Halfway through the week, our group was still mudding the
house. At this point, we were mostly on ladders filling in seams on the
ceiling. Needless to say, our hair was covered in mud by the end of the day! I
also learned how to corner bead a wall to cover up the metal strip that
protects the wall corners. At the end of the work day, we had to say goodbye to
Ashlyn, one of our site leaders because she was interviewing for different
Medical Schools on Thursday and Friday.
That night, the chaperones decided to take us out to Creole
Creamery, one of the best ice cream places around. I ordered the Café au lait
ice cream which was delicious! We came home and went to bed early because the
lack of sleep was catching up with all of us!
We continued to mud and sand the house all day Thursday! I
decided to mud the breakfast nook that looks out from the kitchen into the
front room. Slowly but surely, the house was coming together and it was
starting to look like a home!
After work, we went to a BBQ place called The Joint. I got a
pulled pork sandwich and a side of Mac and Cheese. It was delicious!!! One of
my most memorable moments from the trip was, as we were leaving The Joint, the
chaperones decided to have free time in the giant field across the street.
There were tree swings, ropes hanging from trees, and a metal jungle gym that
we all played on for about an hour. It was a great way to de-stress from the
week and just be us. At one point, we all decided to lay on the grass in a
circle and play fun games before heading back to United Saints.
On
Thursday night, a bunch of people stayed at United Saints to relax and catch up
on sleep. We decided to play cards in the girl’s room and the game turned into
a giant competition between the chaperones and the freshmen. In the end, Kai
beat everyone in Egyptian Rat Screw! We went to bed excited but sad for tomorrow;
our last day at 4955 Baccich.
