The one where I am in the right place

HERE I AM IN SUNNY SACRAMENTO!! Except it's really not that sunny today but it's a welcome change. So I have survived my first 4 days in AmeriCorps NCCC and I am LOVING it!! I can already feel positive changes in my life happening.... here's how it went!!

Wednesday Oct 14th

The day that everyone partly dreads and partly wants to pee their pants from excitement from. The day we all fly out to start a new adventure. I, of course, forced my brothers to come with me and my mom to the airport at 3:00 in the morning... my last act of torture on them.

I got to the Dallas Fort Worth airport and met the first of my Amerifriends at the airport. We all hit it off right away and were chatting and laughing like we have been friends for years. At that moment my nerves vanished and was replaced with straight up excitement! Shout out to all of my Dallas airport friends!!

                                                                      Lake Tahoe!!

Once we landed in Sacramento (which is definitely more flatter than I pictured it but it's no Kansas) the rest of the day was spent doing paper work, settling in my dorm with my awesome roomates, and meeting all of the amazing people that I have been waiting to meet.

Thursday Oct 15th

Today is the day that I have been waiting months for... MET MY SWAGGY TEAM!! We are blue 5 and I couldn't be happier with my team. We are crazy as heck but it's so great. Luckily we have a team leader who is super patient with us. Besides that we mainly did more in processing and shots and stuff. Shout out to my team mate Sheila who held my hand while I got my shots. I don't have a picture of my whole team yet but you all better look forward to it to be posted because we are SEXY!

                 We got our uniforms today... basically my ootd for the next 10 months so holla.

Friday/Saturday Oct 16/17th

Our first days of CTI (corps training institute) the stuff that somebody with a cray cray mind like myself usually has a hard time with but I know it's very important so I have been doing a pretty good job at paying attention. I'm sure you all don't want me to get into super details about that so yay pictures.

                                     When  you have breaks in training, it's time for selfies.

It was our team leader's birthday so we "surprised" him with balloons and party hats.... except he saw us with giant bags of balloons soooo he wasn't surprised.

Not all of Blue five but most of us!!

Thanks for reading and don't forget to serve others!!
