| The room Rose and I stayed in |
Today was a very relaxing and fun filled day. I wasn’t expecting
the community service to be as fast as it was. I enjoy cleaning, to a certain
extent, and I think everyone was working hard to get the job done. I had the
job of cleaning furniture and although I only did one house, I was working
diligently. I was just excited to be able to choose the room Rose and I would
be staying in for the night. When we were all done, everyone ran to choose
their rooms. I was being selfish and put one bag each in two different rooms so
that no one would take them because I couldn’t decide which room to choose.
Ultimately, I let Rose choose. We would be sleeping in the pink room downstairs
that night. We had one more job after choosing our rooms, raking. I still don’t
understand why we had to rake right next to the boat house, seeing as the grass
there was not mowed, and it looked like no one had ever bothered to touch that
spot. I think they were just trying to give us something to do to get our
nights worth of stay. What really surprised me during the day was that I found
out Toby could teach us how to do flips! Rose and I were trying so hard to do a
round off, I almost got it, but couldn’t get the ending jump. I was a
cheerleader for four years and I was able to do so many of those flips but once
you stop doing them for a little while you forget how to move your body in
those ways. Now that I know I have an instructor at hand, I can learn how to do
them all over again! It was nice to have just a day where we can relax and
enjoy the area we were in. Wiawaka was so beautiful and had a great spot on the
lake. That led to a few girls swimming in the water. The water was way too cold
for me and if I would have went in my body would have been purple in minutes. I
did enjoy laying on the dock and tanning. I didn’t realize how dark I actually
got until we were in town walking around. Rose and I separated from the group
and went on an adventure. First, I wanted to go around the stores and by
things. I got a great Father’s Day gift and the tie-dye sweatshirt I always try
to buy when I visit Lake George. After shopping, Rose and I went to the arcade.

We went into a lazer maze, and changed our personalities into thieves in a
movie trying to rob a museum. I finished without having my body touch any
lazer. Rose on the other hand, touched two. But, our time made it into the top ten
score and our name will be held on the board until someone breaks our score.
Then, we roamed around the arcade and played a few more games. We spent 15
dollars for two lollypops. We aren’t very good at winning games, and only
collected 15 tickets. Either way, we had a really great time. I wanted to thank
Michael for the lovely dinner, and our other professors for breakfast and marshmallows.
You didn’t have to let us sit around and soak up the sun, but you did, and I appreciate
it.

| Writing on fire place inside Fuller House in Wiawaka |
I found this picture inside Fuller House and I thought it
fit perfectly with this program. Most of us students have seen each other
around, but have essentially came into this program as strangers. As the days
pass, we all grow closer together. Although we may get annoyed with each other
at some points in time, we all realize we have to do the same thing and help
each other as friends. I hope to continue my friendship with all the young
women in this program.
