I live on the Real World. That silly (yet admittedly once addicting) reality show featuring strangers who live together, work together, and have their lives taped. But take away the cameras, and add some meaningful service to the equation, and you've got AmeriCorps NCCC, Badger 6 in New Orleans. And not to forget the fact that in reality, we're anything but strangers to one another. We're a family, and we'd love to welcome you to our humble abode, but you're probably far away and we don't have any money to send you here. :-)
The weekend is coming to a close, and the positively overwhelming amount of Sunday night carb-loading has commenced, and we're on our way to recovery. Two days off has left us a bit confused and its been something to adjust to, having had such a busy two weeks thus far. Not that we're complaining... A good amount of the weekend was spent relaxing, visiting the French Quarter, and exploring Marigny, the neighborhood we live in. The rest of it involved the team chilling out here at our house, either sleeping, reading, eating (always), applying for jobs (we're getting to the end!), or driving each other crazy (on various good and bad levels).
It's pure entertainment at times, because not only have we really gotten to understand and predict habits and behaviors of each member of the team, but the energy in the house is contagious. This typically happens right before dinner, and I only wish there was a way to videotape these Badger 6 moments that are filled with laughing fits.
Anyway, I already know that I'll be sad to leave this project in November. I'm simply having too much fun.
