ITS OVER! Today was the last day of the ACC and all the volunteers are headed out. This week we had way more volunteers than last time and I almost went crazy trying to cater to all of them. Don't get me wrong, we needed the help, and got lots done, but not always in a way I would prefer. But, hey, thats life. I'm glad it's over though, I am more than ready to move on. I only have a week left in Arkansas and I dont know how I feel about that. I'm thrilled to go home and see people again, but I feel like I didn't do much here. It's not that I expected to change lives, but I was hoping change my own. I feel much the same now as I did when I came down here two months ago. I do have more respect for people who can handle leadership, but its still not something I can do myself. I love helping out and taking on small things, but I would rather work alone than be the head of a crew. Last week I probably sounded different since I had a great crew, but they helped me be in charge since they were so great, and the people this week were crazy. I keep thinking of all the things I did in the past year and I dont know how I handled it now. I used to love being busy and made sure I had plans almost every day of the week, now I think having plans a couple days a week is cool with me. Oh well, I'll probably go back to my old ways and be crazy again this semester. I can't wait to be home!
Entertained Amy:
I dont even know where to start, this week has been crazy! I had some really crazy moments that are just blurs now but I do remember some stuff. The people that are usually in charge of Together for Hope Arkansas Delta left for a year to spend in North Caroline, but they came back for the ACC. The woman's parents are Dutch but they lived in Brazil for most of the time she was growing up. Anyway, she made Brazilian food for us, and it was incredible. It was some type of bean stew that you put over rice, and it just made me really happy. Also, this wasnt entertaining for me, but I though you all would like it. I yelled at volunteers. Not really, but I talked to them in a not so nice voice. I have never met people like them and I couldnt stand the way they were treating this project, so I told them to follow the rules and let the kids be the top priority. Oi.
