope to read more.
