Weekend Fun.

This is really Sunday night, but I finished what I needed to do so I can write and have this done by Monday morning.

This weekend has been fun...kind of. Saturday was not a fun day until the afternoon.

Friday night was our dinner with Michael and Bill, who are the sweetest couple. I thought they were totally sweet and had great senses of humor. I being the youngest one had the best time because they don't expend me to know much, but since I've got my "two cents" I could talk it up with them. The best part of dinner was getting to sit next to Matt(!) and because it was such a small booth we were pretty much sitting on each other.

So Saturday they had a group of us (Molly, Julie, (Super) Alice, Johann, Gregory, and me) go to Pikes Island. It's like Catalina basically, but for Maine. We took a ferry out to the Island about 10AM. When we got there, there were 6 of us canvassing. (Really door knocking for people on our list.) I was sent with Molly. Ok, fine with that. Until the dreaded walk...I hated walking around the Island because of 1) the hills, 2) you couldn't find the houses on the list, and 3) the roads weren't marked. So I did it until about 1PM. By then I had blisters on my feet and was not wanting to go out by myself on the island to find these random, numberless houses. So Molly let me go back to the ferry terminal and wait for the rest of the group to get there. We left the island at 2:45 and got back to the office around 4. We had stopped for food first because we were starving.

I so am not going canvassing next week. I didn't have a good time and doing it again might actually kill me. Anyway I don't have to do it again anyway because Jenn told me I don't have to. :D

Today...Sunday was a slow day as we had a group of new people coming in and they had an orientation. There are a few people from CA here and I love them already. Chuck and Patrick are from the Inland Empire and totally cute. I already told Chuck I'm going to marry him. They are really cute and I love them to death already. I'll be sad when I have to leave them, but I'll try to keep in contact with them when this is all over.

All in all the weekend was fun. I can't wait for this weeks adventures.
