Jet Lagged

Well, today was zombie day. Translation: I've pretty much had to hold my eyelids open since 7 am. Breakfast at 7, muster at 7:30, then meetings, meetings, meetings! It feels like freshman orientation. Even better: we get to sit on the floor the entire 3.5 hours. We learned about H1N1, and then we all became hypochondriacs. A policeman gave us a presentation and told us about this one area near the base where we need to watch out for prostitutes and pimps. I'll try and avoid that one. Then the TLs (team leaders) gave us a presentation on FRTs (fuel reduction teams). These are teams of Corps members who volunteer to fight wildfires all year. Maybe next time ; )

I don't know if it was the flu virus talk or jet lag, but around 3:30 pm I thought I had a fever, face was flushed and a slight headache. So I napped for an hour, and by napped I mean laid with my eyes closed for an hour. Much better after that.

This evening my roommate and I had a few people over to play cards and color. (I know, this is all incredibly exciting.) Aaaannnd I'm going to bed now.

Tomorrow we're all participating in make a difference day so my pod, Pod 11, is going to an elementary school, to do gardening and landscaping. So, yay! I'm excited. I miss everyone!!!

Until later,

<3 anne
