Biloxi

I am starting to see how Jason gets behind on this haha
I am currently on spring break for the week and I am in Biloxi, back at Lemoyne Boulevard Baptist Church, doing more work. I really enjoyed it during winter break and plus Sammy didn't want to be the only girl in the group. The first day, Monday, we got here, it was about 6ish and so we went to the beach, where Justin broke his toe. He didn't get it checked out til today though. Yesterday, Tuesday, we went around cleaning up houses for the nexct group to come in and build on the house. Then about 4, we got done, showered, went to walmart, and then went to the beach for a picnic and to watch the sunset! It was pretty cool. I must have taken over 230 pictures yesterday alone. Today, Sammy and I stayed at the church and popped pills. The church helps sponsor this free clinic and they get all their meds from pharmecuetical companies and they are in like sample form, and they need it in well, not sample form. So they need people to pop them out of their little packages. That's where the whole pill-popping thing comes from haha. And Sammy and I did it all day. Ty helped us in the morning before lunch and Justin helped us in the afternoon. Needless to say, my thumbs HURT!
My shoulders also hurt from the wood we were carrying back and forth and im pretty sure i'll be getting a fiberglass zit on my arm from the insulation, but it's all good.
I've been thinking of talking to Alan and seeing if it's at all possible to maybe stay here for a semester. I've been thinking of taking a semester off, and rather laying around doing nothing, I could be here, making a difference, and the church could help my find a paying job while i am here. I don't know, it's just something that's been on my mind alot. There's alot on my mind these days haha but I am just trying to focus on getting off academic probation for this semester.

So many thoughts going around in my brain and no way to really sort it out.
Story of my life.

I'll try to update more, and I'll try to keep ya'll updated on the whole Summer in Biloxi possibility...
