Silver 6, y'all

We've finally been sorted into our groups that we'll being living, breathing, working, and eating with for the next 10 months! I'm a member of Silver 6. There are 12 of us on the team and we're from all over the place. There's one girl who's a Maryland alum, which is pretty neat. We're all a little quiet as yet... still getting used to the idea that we need to get to know a new group of people right after we just finished getting to know our old group (our pod). But I think we have potential. Our team leader's name is Morgan and she seems like a great girl and a capable leader.
We had a funny scavenger hunt event yesterday afternoon to hype up the process of finding out our teams. Ours involved a phone call to a Korean guy who pretended that he didn't speak English, reading off a phonetically spelled Kor-English sentance to said guy, telling a joke to a roomate in hopes that we could make her laugh and get our next clue, and finally finding our team van! We're problem-solving right off the bat.

Just in case you were wondering what that prize-winning joke was... I've got it here for you, dedicated reader.

Why shouldn't you take a shower with a Pokemon?


Because he might Pikachu!


Pretty quality.... almost better than my Beethovan joke.


Today's adventures include van driver training and taking to the roads of downtown Sacramento and the highways that connect us here in the stripmall outpost of McClellan to the bustling metropolis. Saturday is what I'm really looking forward to though... there's an all-campus service day scheduled when we're going to be working in and starting community gardens around the area.
